Baby Products Reviews of SoftShells Breast Shell Soothers - Sore Nipples
Customer Review: Painful!
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sure if I gave these more of a chance, they may have worked well, but they just hurt too much for me to keep using them. I have slightly larger breasts (a D cup right now) and extra large nipples, so I am probably one of the few people who would have problems with these.The interior plastic part that goes around the areola pushed into mine too much and would honestly leave deep red marks in my areolas. They were just as painful, if not more so than the sore nipples that I was experiencing.
I may try them again since my nipples are starting to become sore again, but if the red rings start showing up again, I think they're going to go in the trash!!
Customer Review: They really do work - just need to be a little patient.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say, I just gave birth on the 20th and have had these on everyday since I left the hospital. They are the best. Yes when the nipples are cracked and hard and hurt alot the shells can be a little annoying. However for many woman, after you continously breastfeed your child, your breasts will become accustomed to their new job and ease up alittle. then you will be especially thankful for these shells. I've dealt with that small discomfort so that I wouldn't deal with the agony of my bra or shirts irritating my nipples. Trust me they are an investment worth making.Customer Review: Excellent for sore nipples!
Summary: 5 Stars
To be brief I will say these are SUPER for sore, cracked nipples! And I agree 100% with the other good reviewers. A suggestion though about the foam inserts...they do not hold a lot of milk and once your milk comes in you WILL leak if you are wearing these. What I did was take a nursing pad and fold it in half and put it in the bottom of the shell, where the insert would go. Depending on how much you leak, esp. at night, you might have to change them more frequently. You can use the disposables (Lansinoh makes great disposables) or the washable pads.Customer Review: Wish I had these for Baby #1 and Baby #2!
Summary: 5 Stars
A friend gave these to me when I had my third child. They were so helpful that I wanted to cry! I couldn't believe what a relief they were, and I would have spared myself a lot of pain if I had had them with my first and second babies.
Here's the scoop: You don't use these any longer than a couple of weeks, and they definitely don't stand in place of pads when you go out in public. They're just for home use (in my opinion). What do they do? They help sore nipples. They REALLY help sore nipples. What more could a nursing mom want?
Customer Review: I loved this product.
Summary: 5 Stars
These can definitely be a life saver during the first 1-2 weeks when you don't want compression on the nipple and you want them to air dry. I have small breasts so I could wear them in any bra, and I didn't have a huge leakage problem, so I changed the foam twice a day.
The only problem I had was that my skin broke out where the rubber rested against it. I think it got damp and wasn't allowed to breathe because it cleared up within 48 hours after I stopped using them. Bottom line: the relief was worth any minor inconvenience.
