Nipples Shells?

2 replies

user278173 · 22/12/2016 17:43

Midwife has recommended getting nipple "shells" (she was v specific about the word shells) to shape flatter nipples. I can only find nipple shields for collecting milk and stopping rubbing mine that mention shaping nipples.

Can anybody help?

They are indeed different! There are loads of brands, here's one: (try looking for breast shells rather than nipple shells :)

Try using the search term nipple formers. These are for women with flat or inverted nipples to help with breastfeeding. Most brands have something along these lines.
