BareShield

Never in a million years would I have thought I’d become so grateful for silicone!! It is HANDS 🙌 DOWNS one of the biggest and best game changers to come to pump comfort and better milk output! So…at first I was a bit worried because I didn’t see the brand of hard flanges that I would be using with these incredible miracle workers. Well, after scrolling through countless photos of the actual bare motherhood flanges and the two main brands compatible, I decided to take the risk!! INCREDIBLY thankful I did because they fit flawlessly with my Ameda brand hard flanges (size 30.5 though, will NOT fit/work with the 24.5/25 or 28.5 hard flanges). The level of comfort I feel when pumping with these have been truly night and day difference compared to having to deal with purely hard plastic other than the small little silicone flange insert they provide from the hospital and/or breast pump kit. Have to also add, VERY grateful I read through 2 or 3 pages of the reviews because my nipple measurement is very close if not the same as a lot of the women (between 17mm - 19mm), and I would have been WAYYYYY OFF having ordering my regular/actual flange size. The 15mm bare motherhood flanges are in fact 17mm instead, so definitely make sure you know which size you need. :) They’re also incredibly easy to wash, clean, and sterilize (NOT a UV sterilizer) every 24 hours AND after first getting anything pump or bottle related initially out of its packaging.

I personally found the silicone design to be comfortable but almost to suctioning. Once you put it on it stays right in place which is nice, but makes it difficult to adjust if not centerd on the nip. I almost wish the base was plastic so I could see where the nip is placed, being that the base isn't 'clear' like easily see through clear i found it difficult to place the nip in the right spot on the first try.
It is a more comfortable design than the standard all plastic pump parts.
Maybe even if the 'color' was more see through this would increase my rating.

BareShields have completely transformed my pumping experience—they are the most convenient flanges I’ve ever used and have truly saved my pumping journey! As a busy mom with ADHD, pumping can feel overwhelming with all the steps, sensory issues, and complications that come with it. But these flanges have simplified everything in a way that nothing else has. They eliminate the hassle, reduce the steps, and make pumping as close to effortless as possible, which has helped me pump more frequently and ultimately increase my milk supply.

What sets BareShields apart is how incredibly convenient they are. They stay on securely, almost like a Haakaa but without the suction, meaning I don’t even need a pumping bra! In fact, they stay in place better than traditional flanges with a pumping bra. I can just fold down my regular bra, pop the shields on quickly, and let my bra support the flanges and bottles—no extra straps or setup required. This one simple change has made pumping so much easier and helps me stay consistent without feeling like it’s an overwhelming chore.

They’re even more convenient than wearable pumps, and I get way better output with a fit that’s far more comfortable. The BareShields flanges feel more like the sensation of my baby nursing and empty me more effectively than any other product I’ve tried. Plus, they take up minimal space! when I’m out and about, I just fold them back to fit easily in my purse, unlike bulky hard flanges.

Not only are they a game-changer in convenience, but they are also the most comfortable flanges I’ve ever used. As a second-time pumping mom, I know now just how important a well-fitting, pain-free flange is, and these have made all the difference. Plus they are CUTE!

On top of it all, Casey, the amazing mama behind BareShields, offers the most personalized customer support. She truly cares about each customer and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of. It feels so good to support a small business run by someone who understands what pumping moms really need.

Every pumping mom needs to try BareShields. They have made pumping easier, more efficient, and so much less stressful. I truly can’t recommend them enough!

I have been using the 15mm flange for about a week now with my spectra and I the fit is perfect. I love how big the flange is that stays in place making it comfortable in my pumping sessions at home or in my car I don’t worry about spills or having to hunch over. Bonus I have seen a larger output of milk while using this flange in 15min pumping sessions. This is a much needed product if you pump it’s thick and durable making pump sessions pain free. Note the 15mm flange guys perfect in 24mm

Absolutely love the flanges! One of my best purchases yet!
