A Note From Pumpin' Pal
We hope you already have a sample pack of our unique angled flanges. If not, please reach out and we will promptly send one your way.
Here’s what we want you to know about us and our commitment to supporting you and the mothers you serve:
- We are not a new to this. Our flanges have been sold worldwide, since 1999. We own multiple patents, pending patents, and we are here for the long haul.
- We are not a Pump Company: We specialize in creating universal improvement accessories that work with leading pumps on the market. This allows us to help more moms, regardless of the pump brand they use.
- We believe in Risk-Free Solutions: Our OptiFit Set is always refundable. If our solution doesn't help a mom achieve her goals, she should continue her search for what works best for her unique needs.*
- We have proven that flange fitting is more than just Nipple Size: Our designs consider breast shape, tissue elasticity, and nipple size. Our goal is to help each mom determine the optimal flange for the left breast, the right breast, for today and the future.
- We believe that success is all about experimentation: an Evidence-Based Approach to Flange Fitting: Recent studies** confirm the need for mothers to have many flange options. We believed this from the beginning, leading to the development of our structured fitting process: the OptiFit Program.
- Proven Success: Hundreds of thousands of successful outcomes guided the evolution of OptiFit long before the research caught up.
About Our Angled Flanges
Your Go-To Tool for Confident Flange Navigation
- Support for All Tissue Types: Our angled design supports all tissue types, not just elastic nipples, by utilizing different materials for different situations.
- Rotation is Key: Pumpin’ Pal angled flanges can be rotated to any position. This accounts for the direction the nipple points and enhances the flow of shallow ducts.
- Designed to Adapt: Bodies change. Our flanges adapt as the parent’s body and pumping patterns evolve over time.
- Simplified Fitting: We simplify the fitting process. Instead of chasing millimeter measurements, we encourage focusing on comfort, output, and efficiency. True fit comes from feel, not numbers
Introducing the OptiFit Set
OptiFit is the core of our solution, designed to take the guesswork out of flange fitting:
- Cost-Effective: The one-time cost of an OptiFit set is equivalent to purchasing just two pairs of standard flanges
- A Lifetime Solution: OptiFit helps a mom for her entire pumping journey.
- Cost-Effective: The one-time cost of an OptiFit set is equivalent to purchasing just two pairs of standard flanges
- Refundable Trial: We give moms 30 days to work with all of our flanges to find their optimal size(s) with the comfort of a full refund.
What We Ask of You.
Just tell your clients about us. That’s it!
Our only request is a simple introduction: Please tell your moms about Pumpin' Pal's OptiFit program.
Too many mothers stop breastfeeding because they are unsuccessful at pumping, unaware that alternatives exist. Our consistently low 7% return rate over 25 years shows we have a better than 9 out of 10 chance of making a difference.
While providers have done a fantastic job fitting mothers over the years, bodies change, often when a mom is no longer under your direct care. It is time to let the OptiFit process do the heavy lifting for long-term success.
- If you find a straight flange that works great during a consult, that's wonderful—just remember to mention us for future changes and needs.
- If a mom isn't responding positively to current options, please direct her to our site. We ship fast and subsidize the cost of express shipping to get her comfortable as soon as possible.
Thank you again for all you do. We appreciate you so much.

New Research Direction
A new study 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.
