haakaa Ladybug Milk Collector 1.4oz/40ml 2pcs – Wearable Nursing Cups | Soft Breast Shells | Breastmilk Saver |Portable Letdown Catcher for Pumping On The Go Breastfeeding Moms, Protects Sore Nipples

Highly recommend
After using it for a few weeks, I highly recommend this product. It has some suction when installed. This suction slightly assists in “letdown” when the breast is full and you’re feeding the baby on one side. I will advise that it may feel uncomfortable (as a first-time mom) and it is ok. Also, get a nursing brassiere that will accommodate it, if you want to increase mobility and keep it on. It gets a bit heavy as it fills with milk (and may fall off), so you may need to pull it off, empty it into your collecting container and continue with it. I am satisfied with the item.

Does the job but is uncomfortable and awkwardly shaped
Wanted to love those, but didn’t. The outer edges cut into my skin and are uncomfortable, and the ladybug shape and size makes it impossible to wear this under a top and leave the house, as it looks ridiculous. Also hard to sleep in due to the size/shape. I also purchased the Medela version which I prefer and get a lot more use out of, as the shells are much more comfortable and discreet under clothing, plus easy to sleep in.

Si seulement ils tenaient
J’ai une petite poitrine à la base, et pour vrai ça aurait été un produit parfait s’ils tenaient en place. Le produit en soit est excellent, mais à cause de la forme de ma poitrine ils tombaient tout le temps

Less comfortable than the bigger size
I have the bigger size and liked it so I bought two more in case it was dirty or to wear. Because they’re smaller they’re harder (less soft silicon) so they’re less comfortable. I also wouldn’t wear them around in public because they stick out a lot and would be really noticeable. They’re fine as backups for me around the house though.

Get these! Comfortable and easy to use. I’ve had them for years and still use them

I like the concept of being able to use these and collect the let down while nursing. They do stick out a bit so I wouldn’t wear these while out and about but they work fine at home. I’ve been able to collect a 2-3 bottle with these and as a just enough producer that’s a big win.

Below is a review of 4 options for catching milk and sore nipple protection to hopefully help another momma get the right product the first time rather than having to try and return a bunch of products while taking care of a new baby like I did.haakaa Ladybug- small nipple hole (painful on the areola) silicone is more rigid, I’m assuming to be able to suction but it’s just not conducive for healing sore nipples, uncomfortable to sleep in. Noticeable under bra. If looking for gentle suction for letdown but something baby can’t kick off, the ElvieCurve is amazing but unfortunately expensive.Medela TheraShells- look absolutely ridiculous, only about 2in in diameter so on any size breast these are going to be noticeable and weird looking. The inverted/flat nipple back has the smallest nipple opening that I can’t imagine it would fit anyones nipples comfortably and would further cause damage to the sore Areola. The sore nipple back is comfortable but I just felt silly wearing them because of how they looked. These may catch leaks but not much and they have vent holes at the top so I imagine they will leak if wearing them to bed. No suction.Phillips Avent- these come with shells with and without air vents depending on whether you want to use them for collecting milk or for sore nipples. I really thought out of the 4 these were going to be my favorite because of the shape of the silicone cushion but these were still painful on my areola. They also look unnatural under a bra and for bigger chested women are definitely going to be noticeable.Elvie Catch- a higher price point but definitely worth it. Out of the 4 options I tried, these were my favorite. Instantly comfortable, discreet under a bra, comfortable enough to sleep in. The silicone piece that touches the breast is soft and flexible and not rigid like the Haaka lady bugs and I feel will actually allow my nipples to heal. The collection container is small but at this point I care less about collecting and more about protecting my nipples from sticking to nipple pads. If you have long nipples, these may not work for you because of the flatter collection chamber, your nipples will touch the hard plastic, defeating the sore nipple purpose. But there’s about 3/4in depth so most nipples will fit fine. Taking apart and putting these back together is kind of a pain but doable. No suction like the haaka but I’m fine with that as my supply is now more regulated and engorgement isn’t such a huge problem. (If engorged and have sore nipples I highly recommend the Elvie Curve that has gentle suction and can’t be kicked off by baby as you’re nursing the other side. These are less comfy to sleep in but still doable and they have a large collection chamber.)
