## Description

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.

Review: Worth the money and trying if your nipples need a break! - Bought this as a recommendation from my LC and they really helped and saved my nips to heal when they were cracked or any type of soreness. The space they create between your bra/clothes/pads and your nipples is amazing and the relief they provide are everything you’re wanting when need that extra love healing in the area. They can catch some milk but I wouldn’t use them for that. I wear them mostly at night and with some pads. These were a saving Grace for Our breastfeeding journey in the beginning and even time to time I’ll use them. My Little one is 17mo and still BF. .

## Questions & Answers

**Q: With flat nipples do i use them with the breast pump?**
A: You wouldn’t need to if you are exclusively pumping bc this just helps errect the nipples for the baby to get a good latch.

**Q: What is the difference btw breastshells &breastshield? i asked my ob if i can use the shells before baby's arrival. but she said never heard of shells**
A: Breastshells are shell like objects that go over the nipple to help air the nipples out between feedings, helps heal bleeding/cracked nipples. They can help inverted/flat nipples pushing them out to help baby latch.Breastshields however are shields you put on the nipple while feeding baby, helps with sensitive nipples and latching among other things.Summary: shells are for in between feedings, shields are for during feeding.

**Q: For flat nipples will I have to wear this all the time between feedings or will it eventually correct my nipples so I don't have to wear them anymore?**
A: This product is designed to soothe sore nipples and protect from further irritation.  As every case is different it is difficult to say how long they would be worn.  As your situation progresses and you gain relief from this product you may find you will be wearing them less and less.

**Q: What is the difference between the TheraShells and the Soft Shells both made by Medela.  I can't tell by the descriptions.**
A: Medela SoftShells consist of both hard plastic (the outer, dome-shape that has holes in it) and a silicone-like "superior comfort with soft, flexible" backs. SoftShells come as two different packages: one for sore nipples (the one that looks like a skinnier "ring", but is referred to as the wider openining) and one for inverted or flat nipples (the one that looks thicker, is more material).  The dome-shaped part that makes contact with the bra is the same in both packages, and according to the instruction booklet, you can buy the backs of the other set to fit the one you purchase.  I'll list the Medela parts information for the SoftShells below (I have it out, so why not!?).  Not sure if the TheraShells come with them, but the SoftShells come with foam u-shaped pieces that can be placed in the bottom of the dome to soak up any spilled milk.SoftShells Domes (each) 810.0234Sore Nipple Backs (each)  820.0022Inverted Nipple Backs (each). 820.0021Foam Inserts (4 per package). 850.7002Inverted Nipple Kit is 80220, 80220S (sterile) US, or 20220 in Canada.Sore Nipple Kit is 80210 and 80210S (sterile) US, or 20210 in Canada.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Helpful, but not perfect
*by V***T on January 5, 2015*

I found that the more narrow ring of the two provided actually caused more discomfort than it fixed. I wore these shells to protect blistered, painful nipples from friction against clothing, and when I wore the more narrow rings under a bra they pushed so hard into the breast that the pain spread from my nipple to other parts of the breast. They left an angry red line on the breast when they were removed. The wider rings (that I believe are meant to help with inverted nipples) were a little more comfortable for me. As other reviewers have mentioned, the cups have a tendency to collect leaking milk, although the seal is not tight, so milk can still leak under the edge of the rings. I found I was MORE likely to wake with a wet shirt if I wore these at night...they seemed to somehow stimulate a letdown, because I never woke up soaked otherwise. I have, however, poured the milk that collects on one side while I'm nursing on the other directly into the mouth of my baby through the vent holes. He seems to find that a fascinating milk delivery system.
