Pumpin Pal flanges
Product Details
Brand: Pumpin Pal

*** Please check sizing information carefully - Pumpin Pal flange sizing is based on your best fitting regular flange size and if you are using a size that still has any areola being pulled in you are probably not using the correct size - www.cherishedparenting.com.au/flange-sizing-guide ***


A variation on regular flanges - these are angled to potentially aid in comfort and output*.


Price is per sized pair


Available in 4 sizes (number in brackets relates to your regular flange size - click here for a sizing guide - I have helped size >1000 mothers and most (~95%) have needed between 13 and 18mm - if you having issues, double/triple check that you are actually using the correct size for you, feel free to contact me if you need help) -

2XS (<15mm)

XS (15mm - 18mm)

S (19mm - 23mm)

M (24mm - 29mm)

L and XL sizes are made by Pumpin Pal, but I do not sell these sizes as they are very large and I've never seen anyone need that big. If you believe you need that big please contact me.


2XS, XS, and S are made from silicone, the M are made from hard plastic. 2XS, XSs and S come with a 'collar' to help fit into the connectors.


Connectors - if you already have a 2-piece flange system (eg Medela®) you should not need connectors. If you are currently using a one-piece flange system (eg Spectra®) you will need to add connectors to your order. Wide connectors are comparable to Spectra (eg the backflow protectors will fit on directly), narrow neck connectors fit narrow neck bottles (eg Medela®) and need an adapter if you are using a Spectra-like back flow protector. Please feel free to email me if you have questions


Note that the old way of pushing them into an existing 24mm flange is no longer recommended as the seal may not be tight


BPA free


FAQ -

Why don't you sell these in packs of 3 sizes like they do in the USA?

If you want 3 sizes then technically adding 3 sizes (without connectors) to your cart will be the same price as they are from the USA (when allowing for exchange rates and postage costs). However, in my experience, you should not need to test out 3 sizes to know which size best suits you - if you have found a 'regular' flange size that suits your nipple size and is somewhat comfortable, you should know what size to get in the Pumpin Pal flanges. If you are using a flange 18mm or bigger then you should double-check your sizing here, or contact me for assistance.


I've heard these are good for elastic nipples, is that right?

In my experience (over 1000 people sized in person and via video since August 2020), the vast majority of people who think they have elastic nipples are actually using the wrong size - usually way too big. I highly recommend double-checking your size here or contacting me for assistance. If you think you need soft silicone flanges for comfort, you are probably using the wrong size - look at the sizing guide.


I would also recommend double-checking your size if you are using a 19mm flange or bigger and want something more comfortable - most people need between 13 and 18mm and once they find the correct size it is more comfortable.


I have found these to be good for those with very large, soft breasts, where despite using the correct size, more 'contact' with the flange is needed (although this isn't guaranteed).


Will these help increase my supply?

*There is no guarantee that this product will increase your supply. Unfortunately expressing can be a very individual thing - what works for one person may not work for another and there are a lot of factors that influence output. The main consideration is to have frequent, effective milk removal. There is more information on increasing supply with a breast pump if you click here


I need something more comfortable - a silicone flange will help, correct?

Not necessarily. In my experience (helping size over 1000 mothers since August 2020) it is not the material of the flange that makes it more comfortable, but the sizing. Sometimes 1-2 sizes too big can be worse than 3+ sizes - if there is room between the nipple and the side of the flange you can probably size down.

Note regarding stock - I sell these items online and in person.  Sometimes items sell out quickly.  Please check the product description carefully - there will usually be a note at the top, in bold, if an item is going to be out of stock for more than a few days and its ETA.

Note regarding postage - I understand how keen you are to get your items, most orders are sent out by the next business day.  Choosing Express does not mean the processing will be any faster - you are paying for Express Postage - orders are processed in the order they are received.  Sometimes items go out of stock before I have a chance to update the website - I will do my best to email you within 48hrs if an item you have ordered is out of stock.

 

AusPost has suspended their express post guarantee and for some places it may take longer than normal for items to arrive.  Express is still faster than Standard shipping.  You should receive an email once the item is shipped with a tracking number - if you do not receive an email within 48 (business) hours of placing the order, please contact me.
