soft shields?

in Breastfeeding

anyone use them?  anyone swear by them?  I have PIS and am looking at the softfits...  

When I am pumping if I massage my breast on the side I can see milk shoot out a bit more, so I was thinking these might assist me.  But my hard shields cover so much of me there isn't much area to massage.  I am definitely on the tiny side,  I am wearing size small nursing bras.

    I had them and did like them...I dont know if I got anymore milk though.  The only issue is that they start to warp after being sterilized so I moved to the hard shields.

    I personally didn't like the soft-fit shields, and like PP said, they warped in the dishwasher.

    I prefer the hard ones.

    They were discontinued.  I checked with Medela because I liked them better, but I guess they were unpopular.

    I like them.  They came with my Freestyle, and I managed to buy a second set from the baby store at my hospital.  I was them by hand, though, and my son is only 10 weeks old, so they probably haven't had time to warp yet.
