Overview
Highlights
- Allows nipples to air dry
- Painful nipples are protected
- Looks natural under clothes
Description
Breastfeeding can cause your nipples to become sensitive, especially in the first few weeks. Medela SoftShells act like a shield to protect your nipples from further irritation, like rubbing against clothing.
Nipples are cupped in a silicone shell, touched only by the surrounding air. Holes in the shell allow for air circulation and keep nipples dry even when leaking breast milk.
Not only does this make you more comfortable, but it also helps ward off thrush. Milk leaks are caught by the foam insert in the lower half of the shell.
What we about it

Saved me during the first week of sore nipples and made it possible for me to continue breastfeeding.

Life saver!
These are amazing! Not only does it protect my tender nipples, but collecting the let down milk is an amazing feature! Soft pads just absorb and stick to nipples, wasting all that milk! This is my 3rd child and I wish I had discovered them sooner!

Saved my tender nipples!
I received these in the hospital when I first started breastfeeding. My nipples were so tender, so it hurt to wear anything or for anything to touch my nipples. These saved my nipples from a lot of pain! And they caught milk/colostrum that leaked. I highly recommend!! You do have to be careful not to bend over or you spill the milk that is caught.
