Proper flange sizing is critical for comfort and effective milk expression. An incorrect size can lead to discomfort, nipple damage, and reduced milk output. The 19mm insert is designed for mothers whose nipple diameter requires this specific size.

How to Determine Your Nipple Size:

1. Step 1: Measure Your Nipple Base: After a pumping session, use a ruler or measuring tape to measure the diameter of your nipple at its base (where it meets the areola) in millimeters. Do not include the areola in this measurement.
2. Step 2: Select Flange Size: Choose a flange or insert size that is 1-3mm larger than your measured nipple diameter. For example, if your nipple measures 17mm, a 19mm insert would be appropriate.
