Measuring Card – For the Perfect Pumping Experience
The size of the flange is very important for comfortable and efficient pumping. Some mums experience uncomfortable pumping, that may cause nipple and/or areola swelling. Incorrect flange sizes can also affect how much milk can be expressed or how long it takes to express milk. The standard 24mm size of most breast pump flanges is often too large for many women.
- It is easy to use this flange measuring card. We advise measuring both nipples, as they may be different sizes. The best time to measure is an unswollen nipple, 1-2 hours after pumping or breastfeeding.
- Place the nipple in the smallest circle that can comfortably fit. It may help to use a phone or mirror.
- Choose an insert size 1-2mm bigger than the snug fit of your nipple in the measurer. Eg if your nipple measures 16mm, choose the 17mm insert.
- Made of food-grade silicone.
Or you can use the tape measure.
- Stimulate your nipple to make it perk up.
- Hold the tape measure at a perpendicular angle and line the 0 scale with your nipple base at the same horizontal l line, also with the measure edge meet your areola.
- Get the millimeters number between the nipple base and the nipple top, and the size measuring is done. ( as seen in the second photo below)
