Medela Milk Collection Shells - BPA-Free, Made from Soft, Flexible Silicone, Includes 2 Shells

Hands down this has been a life saver for me, I am currently breastfeeding my daughter and I have a huge oversupply and was constantly leaking and flooding however this product has saved me the embarrassment of being soaked constantly. I would 100% recommend this product! I have managed to save so much milk and store it thanks to this product as well. No more waste! Very comfortable too, I actually forget I have it in my bra sometimes and end up tipping over and milk coming out (but that is my fault not the products😂) I do have to remember to take it out before bending over with them in but it is so easy to forget they are there! Quick, easy and efficient :) extremely pleased!

These little things are fantastic! I wish I had discovered them in the early days after birth when my boobs were literally pouring with milk before and during every feed, I could've collected so much milk to freeze and use later! At 8 weeks post partum I still have very leaky boobs so I thought I'd give them a go as I hate pumping but would like to store some milk for later down the line when baby is a little older and I'd like the option for my partner to bottle feed to give me a break or some freedom! I wear them instead of breast pads and it's amazing how much milk they collect, especially from the opposite breast during a feed. They are fairly comfortable but would be perceptible if not wearing a baggy top/ jumper, and are nice and easy to clean and sterilise. A great purchase if you want a hassle free way to collect milk without pumping!

One of the best things I’ve bought to save so much milk that would usually get wasted into a disposable breast pad, I simply pour saved milk in the fridge for top ups during or after my sons feeds, just wish there was a lid at the top as if you bend over all milk spills out so you easily :( so keep checking for milk 24:7 just incase to save it spilling out! Bit tedious but I’ve managed to save so much milk rather than being a waste like it has been in the past with my other two children, i also use a Hakka pump to collect from one side whilst feeding from the other if I’m not using the medela collection shells. But for actual pumping I use the medela free style pump :) these are simply great for collecting milk that comes out naturally by itself & would usually go to waste when you’re experiencing a let down etc whilst feeding or hormonal let down in between feeds. They don’t collect much before full, just remember to remove carefully to save spillage too! ;) checking often & storing often will prevent this :) I even where mine out & about as they are comfier than other makes (you get what you pay for) soft silicone backing :)

Fantastic product, I was shocked at how much milk I was able to collect and save just by using one of these each time I fed/expressed! I thought these were suction cups so was surprised that they actually just sit inside your bra, however they are great and comfortable for short term use - I’ve had no leaks. They’re easy to use, clean and empty. I wouldn’t recommend using these over a long period of time as they only hold a small amount of milk and could fill up quickly and leak if using for too long a period, however they’ve been perfect for popping into my bra to collect any leakage whilst I’ve been feeding.

I had a preemie in NICU so you end up with an oversupply as you pump and baby isn’t able to feed yet. I was lucky enough to produce a lot of milk, but this meant if I didn’t frequently pump I was losing a lot in my bra. These were my first set of shells. They are really good, exactly as they look/described. The only downside to these is the volume and lack of stopper. I was leaking so much between pumps that I was almost filling these, so they’re better if you leak less. Also, I leaned forward quite a few times completely forgetting I had them in, spilling about 40ml of milk all over my clothes in the hospital! I then bought some haakaa ones with a stopper that hold more volume and also have suction. I’ve rated these 1 for suction as they don’t have any (I wouldn’t expect them to as they are plastic). These just collect any milk that is coming out anyway. Overall a really good product, but definitely suited more to someone who leaks less and won’t forget that they’re in! Very easy to clean and use, you literally just pop the silicone ring on and off. Just make sure it’s on properly otherwise you’ll leak.

This product has saved me so much washing over the past few weeks. My daughter is now 6 weeks old and from the point my milk came in I have been lucky enough to produce litres of the stuff. This did, however, mean that every time I fed her from one breast, the other leaked milk everywhere. Not only was I soaked after 5 minutes but so was my daughter. It was extremely frustrating. Breast pads were definitely not enough to keep us dry. A friend mentioned that you could buy shells to catch the milk so after a quick Amazon search I found these. I chose them because I thought they looked more comfortable than the others. They have been great. They are comfortable to wear during a feed, I did try wearing them for day to day activities once and found I looked like a breast feeding Lara Croft, huge and pointy. They have captured all my spare milk which I can then save (if I have sterilised the shells which I have done in a Closer To Nature steam steriliser) or just throw away and as long as you make sure the hole is the right way up then they haven't leaked, even when I've leant over to change her nappy and forgotten it was there. I would definitely recommend this product if you are having problems leaking vast quantities of milk during a feed. I think they may get a little uncomfortable if you tried wearing them for long periods of time; they have left rings round my nipples occasionally, but for half an hour or so they are fine.

Really comfortable to wear and easy to use. I found myself leaking quite often while feeding my daughter so bought these to wear on the other side. Really easy to slide one into the bra cup and it would fill up. For reference I am usually an A cup, C/D cup at my largest when breastfeeding.

I don’t often give reviews on products however these have been the best purchase I’ve made for breastfeeding. I’d tried several types of reusable/non reusable pads and was finding I had to replace them after every feed due to being soaked through however now I collect that milk instead! Definitely recommend! Comfortable to wear and easy to clean.
