Description of Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Shells
Avent Comfort Breast Shell Set
If you decide to breastfeed, these breast shells are an absolute lifesaver during those first few months. The set contains two different shells that are worn inside your bra and over your nipples.
- The Ventilated Shells (with holes) provide exposure to air while creating a barrier between sore nipples and clothing, to aid in the healing process.
- The Breast Milk Saver Shells (without holes) allow for the collection of leaking milk and also help prevent embarrassing wet spots.
- The Ultra-Soft Silicone Backing Cushions can be used with both shells; they have petal-like massagers that gently provide added stimulation to relieve engorgement. An extra-wide opening for the nipple provides comfort and actually helps to draw out inverted or flat nipples.
Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Shells
Customer Review: These work ok, but...
Summary: 3 Stars
These do save mik and allow your nipples to breathe, but there are things to consider before trying...
If you have short nipples you should be aware of the following:
- The back piece has a hole that is not flush with the breast. It is about 1/3 inch from the base of the nipple at the areola, so if you have nipples that are short, the milk won't make it into the cup and instead catches between the silicone back and your breast. If that gap fills up then the milk will go into the cup. MESSY to remove at that point.
- You have to wear a nursing pad over the bottom of these for the reason listed above, or wear a soggy shirt.
If you have large breasts you should be aware of the following:
- These are not shallow, they stick out almost an entire inch. I am a 38DDD and these things made me look like I had GIANT mounds for nipples.
- These will really press into your breasts and may get uncomfortable for anything over 10 minutes.
For all gals with any sized breasts, know this:
- You can only wear them 40 minutes at a time, according to the insert, because they put undue pressure on the base of your milk ducts.
- When I rest one of these shells in my hand it is bigger than my palm, be aware that these are not small or discrete; you would probably only want to use these at home or if you didn't care if people think you possess giant, puffy nipples.
- An hour after I used these my left breast had sharp pains, I PRAY it isn't an indicator of a blocked duct. FYI: I had no pains before using these.
I gave 3 stars because they do what they say, just not very comfortably. But if you have perky & petite breasts with long nipples, these may work really well for you.
