Why Buy A Set of 3 Sizes from Pumpin' Pal?
Five Reasons We Recommend a Set of Three Sizes
1) Many, many people have different size nipples and need a different size flange on each breast. 2) Flange sizing isn't well understood, even by most lactation consultants, and many people use the wrong size flange, never knowing how much better it could be in the right size. Using a nipple diameter measurement tool is only one of many factors in correct flange fitting, especially with our angled design, since our flanges don't correspond directly to millimeter sizes. Regular flange measurements are taken at the sharp and abrupt corner from the flange to the tunnel area, which is the frequent culprit of pumping pain. Our flanges have a gradual transition from the "funnel" to the "tunnel" (allowing you to lean back without spilling milk). This helps them cover a range of sizes, but it means they cannot be measured in the same way. (See chart here.) 3) It's very common to have elastic nipple tissue that stretches too far down the tunnel. This means that what looks (or even measures) like a certain size often turns out to be different when it's in a flange using vacuum. This is particularly true for our silicone flanges, which are built to manage elasticity. 4) Nipple size can change over time, especially during weaning, so it helps to have different sizes on hand as time goes on. 5) [Small Set only] Having the green Medium hard plastic flange is a helpful backup option for our silicone flanges when there's an issue with lubrication or correct application. Having a set of three flange sizes gives you the flexibility of having the right size at the right time to remove milk most effectively, which can make all the difference. Our Sets give you the opportunity to try each flange size to determine the best fit. Then, you'll be fully prepared for your pumping journey.Benefits of Purchasing a Set
