Medela Breast Milk Collection Shells, Collection Cups for Nursing and Breastfeeding Designed to Catch Excess Breastmilk, 2-Ct

These collection cups are amazing. I currently breastfeeding my second baby and I really do not want to pump because I was so prone to mastitis with my first. However, I would like to have some milk stashed just in case. I put these on after my shower. Got dressed then got baby and changed his diaper. I dumped the right one in there and then started nursing him on my right. Then, before I nursed him on my left I dumped the left one in there. This is what I got just with that!!!

I bought these when I had my first child and they were the absolute best, I swear by them! I then bought them for my sister in law also and she says it’s one of the best things she got. She comes from a family where not one women I either side of her family ever breastfed so she was a little hesitant. It’s nice because it catches milks but also allow your boobs to vent and not chap up as bad. They also protect your tender nipples being hit. Gave me more confidence knowing I wasn’t going to leak through my shirt, I was protected from being pumped, and I could save more milk.

These are pretty decent, however I wish there was a way it would actually cling to the breast. It collects milk as you are feeding from the other breast or collecting milk from one pump. It is small, and will not handle a massive amount of milk.

Prior to using these collection shells, I didn’t realize how much milk was being wasted. While feeding from my left breast, I will tuck a shell into my bra on the right breast to catch what leaks. By the time my baby is ready to switch sides, there is an ounce collected in the shell that would’ve otherwise soaked into my nursing pad! We all know every ounce counts when it comes to breastmilk, so I’m glad I purchased these.

Perfect to slip into bras without being very noticeable. I use it for letdown while feeding or pumping on the other side.

These milk collectors stick around your areola and are kind of sore. They didn’t leak for me. They were easy to clean and store. Overall they didn’t do a good job in my opinion because they caused pain. The materials are good quality. They don’t leak, but personally I wouldn’t buy again because they dig into the skin.

Ordered more since I wear them so much. I will say if you are overflowing they will leak with position changes. For small amounts of leaking though; it’s nice to have and collect the milk.

I love the size and comfort of these. I use them when breastfeeding my son to catch the let down on the other side and they are perfect. They’re just big enough to catch the milk, but not too big where they look weird. They don’t have suction just in case you’re expecting that. I have the Haaka for that, but it’s just so oddly shaped and it would hurt me so I opted for these.

Good product! I like that they don't have any suction but sit snag on a breast and unnoticeable so you can wear them while outing. They are not too big and could be a bit challenging to pour the milk our without spilling if you have a lot. But I only use them when I nurse so that I don't waste milk on the other side. This is how much I collected with them throughout the day of nursing. Makes me sad realizing how much milk I wasted before I bought them.

My top breastfeeding product. Use daily multiple times and barely need to pump!

I bought these because the price was better than just one Hakaa Ladybug. Overall, I still prefer the Ladybug since it allows for gentle suction. These cups are smaller, which makes them less visible in a bra, but that also means less room for milk. I’m a bit concerned about spills because of the opening at the top, though that hasn’t happened yet. On the plus side, they’re easy to clean, remove, and reassemble. A decent budget-friendly option, but not my top choice. As a side note this is on the same product page as the manual pump which made it confusing when I was trying to determine if reviews for this specific product were positive.

These were great for the first few weeks postpartum. I put one in my bra on the opposite side I was feeding on and got a decent amount of milk until my supply regulated. Easy to take apart to clean and comfortable to wear. Each one has an opening at the top to pour the milk out, but they aren’t leak proof so you can’t wear them to sleep or bend over while wearing them.

Thought it was good at first but leaked within 10 minutes, might only be good when feeding. If your boob is soft it goes inside more kind of pinching it which hurts more than my baby chomping my nipple. 30 minutes later I was still sore.
