Getting the right nipple shield size is crucial for comfortable and effective pumping. Here's your step-by-step guide to finding your perfect fit.
What You'll Need
- A ruler or measuring tape (millimeters preferred) - or try our measuring card for easier sizing
- A mirror for better visibility
- Good lighting
Step-by-Step Measuring Instructions
1. Measure Your Nipple Diameter
Measure across the base of your nipple (not the areola) at its widest point. This should be done when your nipple is at rest, not erect.
2. Add 2-4mm for Comfort
Your nipple shield should be 2-4mm larger than your nipple diameter to allow for comfortable movement and prevent friction.

If you need any extras or accessories please take a look at all of our options here.
- What Plug can I use with my Pump? 5v 1amp is required to charge your pump for the warranty to be upheld.
- How often should I change the Wearable Valve and Diaphragm? These should be changed every 4 - 6 weeks to maintain optimum suction of the pump.
- How do I wash these? All parts except the motor should be washed in warm soapy water after each use and sterilized once a day.
- My pump is working but no milk coming out? You need to measure your nipple to make sure you have the right size shield in (these are found under your pump in the box). Only your nipple should be in the flange or shield if required.
- How do I measure my nipple? Measure the width of your nipple in mm and add 4mm to this total. This will allow 2mm either side of your nipple inside the shield so that it is most comfortable for you.
