Best Breast Shells of 2025

"I find these to be a game changer! Instead of leaking into my clothes or using scratchy disposable pads, I can comfortably collect my milk without any extra effort. In just a couple of weeks, I’m saving an extra ounce every time I use them!"

"As a first-time mom, I’ve tried numerous milk collectors, but these are the best I’ve encountered. They protect my sore nipples while being super affordable. They avoid all the issues I've faced with other products, and I can't recommend them enough!"

"These are absolutely amazing for breastfeeding! They catch milk easily on the opposite side while nursing, and their shape fits perfectly without being in the way. I’m thrilled with how much I can collect!"

"As a first-time breastfeeding mom, my nipples were so sore from nursing and pumping around the clock. I initially tried some off-brand silverettes, but my metal allergy made them uncomfortable. Using these shells not only protected my nipples from rubbing against my bra but also allowed them to breathe, aiding in healing. They do alter the shape of my breast, but the relief from pain was worth it! Plus, they collect a bit of milk, about .25oz at most."

"I've been having a tough time with exclusive pumping, and it's been really damaging to my nipples and areolas. Finding the right flanges has been a challenge. These shells have made a significant difference in my pumping journey. I recommend them to anyone experiencing sore nipples from nursing or pumping. I wear them with a bra that’s a cup size larger, and they work wonderfully."

"I was recommended these by a lactation specialist, but unfortunately, they didn’t help with my sore breasts. I found them to be uncomfortable and they caused me to leak more often. Under clothes, they created a very noticeable appearance, which wasn't appealing at all. They seemed to pull my nipple out, which might be beneficial for flat nipples, but overall, they just didn’t work for me."

"I love this product; it helps so much while nursing or pumping! I would definitely buy another pair."

"After trying these shells, I’m not a huge fan. They do their job, but they’re not the most comfortable and can deform my nipple after wearing."

"Using these shells was a lifesaver for my sore and cracked nipples. I was amazed at how much milk I could save instead of letting it go to waste. However, I can’t nap with them because they leaked when I lay on my side."

"I rarely leave reviews, but I have to rave about these! I’m allergic to silverettes and needed protection for my nipples. Disposable and reusable pads soaked up my nipple cream and irritated my skin. These shells allowed me to go 7 hours without pumping pain. The relief was astounding! My nipple skin felt 10 times more moist, and the deep cracks looked less severe. This was the best purchase for my breastfeeding journey!"

"As a first-time mom exclusively pumping, I was unprepared for the soreness and sensitivity. These shells provided significant comfort, allowing for airflow and collecting leaks. However, they added a noticeable bump under clothing, so I only wore them at home. They were a lifesaver during the first few weeks, but may not suit those with longer nipples."

"After my daughter was born, I experienced intense pain from exclusively pumping. I found these shells and was hesitant due to the price, but they were worth every penny! I used them at night to let my nipples breathe and coupled them with gel pads during the day. Though they created a noticeable bulge and could be uncomfortable when my breasts were full, they allowed my nipples to heal completely."

"As a mother of three, I've experienced breastfeeding challenges before, but this time has been particularly tough. I've dealt with constant discomfort from friction and open sores on my nipples. I heard about these shells and decided to give them a try. They have been a lifesaver! They let my nipples heal while also catching the extra milk that would have gone to waste. I wish I had discovered these sooner!"

"I was a bit skeptical about these, thinking they wouldn’t perform as well as the more expensive brands. I’m so glad I took the chance! They work just fine, and I love that they come with nipple shields. I haven’t had any spills while sleeping or moving, and the flat edge design is perfect for lying down. Just be mindful when bending over!"

"I found these to be quite flimsy and they lacked suction. As someone who produces a lot of milk, I expected better performance. I could barely catch a few drops, which was disappointing. For outings, I prefer traditional nursing pads over these."

"After having my first daughter, these worked miracles for collecting excess milk. I was initially worried they would be cheap and uncomfortable, but they proved me wrong. I could wear a comfy bra to bed and they stayed in place all night, collecting an additional 2-3 ounces while I pumped. No leaks at all!"

"I absolutely love these! I buy them for all my pregnant friends. They are easy to use, affordable, and simple to clean. I keep multiple sets so I don’t have to wash them constantly, and they work perfectly whenever I breast-feed."

"I had some leaking issues occasionally, but when I contacted customer service, they were incredibly responsive and sent me a replacement right away. They even followed up to ensure everything was going well. While I experienced some leaks, these shells helped me collect a whole ounce at times, and the nipple balm they offer is a lifesaver for healing!"

“I absolutely love these milk savers! No more wasted milk and my nipples are protected from chafing. They're super comfortable and easy to empty when full. I even forget I have them on sometimes. I wish I had these during my previous pregnancies!”

“These are a game changer for me! They catch my let down while I breastfeed, and they're so easy to clean. I've saved so much milk. The price is much better than the big brands, and they fit perfectly in my nursing bra.”

“I really wanted these to work for me. They are made from good quality material, but I find them a bit tricky to clean without spilling milk. Overall, they do the job, just need to be careful when removing them.”

"I was on the fence about this product, but I'm so glad I decided to purchase it! It has done an amazing job at catching my letdown, and I've built quite a freezer stash in just two weeks. I highly recommend it!"

"I've had these for years and still use them as they are comfortable and easy to use. They truly make my breastfeeding experience much easier!"

"The Haakaa ladybug is a fantastic invention! I'm 6 weeks postpartum and love how it helps me gather up to 5 oz total in a day without affecting my supply. It’s painless and super easy to use!"

"I’ve recently started using the Momcozy Breast Milk Collector, and I’m really impressed! These little gems have made a big difference in my breastfeeding journey. They fit comfortably, collect milk without spilling, and are discreet enough to wear under my clothes. I love that they are reusable and eco-friendly! Highly recommend for any breastfeeding mom!"

"I absolutely love this product! Having two milk catchers is wonderful while nursing my second child. I can wear one while feeding and catch any let-down milk on the other side. If one gets dirty, I can simply use the other one! They are fantastic!"

"I got this milk collector to use while nursing, and I was pleasantly surprised to get almost an extra ounce of milk! They’re soft and fit right in my bra. Super easy to clean and pour the milk into a bottle. Just a little tricky at first to get the suction right, but it’s worth it!"

“I find these cups very comfortable and easy to use. They catch the let-down perfectly while I breastfeed my son, providing just the right amount of coverage without looking too bulky.”

“I purchased these for my first child and they were a game-changer! I even recommended them to my sister-in-law, who appreciates how well they protect against leaks while allowing her nipples to breathe.”

“While these cups are simple and inexpensive, I prefer my Elvie collector cups. The central hole makes it tricky to avoid spills, especially if I lean over. Still, they do the job for small amounts of milk.”
