The Real Pumpin’ Pals - Lactation Providers

Empowering Today’s Lactation Consultants

 Evidence-based tools designed to help you fit faster, support better, and give every pumping mom the comfort she deserves.

  • Not just for elastic nipples — our angled design supports all tissue types by aligning suction with natural anatomy.
  • Rotation is key: the OptiFit system can be positioned anywhere on the “clock” (12, 3, 6, 9 — and every angle in between) to individualize comfort and milk flow.
  • Evidence-based: backed by Jeanette Mesite Frem’s study confirming that comfort and flow matter more than simple measurements.
  • Designed for experimentation: bodies aren’t static — these flanges adapt as the parent’s body and pumping patterns change.
  • Simplifies fitting: instead of chasing millimeters, focus on comfort, output, and efficiency.
  • Proven over 25 years: thousands of successful outcomes guided the OptiFit’s evolution long before the research caught up.
  • LCs and parents aligned: leading professionals like Allison Tolman now echo what we’ve been teaching for decades — that true fit comes from feel, not numbers.

Our Story

We’ve Been Supporting Lactation Consultants Since the Beginning

Pumpin’ Pal was founded by a dad who wanted to make pumping easier for his wife, more efficient, and more comfortable for every mom. Over two decades later, our mission hasn’t changed — it’s only grown stronger.


We’ve proudly partnered with IBCLCs, ILCA, and WIC programs across the country, developing real solutions based on your clinical feedback and the moms you serve. We’re not just another flange company — we’re your partner in evidence-based care.

New Research Direction

The new study from Jeanette Mesite Frem supports a groundbreaking, evidence-based approach to flange sizing — one that aligns with what we at Pumpin’ Pal have been championing for over 25 years. The research finally validates what experience has shown us all along: comfort and milk flow matter more than simple measurements, and a trial of multiple sizes may be necessary to determine the correct size.

The OptiFit System builds on this science to give you a body-led, data-backed fitting process that works.
