Flange Sizing Guide

Using the correct breast flange size is crucial for comfortable and effective milk expression. An improperly sized flange can lead to discomfort and reduced milk output.

Figure 6: Guide to measuring for correct flange size.

To determine your correct flange size, measure the diameter of your nipple (not the areola) at its base after a pumping session. Add 2-3mm to this measurement to find your ideal flange size. The Spectra S1 Plus includes both 24mm and 28mm flanges to help you find a comfortable fit.
