... do they work?
I've just started using it on one side as it's cracked, but they're wierd.
Are they just for using during feeding? or to wear inbetween?

Me too. Hurts for a while but gets better. Lots of air drying after feeds with breast milk on the nipple. It does work, takes a bit of time, but it does.

I only use them temporarily fro feeding . . it helepd draw the bnipples out and enabled ds to latch on more easily as he was sleepy. Agree you may need help to get positioning and latch more comfortable as they are not recommended for long term use as the supply isn't stimulated as easily.
