Great product
I don’t often give reviews on products however these have been the best purchase I’ve made for breastfeeding. I’d tried several types of reusable/non reusable pads and was finding I had to replace them after every feed due to being soaked through however now I collect that milk instead! Definitely recommend! Comfortable to wear and easy to clean.

Great for let down
I only have a single pump and I was finding that every time I pumped my other boob would just leak all over me and I literally wanted to cry over the spilt milk!! Used these last night for the first time and they are really comfortable and caught a good 10ml of milk from each side. I’m not sure what the max capacity they would be able to hold is though, but if you only have a smallish amount of let down they are great!

Handy for the early days
I found these really helpful for the early weeks of breastfeeding, when you’re engorged or very leaky. Would just pop in on one side while feeding from the other to catch let down - easy. They did leave marks on me when I was really engorged but that wasn’t surprising to be honest, and it didn’t cause me any problems. Overall great for catching letdowns to top up your stash (or to catch to add to baths etc which is what I did mostly actually)

Life saver, well milk saver anyway
This product has saved me so much washing over the past few weeks. My daughter is now 6 weeks old and from the point my milk came in I have been lucky enough to produce litres of the stuff. This did, however, mean that every time I fed her from one breast, the other leaked milk everywhere. Not only was I soaked after 5 minutes but so was my daughter. It was extremely frustrating. Breast pads were definitely not enough to keep us dry. A friend mentioned that you could buy shells to catch the milk so after a quick Amazon search I found these. I chose them because I thought they looked more comfortable than the others. They have been great. They are comfortable to wear during a feed, I did try wearing them for day to day activities once and found I looked like a breast feeding Lara Croft, huge and pointy. They have captured all my spare milk which I can then save (if I have sterilised the shells which I have done in a Closer To Nature steam steriliser) or just throw away and as long as you make sure the hole is the right way up then they haven't leaked, even when I've leant over to change her nappy and forgotten it was there.I would definitely recommend this product if you are having problems leaking vast quantities of milk during a feed. I think they may get a little uncomfortable if you tried wearing them for long periods of time; they have left rings round my nipples occasionally, but for half an hour or so they are fine.

Good if you have a lower supply but don’t lean forward!
I had a preemie in NICU so you end up with an oversupply as you pump and baby isn’t able to feed yet. I was lucky enough to produce a lot of milk, but this meant if I didn’t frequently pump I was losing a lot in my bra. These were my first set of shells. They are really good, exactly as they look/described. The only downside to these is the volume and lack of stopper. I was leaking so much between pumps that I was almost filling these, so they’re better if you leak less. Also, I leaned forward quite a few times completely forgetting I had them in, spilling about 40ml of milk all over my clothes in the hospital! I then bought some haakaa ones with a stopper that hold more volume and also have suction. I’ve rated these 1 for suction as they don’t have any (I wouldn’t expect them to as they are plastic). These just collect any milk that is coming out anyway. Overall a really good product, but definitely suited more to someone who leaks less and won’t forget that they’re in! Very easy to clean and use, you literally just pop the silicone ring on and off. Just make sure it’s on properly otherwise you’ll leak.

My little fish tanks
I love these they are so easy to dismantle and put back together and so easy to collect any milk whether your feeding or pumping just don’t forget you have them in and bend over as you will get wet!! 😂 small little opening at the top to pour into containers but they fit well and are comfy

Best product ever bought!
Hands down this has been a life saver for me, I am currently breastfeeding my daughter and I have a huge oversupply and was constantly leaking and flooding however this product has saved me the embarrassment of being soaked constantly. I would 100% recommend this product! I have managed to save so much milk and store it thanks to this product as well. No more waste! Very comfortable too, I actually forget I have it in my bra sometimes and end up tipping over and milk coming out (but that is my fault not the products😂) I do have to remember to take it out before bending over with them in but it is so easy to forget they are there! Quick, easy and efficient :) extremely pleased!

You must buy these they are excellent and recommended by my HV
These i cannot recommend highly enough!! i had so much milk after my little one was born that every time i gave him a feed i was soaked through on the other side, even through the breast pads and it was my HV that noticed and said i should get these collection cups as anything i could save early on would be better milk and i could build up a freezer storage with out having to pump as much. Well i have only used the pump once because he slept through a feed and i thought i was going to explode at 3 oclock in the morning ha ha And he is now 2 months old and i have a full drawer in my freezer of breast milk that i was able to save using these cups - how brilliant is that!!! I have recommended these and i have convinced a friend of mine to breast feed and she has just asked me where i got these cups and i sent her the link to this page because she couldn't believe how good they were and how much milk i have stored for 'a night out' or just a night in and a good sleep ha ha So in my opinion these are like gold and more HV and midwives should recommend them as i would have lost all that milk to breast pads and wet tops other wise.
