Additionally, sensitive nipples can become sore during breastfeeding. In these cases, the MAM nursing shields are helpful. They come in a convenient double pack, in size M, along with a sterilizable storage box. Thanks to the extra soft MAM SkinSoft surface, the nursing shield feels very soft and natural in the baby's mouth and is well accepted by 93% of babies. In a recent product test, a midwife particularly praised the textured tip of the shields, as it helps babies hold the shield better in their mouths. This is especially beneficial for babies with weak sucking reflexes. She adds that the oval, flat shape allows for a natural, wide mouth opening, supporting babies in the process.

7. Medela PersonalFit Flex, 2 chest tubes size L (27mm)
The PersonalFit Flex breast shield in size XL from Medela is an innovative breast shield that offers you even more flexibility, comfort, and individuality. Pumping becomes not only more pleasant but also more efficient and time-saving.
The breast shield features a 105° angle instead of the usual 90° angle and has a soft, flexible rim. Various clinical studies have demonstrated that the 105° angle provides an optimal contact surface with the breast. The pressure on the milk ducts is reduced, which supports the natural milk flow. Additionally, the breast shield is oval-shaped and can rotate 360° for personalized adjustment.
The soft, flexible rim is particularly comfortable on the skin and fits wonderfully. This creates an improved vacuum during pumping. Thanks to the flat base, there are no edges that cut into the skin or leave marks. The PersonalFit Flex breast shields are compatible with Medela's Swing Flex, Swing Maxi Flex, and Freestyle Flex breast pumps.
You can find the right breast shield size by measuring the diameter of your nipple. The size XL has a tunnel diameter of 30 mm and fits nipples with a diameter of up to 26 mm. Each pack contains 2 PersonalFit Flex breast shields.
- Material: Polypropylene, thermoplastic elastomer

8. Fraupow Silver hat size 2
Pamper your sore nipples with the protective environment of pure silver breast cups. Why silver? Silver is a natural material that can benefit the skin in its purest form. Studies and years of use have shown that silver has antibacterial properties and creates a healing environment for sore skin. Wearing silver breast cups on nipples that have been strained by breastfeeding can soothe the skin and provide relief.
Pure 999 silver: These breast cups are made from 999 silver, meaning they are composed of 99.9% silver and contain no nickel or other metals. Shaped to protect your nipple: The silver breast cups are designed to comfortably sit over your nipples, with silicone edges that conform to your bra or clothing. Before applying, place a dab of breast milk or water on the edge, and they will easily adhere to the skin. Once in place, they protect the nipples from friction caused by clothing.
Can be used for years: Instead of constantly buying disposable nursing pads, creams, and lotions, mothers can purchase a set of Fraupow Pure Silver Breast Cups (or receive them as a gift) and use them for many years – for this baby and any future ones! With proper storage, they can last for decades and are a reliable companion for all those nursing sessions.
