Achieve a more comfortable and efficient pumping experience with our Generic Silicone Flange Insert (21mm), designed to be used inside standard 24mm hard breast pump flanges. This soft, flexible insert helps reduce nipple trauma and improve milk flow by ensuring the right fit for your breast anatomy.
Why Flange Size Matters
Using the correct flange size is essential for:
Maximising milk output
Preventing pain and nipple damage
Reducing blocked ducts and mastitis
Maintaining long-term breast health during pumping
An incorrect flange size may cause friction, poor suction, or reduce milk flow, leaving you uncomfortable and frustrated.
How to Measure Your Nipple Size
To determine your correct flange insert size, measure your nipple diameter (not including the areola) after a pumping session or when your nipple is at its largest.
Use a ruler or nipple measuring tool to measure the diameter in millimetres (mm).
Choose a flange 2–3mm larger than your nipple measurement for optimal comfort and function.
