Not necessarily for large breasted women (2010-05-10)
I mistakenly thought that these were needed for large breasted women (in part, based on what other reviewers said). Not necessarily. These are for women with extra-thick nipples, not extra large breasts. I bought these while pregnant, trying to get ready, but it turns out I didn't need them. Although I ended up ballooning out to a 40H, I seem to fit just fine into the normal sized breastshields. Apparently, my nipples are normal sized. Amenda has a website that explains it all, but more or less, if your nipple is rubbing against the side, then you need to go to a bigger size. The 30 mm seems to be the diameter of the tunnel. The cone itself is only very slightly bigger in the 30 mm size. If you are having trouble and you think you need bigger or wider cones, don't buy this because the cone really is not much bigger.
I did have a different problem in that my breast was not well supported during pumping and the rim of the shield would dig into my breast. It appears that the answer to that problem is to get a nursing bra that offers support even while pumping. The Fancee Free bra seems to offer this and although it is a pretty hideous bra, it seems to get the job done.
Too large for me (2010-01-31)
I own the Medela Freestyle and tried to use the soft cup shields that came with it but it left me sore and swollen. I'm a full C cup normally and thought the 30mm would be a good fit, but after using once it didn't seem to be doing the job. I later purchased the 27mm and they are perfect. It makes all the difference in the world by having the right size...no soreness, no swelling, and very efficient! If you think the breast shields that came with your pump are too small, they probably are. No point in owning a good quality breast pump if it doesn't fit you. These are worth every penny!
Easier & Faster, More Comfortable Pumping (2009-06-26)
These breastshields are a great investment for women with larger breasts or nipples. I tried the 24mm breastshields that came with my Medela Freestyle pump and they did not fit at all. So I went to Target to get larger ones and they had the 27mm size, so I got those. Those were better, but still a little too small, so I searched online for these 30mm ones. Once I received these and used them I was elated because it made the pumping much more comfortable and the milk came out much quicker. I would highly recommend these! By the way, I am a D cup while nursing, if that helps anyone get an idea of who these might work for.
They work well... (2009-06-04)
The size that came with the pump were too small so I had to purchase the larger size. They work as described and I have to issues with them.
Very quick service! (2009-03-21)
The flanges were delivered so quickly...just a few days after I placed my order. Very helpful cause I needed them badly!
