Baby Products Reviews of SoftShells Breast Shell Soothers - Sore Nipples
Customer Review: nice product
Summary: 5 Stars
Wow - what a difference!!! I nursed my first child for 21 months and sure could have used these. I just wish I had bought the large ones. Be careful about wearing them while engorged. It gets pretty scary when your breasts take on the shape of the shell. I am also using a new nipple cream that my Dr. prescribed. Don't be fooled though - there is still going to be some pain for most women. Just know it is the best thing for your baby.Customer Review: Relief for sore nipples!
Summary: 4 Stars
I couldn't stand the feel of my nipples resting against my bra or shirt, so these were a savior. They have their own problems though... just have to weigh the pros and cons. The breathing holes allow for milk to leak through when I forget and bend over. Remember that the opposite breast will let down when you start feeding, and the sponges do not soak up all of my milk. Also, they irritate my aereolas.Customer Review: Great product!
Summary: 5 Stars
If I didn't have these I would have quit nursing weeks ago! I was so sore the first 4 weeks, I almost quit...these are a must-have if you are sore. They are very comfortable and look pretty natural through clothing. They do cause a little leaking, but just change the foam inserts regularly, or wear a breast pad over them. They are easily worth the $15, if not much more!Customer Review: Helpful product
Summary: 4 Stars
These are great for preventing your sore nipples from touching either your bra or a nursing pad. The only drawback for me was that they seemed to stimulate letdown, and the absorbant pads weren't enough to soak up the amount of milk released with letdown. However, the relief I was able to get from wearing them, if only for a few hours a day was worthwhile.Customer Review: Indeed relieves sore nipples
Summary: 4 Stars
I had sore, cracked nipples from excessive pumping, but I found instant relief once I used these. However if you have heavy flow, you'll find that the inserts are not absorbant enough and you will leak through the breastshell holes when you bend over. I compensate for this by inserting a nursing pad between the breastshell and my bra.
