Medela PersonalFit Breast Shields

One size does not always fit all, so Medela developed PersonalFit breast shields in 5 different sizes to meet every mom's needs. Lactation professionals agree that proper breast shield fit is essential for not only comfort, but also for effective milk expression.

Many women benefit from a size other than the standard 24 mm breast shield. It is almost impossible to tell which size breast shield is the best fit without watching the nipple movement during pumping.

Should you try a new size?

• Does your nipple rub sides of tunnel, to the point of causing discomfort?
• Do you see excessive areola being pulled into tunnel?
• Do you see any redness?
• Is your nipple or areola turning white?
• Do you feel unexpressed milk after pumping?
