Do you know if you're using the correct flange size? Lets check!
Measuring the Right Flange Size
1. Measure your nipple using a tape measure.
Measure the diameter of your nipple in millimeters. Do not include measurements for your areola, the larger part around your nipple.
2. Select your flange size based on your measurement.
Check the table above to see the right flange size for you. If your pump manufacturer doesn’t offer one of these sizes, look for the next closest size.
How to know if it is the proper fit?
1. The flange fits comfortably.
2. Only the nipple and a small part of the areola enter the tunnel when pumping.
3. Your nipple moves freely when pumping.
Don't forget: Breasts are not identical!
Each breast may require a different size flange. In fact, your flange size may even change throughout your pumping journey.
Reminder: Before replacing your pump parts...
It’s a good idea to remeasure to confirm you are still using the correct size.
Using the correct size flange is crucial to a successful and comfortable pumping experience. Spending a few minutes determining your flange size will go a long way!
