Milkbar Original Insert

Our inserts are a cost effective option should you be unsure of what size you require or if you wish to replace your silicone piece frequently.

These replacement inserts for our Original Kits come in sizes 22, and 25mm. They include only the silicone cushion (sold singularly), and they fit into the Original suction kit only. 

*Please ensure you have the correct insert for your suction kit before placing your order as these cannot be returned for hygiene reasons. 

Sizing is important when it comes to comfort and effectiveness during pumping. While we try to provide the most 'common' sizes with the breast pumps, sometimes a different size is required.

Signs you might need a larger size:

• You are unable to centre your nipple i.e have it inside the tunnel without it touching the sides
• You feel your nipple is uncomfortable and rubbing against the side of the nipple tunnel during pumping
• Your nipple is unable to move freely with the pumping motion
• Your nipple is being strongly compressed by the 3 phase motion to a feeling of discomfort or pinching

Signs you might need a smaller size:

• An excessive amount of your areola is being drawn into the nipple tunnel
• You experience a painful tugging feeling
• Your nipple is reaching the end of the nipple tunnel while pumping
• You can hear air moving or 'sucking' inside the nipple tunnel
• You are not experiencing compression of the nipple with the 3 phase motion

Examples:
