So, I found out the hard way that the flanges (the piece of the pump that looks like a funnel or horn) that come with the breast pumps do not fit most women! Most women need a size large flange, but the pumps come with a medium. I used the mediums for a month with no problem, but then they started feeling like they were pinching me! They hurt so badly; I really couldn’t stand it! It was killing me, so I asked my lactation consultant about it, and she informed me about the sizing issues. I went out and bought the larges, and they fit SO much better. Now I’m normally a B cup, and have gone up to a C cup since the pregnancy, so take that into consideration when you decide on your size. If you were a pre-pregnancy C cup, you may need extra large flanges.
