Baby Products Reviews of SoftShells Breast Shell Soothers - Sore Nipples
Customer Review: Lysie's mom
Summary: 5 Stars
These shells are a must have for new moms! The hospital provided the hard shells for me and they were OK until my milk came in. Once my breasts swelled with the new milk the hard shells hurt so much I couldn't use them. The soft ones were so comfortable! I got blisters the first day after my daughter was born (no problems with latching on, the little "sucker" just had a very strong suck!) and couldn't stand anything to touch my nipples. I think these shells are one of the main reasons I continued to nurse after the first few days.Customer Review: Wonderful for Soreness or Sensitivity
Summary: 5 Stars
The Soft Shells are fantastic - even better than the medela thera shells which are smaller and have hard backs. The soft shells have a soft rubber backing that contours to your body - much more comfortable. I have found that I use them almost every day for sensitivity - even when there is no soreness. I highly recommend this product for women who are breastfeeding or even just pumping (I'm just pumping). Get two pairs so that you can wear the other pair when you are washing and sterilizing the first.Customer Review: wonderful for soreness in beginning!
Summary: 5 Stars
I highly recommend purchasing these shells even before the baby is born...if you plan on breastfeeding. I was very sore in the first few weeks. The shells allowed me to apply lanolin cream on my nipples and let them air out and heal in between feedings. I did only use them until my nipples were no longer sore which mentioned before was only a few weeks. But they got me through those weeks when I don't know if I'd have made it otherwise! They were a wonderful product for me!Customer Review: Enh.
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these because they come with foam inserts to help collect leakage. I'm a 38 DD and use the large flange for my medela pump, so I too found the sharp edge that contacts the breast was cutting into my sore areola/nipple. The ameda shells had a round edge and were much more comfortable, although leakage city! My sore nipples got nearly instantly better using my brest friend (great proper latch!), and treatment for a mild yeast infection. Hope this helps.Customer Review: Life saver for sore nipples
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great product for sore nipples. It also helped with my flattened nipples when my milk first came in and I was experiencing engorgement. The only downfall is that if you are a heavy leaker (as I am) the inserts will not absorb all the milk and will spill as soon as you bend over. I had to stop using them because of this. But the short amount of time I was able to use them allowed my nipples to heal, and I don't really need them anymore.
