Great Breastshield!
Prior to giving birth to my now 8 week old baby girl I had purchased the 'Pump in Style' breastpump. The standard 24mm breastshield would only collect 1 to 2 ounces of breastmilk in half an hour, so because I wasn't sure to go for a smaller or larger breastshield, I ended up purchasing the 21mm and 27mm. The instructions I had seen for possible sizes didn't make sense. It turned out that the 27mm worked much better. Now it takes less than five minutes to pump (including assembling the parts). Also, because the milk is really in now the 24mm works better, still slower than the 27mm, but much better than 4 weeks ago.

Rigid and uncomfortable
I bought this as a spare for a manual pump that I purchased from the same manufacturer. This shield was way to rigid and uncomfortable. It's too bad it can't be returned. The shield that came with my pump was flexible and soft and way more comfortable. I don't think I would have continued pumping if this shield was my only option.

Much more comfortable than the standard ones
When I was using the standard size breastshields that came with the breast pump, my breasts were getting sore. I thought that was just how it was supposed to be. Then a nurse told me to try a larger size and I got these. Now my breasts no longer hurt at all when pumping and my nipples don't get stuck inside. The only thing that is strange to me is that the shape of the cone part seems different that the standard, so it feels a bit large, even though the nipple part fits fine.

Good for more milk
I did not believe myself to have large nipples, but I was frustrated at how little milk I was getting with the standard size breastshield, even with a hospital-grade pump (the Symphony). A lactation consultant suggested I try a larger breastshield. Indeed, these bring a little more breast into the cylinder which has resulted in slightly more milk being expressed. I also tried the SoftFit, which didn't do a thing for me. These are worth a try even if you don't think you have "large" nipples.
