Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars They get the job done, April 29, 2002

By

This review is from: Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Shells (Baby Product)

I use these in the morning with the first feeding because I leak on whatever side my daughter is not nursing from. I use them more so the milk doesn't go to waste than to protect my clothing. If I used them for protection of clothing or for sore nipples I would not have rated them as high as I did. First, they are not made for really large breasts. They set nicely over the nipple, but certainly do not cover much more than the areola area. If I were to wear these out, my breasts would look like large mushrooms. They are nice in the privacy of my own home, though. The shell that fits on the breast is comfortable. It is easy to clean and soft. I would recommend these for the use of collecting leaking milk while pumping and feeding only. I would not recommend these to wear out when you are going to miss a feeding and know you will leak. Wear disposable pads. Also, I wouldn't recommend them for the sore nipple problem either if you are large breasted.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for mothers who pump, November 15, 2001

This review is from: Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Shells (Baby Product)

With three and five year old children at home, I found it difficult to let my breasts air out for any period of time. Worn inside my bra, the ventilated breast shells allowed me to keep my nipples dry and expedited the healing process. Now that I am back to work full time and breastfeeding exclusively, the milk savers have been a tremendous help. I place one on the opposite breast that I am pumping and it collects the milk that leaks out - usually about an ounce or two. The milk that is collected allows me to cut dowm on my pumping time - and prevents any leakage through the breast pad. I highly recommend this product along with the entite Avent line to all mothers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Work "Avent", July 29, 2002

When I started breastfeeding besides the pain it was the leaking which I couldn't control. I remember I would hold a bottle to collect the milk, till one day I dropped it all on the floor. So I stopped doing that. One day I went to Babies R Us and saw the Avent shells, I bought it no questions asked and I was so happy that I wished someone had told me about this great product. It's great while I'm nursing and pumping. This product saved me on disposable pads. I have been using it for 4 months and till this day I'm can't be without it. One suggestion make sure you tightly secure the shell and depending how much you leak check so shell won't get full.
