Spectra Flange Sizes report

A breast pump is a tool used to express breast milk accumulated in the breast. The correct use of a breast pump can help dredge the breasts and accurately grasp the amount of breast milk consumed by a baby. The most common reason for using a breast pump during lactation is to preserve the milk so that the baby can get breast milk in time when the mother is away.

Spectra is a breastfeeding product developed and manufactured by UZINMEDICARE in South Korea. Since its establishment in 1999, it has developed and marketed various breast pump products. In 2003, Spectra became worldwide famous, and now it is a reliable old brand in the industry. The experience feedback of breastfeeding mothers from various countries has continuously improved product quality, perfected after-sales service, and is committed to providing more high-quality and stable breastfeeding supplementary products.

A breast pump is an essential breastfeeding supply for your upcoming baby, and Spectra is one of your best choices. The following post introduces details about Spectra breast pump flange sizes you should know when purchasing.

Spectra Flange Size Guide

Whether a mom is exclusively breast pumping or away from her baby for any reason, it will be significantly more efficient when the breast pump is set up correctly. As most new mothers get started using their Spectra pump, they find it helpful to explore breast pump flange size. Unfortunately, there is no way to know the correct size before they start pumping. Do not panic, and all Spectra breast pumps come with size 24mm breast flanges in the box, which will work for most mums initially.

Spectra breast pump flange sizes are available in 20mm, 24mm, 28mm, 32mm. Getting your best flange fit is ultimately a matter of trial and error to determine what size gives you the best comfort and output, regardless of measuring. Still, the following information will help you determine faster.

Know the best fit Spectra Flange Size

Breast pumping should never hurt. If you are experiencing pain, discoloration, or rings around the areola when pumping, it is likely coming from your flange size. Having a poorly sized flange can cause breast damage, pain, and low milk supply, leading to premature weaning. Measuring will help you know your right flange size, but it only tells you a piece of the story. Some moms need to size up or down and change sizes throughout their breastfeeding journey.

Accurately Measure the nipple

Finding the proper size for a breast flange is based on the diameter of the nipple, not the areola (the softer pigmented skin around the nipple). When your nipple is centered inside the flange tunnel, it should only have a few millimeters (3-5) of wiggle room around the nipple.

Test the Flange

The nipple should stretch a little less than halfway down the flange when pumping for the most part. The nipple should move freely with no rubbing against the sides, which could be mean it is too tight. It is normal for nipple size to fluctuate or use different sizes on each breast. Both too small or too large of a flange can be accompanied by pain, discomfort, discoloration, or low milk output.

Breast pump flange sizing is important for milk extraction and milk flow, so one way to get the right size is to purchase more than one size in the single flange, and then once you determine your needs, purchase more in the appropriate size. The Spectra breast pump is the best choice for daily use. It is durable, works with many nipples, and has a wide array of fitting after-market brands that make this pump a go-to for pumping parents everywhere.
