5.0 out of 5 stars They are called "Large...", November 24, 2009

Don't be fooled- I don't know why Medela sends out the 24mm size shield with their pumps. As I have talked to many women and numerous lactation consultants, it turns out that 24mm is actually "small" and that most women will need the 27mm. I don't have large nipples by any means, but pumping with the 24mm shields left me bleeding within days because I had no idea it was the shields that caused the problem. I noticed the difference immediately after using this larger size- pumping is much more comfortable, it's faster, and I get a better yield. If you have any discomfort with your pump, try changing the shield size- you might be amazed! A lactation consultant told me to try them and at first I was hesitant- "large" for nipple shields? Think of the 27mm as standard or medium and realize that there are so many 24mm on store shelves because NO ONE BUYS THEM.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good for more milk, September 3, 2007

I did not believe myself to have large nipples, but I was frustrated at how little milk I was getting with the standard size breastshield, even with a hospital-grade pump (the Symphony). A lactation consultant suggested I try a larger breastshield. Indeed, these bring a little more breast into the cylinder which has resulted in slightly more milk being expressed. I also tried the SoftFit, which didn't do a thing for me. These are worth a try even if you don't think you have "large" nipples.

5.0 out of 5 stars Much more comfortable than the standard ones, September 10, 2007

When I was using the standard size breastshields that came with the breast pump, my breasts were getting sore. I thought that was just how it was supposed to be. Then a nurse told me to try a larger size and I got these. Now my breasts no longer hurt at all when pumping and my nipples don't get stuck inside. The only thing that is strange to me is that the shape of the cone part seems different that the standard, so it feels a bit large, even though the nipple part fits fine.
