This was extremely helpful. I realized even though my nipples were measured almost a month ago, I may need to go up one size specifically for the wearable as I’m running into nipple damage and lowered output with them! Great detailed work as always, you’re a godsend ❤❤

Super help video! What if you’re in between sizes, should you size up or down or is it just personal? For instance you’re between the more standard odd sizes but don’t want to change your flange shape to get an even size? Is there where inserts would be better?

Is it better to size up when this happens? If I’m a 17 mm but very elastic should we size up? I’ve been using the 17 mm but with low output.

Its best to get properly fitted- we can’t guess based on what you are reporting without risking damage

The drawing of the breast is missing an areola it’s not helpful

I just reviewed the video to see if somehow an incomplete image was utilized and every breast in the video has an areola. If you find an image with an error please feel free to reach out with screenshots so it can be corrected.
