Medela Personal Fit Large Breastshields 27 mm

After several months of pumping with the standard 24 mm size shields, I realized they might be too big. The 21 mm ones actually fit and it is so much better - more comfortable as well as more efficient pumping. Wish I had gotten these months ago. The only issue is that the 21 mm shields aren't quite as easy to fit into the other parts of the pump - it's a tight fit. But still works fine.

I bought this because the sizes that originally came with my pump were too big. These fit just right and now I am expressing more milk.

I bought this due to thinking that the standard size was too big. I looked at the sizing recommendation in my breast pump books and thought this size would be a better fit. Turns out I was wrong. Big time. One use and my nipples were bleeding. Eh well lesson learned. Definitely going to return these.

Size fits much better than the standard for me. Just wish there was a way to not have to pay more for the item that comes with the pump in the first place.

This is the second child I've breastfed and I used all my supplies from the previous child. I have a 20 month old and a 6 month old. I've always known that the 24mm (standard) size was slightly too big. So I decided it was time to get the 21mm shield instead. I have 2 medela pumps and one freemie pump. I love my medela over anything. Unfortunately, i was a little disappointed in the 21mm shield I have just purchased. It is nothing like the standard size. It is shorter in length, a lot shorter, which causes my nipple to almost touch the end during pumping. It also much thicker, making it harder to use and clean. I'm not sure if all the shields have changed but I definitely do not recommend the continuance of this change. It was great before, it wasn't too think or extremely thick. The length was perfect, allowing the nipples to extend freely.
