About this item:
Sore nipples, engorgement, and flat or inverted nipples can be common challenges that breast milk feeding mothers face, making nursing and/or pumping particularly difficult and cumbersome. Medela believes that moms should have help overcoming these roadblocks to successful breast milk feeding, which is why we feature a variety of breast shells to specifically address these challenges, provide some much-needed relief between feedings, and help gently and gradually draw out flat or inverted nipples. Medela TheraShells provide a 2-in-1 economical solution through a uniquely innovative design that alleviates both nipple soreness and flat or inverted nipples. What’s Included: (2) Medela TheraShells, (2) shell backs for flat and/or inverted nipples; (2) shell backs for nipple soreness and/or engorgement; (1) Instruction Manual These breast shells’ large opening backs help soothe sore nipples and protect from further irritation, while the small opening backs address flat and inverted nipples. Made without BPA and featuring a low-profile design for discretion under clothing, Medela TheraShells were made to help moms breastfeed – or continue to breastfeed – for as long as they choose*. *If soreness develops, persists, or becomes severe, contact your healthcare professional or lactation specialist.

5.0 out of 5 stars Allowed me to continue exclusively pumping
I've been having a hard time exclusively pumping and it's tearing my nipples and areolas apart. I've been trying to find the correct flanges that will fit me correctly. After pumping, it is so painful to put on my bra or even have my shirt touching my nipples. These shells have helped me continue my pumping journey and I highly recommend them to anyone who has sore nipples from nursing or pumping. I do wear them with a bra that is a cup size bigger than what I am due to the shape of these shells and they work great. I have spent tons of money trying to find relief from my discomfort and these things are the only things that have given me some relief.
5.0 out of 5 stars Cannot Live WithOUT these!
My baby has a high arched palate and it basically feels like I'm being dragged on the cement on my nipples... THIS is a literal life-saver for the nips. If I didn't have a way to give them a break from being rubbed on my shirt/sensitivity, I'm not sure Id still be BF'ing. I just ordered two more sets because I never not want to be without them. They saved our BF life!On another note - they do help increase milk production too - because they inevitably create some nipple stim, so that's a plus if you're low on supply. AND they help if you have shortened or perhaps even flattened nipples.
4.0 out of 5 stars Weird shape, incredibly useful
I’m a first time breastfeeding mom. My nipples have been so sore from nursing and pumping around the clock. I originally purchased some off-brand silverettes but I’m allergic to most metals and found the silverettes annoying and sweaty, which is not how I wanted my nipples to feel. Using these not only was I able ti protect my nipples from rubbing against the inside of my bra, but I was also allowing them to breathe which helps healing. These do give your breast a weird shape, but they relieved so much pain that I didn’t even care! And they collect a bit of milk as well. Maybe .25oz at most?
1.0 out of 5 stars A Missed Opportunity for Nipple Care!
The Overview:I turned to Medela TheraShells in hopes of relief from nipple irritation and a rash that developed after a few months of breastfeeding, exacerbated by my history of eczema. Unfortunately, these breast shells fell short in both comfort and functionality.The Good:Conceptually Useful: The idea behind these shells, to allow nipples to air out and avoid contact with clothing, is sound. My lactation specialist recommended them for this purpose.The Not-So-Good:Size Mismatch: The biggest issue was the size. My nipples did not fit within the shell's space, leading to direct contact with the plastic, which only worsened the irritation instead of alleviating it. The nipple pressing against the plastic and sliding around was counterproductive.Uncomfortable and Bulky: The assembly is quite thick, resembling a doughnut, making it very noticeable under clothing. When worn with a bra, it looked strange and was far from practical for daily wear, detracting from the comfort and discreetness one would expect from such a product.Ineffective for My Needs: Instead of helping, these shells made my rash worse, leading me to discard them after a short trial.Overall:While the concept of TheraShells is appealing for those needing nipple protection or healing, in my experience, they were not only ineffective but actually detrimental. The size was too small for comfort, and the design was not conducive to everyday use, particularly for someone with sensitive skin or existing skin conditions like eczema.Pros:Intended to promote healing by allowing air circulationCons:Too small for many nipple sizes, leading to further irritationBulky and impractical design under clothingWorsened my existing skin condition instead of improving itConclusion:For someone with sensitive skin or specific issues like mine, I would caution against using these Medela TheraShells. They might work for some, but for me, they were a letdown, exacerbating rather than soothing my condition. I ended up seeking alternative methods to manage my nipple health during breastfeeding.
3.0 out of 5 stars Functional but leaky!
As far as providing relief to sore nipples and keeping flat nipples everted, I give it 5 stars. When it comes to the functionality though, I give it 3. I guess they do exactly what they are supposed to--prevent engorgement. But what you end up with is milk evrywhere, no matter which ring you are using. When you try to remove them, no matter how careful you are, milk spills out the vent holes and gets everywhere. I'm not knocking Medela overall, though. Love the company and their products overall. The Harmony hand pump is awesome!
5.0 out of 5 stars Best thing for sore nipples
I was given these in the hospital and I am grateful for them. When I have sore nipples these work amazing. They let them air out so they aren't rubbing against your shirt or bra. They do make you look a little bulky but it is well worth it. They also let baby latch on better when you are sore or engorged. Would definitely recommend.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great for nipple pain from breastfeeding or pumping! I wish I discovered these sooner!
I was given a set of these from a lactation consultant a few weeks into my breastfeeding journey for my twins. I was struggling with extreme nipple pain and sensitivity and I was on the verge of quitting breastfeeding and pumping. These saved me! I wish I had discovered them sooner. I loved them so much that I bought a second set so that I always had a clean pair when I needed them. I put these in for a few minutes after pumping to help my nipples transition from pumping to being touched by my bra/clothes. I have accidentally fallen asleep with them in and I do not recommend that because they leave a mark and made my nipples feel itchy plus when pressure is applied and you are engorged you may leak. While I love them I will say I think they look ridiculous because they give you this strange puffy nipple appearance so I don't wear them out of the house. I'm an exclusive pumper now and I don't feel the need to use these as often, but I still will use them after pumping if I have any pain or sensitivity.
No me sirvieron mucho
Son Justo como se muestran, de excelente calidad. Pero la verdad no me sirvieron mucho para mis actividades. Y si se junta algo de leche , ésta termina derramándose toda por el movimiento
No lo recomiendo para NADA!
Material muy duro, no es nada discreto, es literal del tamaño del pezon, por lo tanto hace q se vea muy picudo, por lo q solo se puede usar con ropa muy holgada o muchas capaz de ropa, ademas llega a lastimar por el material duro y deja el pezon como en forma cónico por la presión, y siento q por la misma presión hace q salga leche! Si protege pero no es nada discreto, no se puede usar en la calle así q no cumple con su función!
