So I have tried several different flanges on my pump and assumed they were all too big, so I ordered the Ameda Flexishield which is 21mm. The problem is my nipples still turn dark purple after pumping. I don't have the suction up high since my nipples are so tender. Anyone have experience with this???
TIA
My left turns purple but the right doesn't. I've used two different size flanges and neither makes a difference. I don't have pain or discomfort so I haven't worried about it.
Sounds like Raynauds. I have it too. I've not taken medication for it but I'm sure it restricts the flow from one of my breasts. I do put a warm cloth on them sometimes and it relievesome of the pain.
