I wanted to share my experience to help others decide if they should try a smaller breast shield. I have very prominent nipples/areolae (i.e. my areola is not flat on the breast but protrudes along with the nipple). Despite reading all the websites out there on proper fit, I had a hard time trying to figure out which part of my nipple/areolae was supposed to be in the tunnel. I experienced a lot of pain and bruising with the standard 24mm shields. Two different lactation consultants told me to go up to 30mm. The 30mm incorporated my entire nipple/areola and was even getting some regular breast tissue while pumping. Although the 30mm didn't hurt as much, it definitely was not comfortable--the discomfort was to the point where I worried that I was damaging my areola tissue because it was swelling so much afterwards. I also wasn't getting as much milk as I did with the 24mm. After looking at a lot of pictures of normal breast anatomy, I figured out that my nipple was not the whole protruding pigmented part of my breast, but just the tip (before it widens out into areola). I decided to go ahead and order these and I am so glad I did. Pumping doesn't hurt at all anymore--it is much more comfortable, almost to the point where I don't really notice it (compared to the other sizes, where I felt every single suction). My nipple fits into the tunnel without touching the sides and only a little bit of the areola goes in while pumping. If you are still not sure whether to get these, just remember that you know your body best and lactation consultants can sometimes be wrong.
Finally, a fit! June 2, 2008

Pumping can be mysterious when you first start. Medela pumps come with the standard 24mm flanges, but that size doesn't fit all. Oddly, there's no specific way to tell if that flange is too big (too small is easy to tell). You can pump in front of a lactation consultant for input on size. If there is a lot of space on the sides of the nipple when you begin pumping, if pumping pulls a good portion of the aerola into the flange, and if pumping hurts, then you probably need the smaller size. This 21 mm flange made pumping possible for me.
Very good for slow milk production August 10, 2009

While using the pump with the size that was provided, I noticed A LOT of leaking while pumping. Once I switched to this size the milk seemed to have an easier time coming out and the leaking stopped. I'd certainly try using these if you are having those types of issues. These didn't cause any discomfort or cause pinching.

These fit me far better than the standard 24mm softfit breastshields that come with the medela pump in style. I instantly was able to express more milk once I purchased these, and they didn't irritate my skin the way the softfit did. I went from expressing around 8 oz at each session to about 13 oz on average, and again that was instantly. Medela has a chart to check so that you can see how the shields should fit you, or you can speak with a lactation consultant. Believe me, it is worth it to get the most out of your pumping experience- it even shortened the time I had to pump nearly in half.
Does it's job March 2, 2009

This does it's job. I thought I would need this smaller size while I was still pregnant, which is why I ordered them. But once I had my baby and my milk came in, it turns out the normal 24mm size fit better. Don't forget you need to buy connectors if you get this.
