What are breast milk collection shells?
Milk collection shells are worn over your nipple to collect leaking breast milk, ensuring that not a drop that leaks during feeds go to waste. Medela milk collection shells are made from skin-friendly materials and shaped to your body, making them comfortable and discreet to wear.
How to use Medela milk collection shells
You’ll need to assemble the two parts of the milk collection shells before use, which is easy to do:
- The soft, flexible silicone membrane is designed to be gentle on skin – place it on to the outer shell, snapping it all the way around.
- Once assembled, place the milk collection shell inside your bra, with the membrane’s opening centered over your nipple. The handy spout should be facing upwards.
It’s a good idea to wear a nursing bra when using milk collection shells. These tend to be a bit roomier than a typical bra, ensuring the shells apply less pressure to your breasts.
