Wouldn't be without them...., 13 Mar. 2011

If you're expecting and planning to breast-feed, buy these now. All that leaking (and precious..)milk in the early days of feeding can be collected and frozen for the nights out you are looking forward to! So much more usable than the older rigid shells, these stay in place by suction due to the flexible silicon back. Just watch that you get the little hole uppermost so you don't lose the milk out of the bottom, and don't bend over suddenly while wearing them! Buy some milk storage bags too. It may well be worth buying two sets of these shells if you want to have spares while one set is in your sterilising solution (although most solutions do the job in an hour anyway..) PS Persevere with breastfeeding, it can be tough while your nipples get used to it but then it's a doddle - and so special for you and your baby :) :)

Love these!, 12 Jun. 2015

These shells have been so worth the money. When my milk supply was just establishing i was soaking through everything. These saved me! Now i just sterilise and use them too collect what i leak from the opposite side to feeding and add to a bottle in the fridge then i freeze that at the end of the day. I dont pump so even just having a back up - just from collecting- has been fantastic. Comfortable to wear, even for a long period. The only thing thats irritating is it has a little hole at the top for pouring - which is obviously handy and practical - just don't bend over too far or you'll end up soaked! Still love these though and have been telling everyone about them!

Buy this product!, 28 Oct. 2014

Very useful, I can collect over an ounce of milk sometimes which otherwise would have been wasted, I only wish I had brought them earlier. Also you get two shells (I thought only one), so one can be sterilising whilst the other is being used. Would recommend to all breastfeeding mums.
