Adaptor to allow your Medela or Pumpables universal breastshield to connect to the Spectra backflow protector. Also works with Pumpables Short Stem Backflow Protector. Comes in a pack of 2.
Lots of pumping mamas want to use the shields they already have with their Pumpables or Spectra breast pump! Just connecting an open system shield system directly to your pump is a no-no though, as milk may get into the pump motor which is bad for hygiene and will also void your pump warranty.
Pumpables have come up with an answer, with this magic little adaptor which fits between the shield and the backflow protector. The adaptor plugs into the shield on one end and backflow protector plugs into the other end. Perfect!

All Pumpables parts in contact with your milk are free from BPA, phthalates and other nasties.

Using the correct sized breastshield is really important to have the most comfortable pumping experience. We are all different shapes and sizes, and it can be really hard to know which breastshield size you will be when you start pumping.
A baby's mouth compresses a nipple evenly all over the nipple and areola, whereas a breastshield flange is rigid. As a result, if your flange is too large, the areola will 'bunch' up into the flange, which can cause pain and nipple trauma. You want the flange to be just wide enough to fit the base of your nipple, preventing the areola from being able to get pulled into the flange.
Using our nipple ruler is a good place to start.
If you've used the ruler and you're still not sure, we're happy to help with another opinion. If you'd like us to give you feedback, please take a photo of your nipple through each size so we can compare how each fits. You can send your pics through the 'chat' function at bottom right of the page.
For extra help, send a video of your nipple in the flange while you're pumping through our Fitting Room.
