Flange Sizing Tools

Step 1:
Option A: Download this tool to help measure the diameter of your nipple.
Option B: Order a Silicone Flange Sizing Tool from Amazon.
Option C: Order Lactation Hub’s Ultimate Flange Sizing Kit. (shipping is about 3-5 days)

Step 2: Use your thumb + forefinger to roll on the firm edge of your nipple for about 3 seconds. Use the measuring tool to assess for the diameter of those firm edges. The right size will easily slide over your nipple but with very little space left between the paper/tool and your skin.

Step 3: We’ll discuss what you found and choose a flange size that gives you the best chance of success

Step 4: Re-assess along the way to make sure we got it right.

If you are a current client, I am more than happy to set up a 5 minute video call to do the fitting together!
