Milkdrop pumps have a special interface that moulds to your nipple, supporting your areola from being sucked too harshly into your pump. It's taken us 4 years to perfect our design, which can reduce nipple nasties like discomfort, swelling, chafing and redness.
- Cushions your nipple and areola. They’re made from the softest silicone available and are 10x softer than your pump and 4x softer than other cushions.
- Prevents your nipple and areola from being over-sucked into your flange.
- Mimics baby suckling, which can help with output during a pumping session.
- Made from medical-grade silicone which can be used on broken skin. (Others are regular ol' food-grade).
Backed by science & design
In a pilot study of women using our pump interface cushion:
👍🏼 92% of women found pumping more comfortable, with comfort scores increasing from 5/10 to 9/10
👍🏼 Nipple swelling redness and damage all decreased for women identifying as having an uncomfortable pumping experience.
👍🏼 73% of women collected about the same or more milk.
👍🏼 We've been working on our designs for 4+ years, and have created hundreds of iterations and prototypes. We want Milkdrop Pumps and cushions to make as many people as possible more comfy.
Maybe you're wondering?
What's the difference between Milkdrop and other pumps on the market?
Wow, where do we start? We've been working on our interface (the part that connects with your breast) for 4+ years, to get a comfy pump for as many people as possible. Our design mimics baby's suck, and is award-winning (and patent-pending). We're made from medical-grade silicone (not food grade), which can be used on chapped and broken skin.
Will your cushions fit my pump?
Milkdrop cushions are made specifically for Milkdrop pumps.
You could purchase a Milkdrop pump (which comes with cushions), and use the cushions on other pumps. However, it's best to check with us first if they're compatible at support@milkdroppumps.com
Which size am I?
Read more about how to measure your nipples. If you’re still not sure contact us for help or order a Small (90% of people fit this size).
What if the pump and cushion interface doesn't work for me?
Every body is different, and responds differently to different designs and products.
If you purchase a Milkdrop pump, then you will receive the pump in your size (either flange, or with inserts) as well as cushions. Try different combinations to see what works. You may find that you don't need the cushions at all, but you may find that they're the comfiest thing ever. It's about the options!
If your cushion doesn’t fit and you want to try another size, or it’s not working for you, just email our team and we’ll arrange to have a different size sent out for you (free of charge). While we replace cushions, unfortunately we can't return pumps.
Do you ship to my country?
