Breast Pump Flange & Insert Size Guide
Getting the right breast pump flange fit for your body is one of the most important parts of your pumping experience. If your pump doesn't fit you, using it could be like wearing the wrong bra. Awkward, frustrating, and pretty darn uncomfortable.
Our pumps are customizable, with different flange and insert sizing options to customize the pump to fit your body.

What are breast shields and nipple cushions and why might I need them?
Your pump uses a breast shield to connect your nipple with the pump. If it does not fit, it can affect milk volume and comfort. Elvie offers shields in 21 mm, 24 mm, and 28 mm.
If you have smaller nipples, you might need Elvie Nipple Cushions. Nipple Cushions are soft, silicone accessories that you can place inside a 24mm Breast Shield (which are included with all the breast pumps listed above) to help size down your shield and provide extra comfort. Elvie Nipple Cushions are available in size 15mm, 17mm, or 19mm. You can identify your fit with the table above.
To find the right combination for you, you need to measure your nipple. Follow the guidance below to learn how.
Elvie Stride 2:
Exciting news! Stride 2 is our first product to include ALL sizing inserts in the box as well as a handy kit to help you measure your nipples. We recommend using the in-box measuring tool on arrival to choose your inserts.
Can I use Elvie Nipple Cushions with my Elvie Stride 2?
We wouldn't recommend using Elvie Nipple Cushions with Stride 2, and would recommend using the in-box inserts. Elvie Stride 2 includes inserts within the box, which provide the comfort of a Nipple Cushion.
How do I measure my nipple?
Why is breast pump sizing important?
No two ways about it. Getting the right size for you is kind of a big deal. It connects your pump to your body. If it doesn't fit, you might experience decreased milk volumes or even pain or discomfort. Not ideal, right?
What do I need to measure?
To get the recommended breast pump fit for you, you need to measure the base of your nipple. The base of your nipple is where it meets the areola. The areola is the circular patch of darker skin on your breast.
It’s important to size both of your nipples. No two nipples are the same, so you might find you need different sizes for left and right.
To avoid inaccurate measurements, do not measure yourself directly after pumping or breastfeeding.
- Do not measure immediately after pumping or breastfeeding.
- Measure at the base of your nipple, where it meets the areola (the darker skin area).
How do I measure my nipple size?
- Grab a ruler and a debit/credit card.
- Perk up one of your nipples.
- Hold the card at the end of the ruler at a right angle (align card edge to 0 mm).
- In front of a mirror, place the base of your nipple in the ruler-card corner.
- The widest point at the base of your nipple is your size.

Reviews
Life savers!
"I wish I would’ve tried Elvie out sooner in my pump journey because it has been a life saver. Thankfully a friend suggested it to me 6 months post partum after she heard me complaining about how tired I was of pumping with a different brand. Highly recommend, definitely worth the money!"
Great product
"These were a great adjustment for my pump. Eady to use and clean, as well as comfortable!"
Makes such a difference!
"After using these I am no longer sore and am able to pump longer with more output."
Ahhhmazing
"I love these things. They are so comfortable compared to hard plastic flanges. I think they have helped my output too."
Comfy!
"Needed a different since flange than offered so bought these cushions. Super nice and I get great output! Happy with my purchase."
Great addition
"These cushions help a lot with the fit of the breast shield and make the pumping more comfortable for me"
Cushions
"I love that Elvie offers these cushions. They make pumping so much more comfortable for me!"
Just get these- don't waste money on knock offs
"These work well and make pumping more comfortable if you have smaller nipples. The flange inserts you get off Amazon that work with multiple brands of pumps don't work well in the Elvie so just get these."
Really helpful for a comfortable pump
"I really like these flange inserts, they’re like pillows and much easier to clean than my spectra pump flanges."
