Some mothers do well with a standard breast flange. But some need a larger size.
How do you know?
One way to know you need a larger flange is if pumping hurts, even on low suction.
But there are other ways to tell.
You can, for example, measure your nipple. If your nipple at rest is?about 22 mm or larger, you will most likely need a flange size larger than the standard. The best way to gauge size is while pumping. You know you have a good flange fit when you can see space around your nipple as it is pulled into the nipple tunnel.
The Ameda Custom Breast Flanges replace standard flanges (25mm) included with most pumps and kits.
