## Description

Sore nipples, engorgement, and flat or inverted nipples can be common challenges that breast milk feeding mothers face, making nursing and/or pumping particularly difficult and cumbersome. Medela believes that moms should have help overcoming these roadblocks to successful breast milk feeding, which is why we feature a variety of breast shells to specifically address these challenges, provide some much-needed relief between feedings, and help gently and gradually draw out flat or inverted nipples. Medela TheraShells provide a 2-in-1 economical solution through a uniquely innovative design that alleviates both nipple soreness and flat or inverted nipples. What’s Included: (2) Medela TheraShells, (2) shell backs for flat and/or inverted nipples; (2) shell backs for nipple soreness and/or engorgement; (1) Instruction Manual These breast shells’ large opening backs help soothe sore nipples and protect from further irritation, while the small opening backs address flat and inverted nipples. Made without BPA and featuring a low-profile design for discretion under clothing, Medela TheraShells were made to help moms breastfeed – or continue to breastfeed – for as long as they choose*. *If soreness develops, persists, or becomes severe, contact your healthcare professional or lactation specialist.

Review: Great for nipple pain from breastfeeding or pumping! I wish I discovered these sooner! - I was given a set of these from a lactation consultant a few weeks into my breastfeeding journey for my twins. I was struggling with extreme nipple pain and sensitivity and I was on the verge of quitting breastfeeding and pumping. These saved me! I wish I had discovered them sooner. I loved them so much that I bought a second set so that I always had a clean pair when I needed them. I put these in for a few minutes after pumping to help my nipples transition from pumping to being touched by my bra/clothes. I have accidentally fallen asleep with them in and I do not recommend that because they leave a mark and made my nipples feel itchy plus when pressure is applied and you are engorged you may leak. While I love them I will say I think they look ridiculous because they give you this strange puffy nipple appearance so I don't wear them out of the house. I'm an exclusive pumper now and I don't feel the need to use these as often, but I still will use them after pumping if I have any pain or sensitivity.
Review: Protection for sore nipples from pumping - Keeps fabric/breast pads from rubbing on sore nipples. Fits well. Easy to use and assemble. Life saver.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: With flat nipples do i use them with the breast pump?**
A: You wouldn’t need to if you are exclusively pumping bc this just helps errect the nipples for the baby to get a good latch.

**Q: What is the difference btw breastshells &breastshield? i asked my ob if i can use the shells before baby's arrival. but she said never heard of shells**
A: Breastshells are shell like objects that go over the nipple to help air the nipples out between feedings, helps heal bleeding/cracked nipples. They can help inverted/flat nipples pushing them out to help baby latch.Breastshields however are shields you put on the nipple while feeding baby, helps with sensitive nipples and latching among other things.Summary: shells are for in between feedings, shields are for during feeding.

**Q: For flat nipples will I have to wear this all the time between feedings or will it eventually correct my nipples so I don't have to wear them anymore?**
A: This product is designed to soothe sore nipples and protect from further irritation.  As every case is different it is difficult to say how long they would be worn.  As your situation progresses and you gain relief from this product you may find you will be wearing them less and less.

**Q: What is the difference between the TheraShells and the Soft Shells both made by Medela.  I can't tell by the descriptions.**
A: Medela SoftShells consist of both hard plastic (the outer, dome-shape that has holes in it) and a silicone-like "superior comfort with soft, flexible" backs. SoftShells come as two different packages: one for sore nipples (the one that looks like a skinnier "ring", but is referred to as the wider openining) and one for inverted or flat nipples (the one that looks thicker, is more material).  The dome-shaped part that makes contact with the bra is the same in both packages, and according to the instruction booklet, you can buy the backs of the other set to fit the one you purchase.  I'll list the Medela parts information for the SoftShells below (I have it out, so why not!?).  Not sure if the TheraShells come with them, but the SoftShells come with foam u-shaped pieces that can be placed in the bottom of the dome to soak up any spilled milk.SoftShells Domes (each) 810.0234Sore Nipple Backs (each)  820.0022Inverted Nipple Backs (each). 820.0021Foam Inserts (4 per package). 850.7002Inverted Nipple Kit is 80220, 80220S (sterile) US, or 20220 in Canada.Sore Nipple Kit is 80210 and 80210S (sterile) US, or 20210 in Canada.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Protection for sore nipples from pumping
*by J***S on September 18, 2025*

Keeps fabric/breast pads from rubbing on sore nipples. Fits well. Easy to use and assemble. Life saver.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ More for flat nipple than inverted.
*by V***K on September 20, 2024*

works great, not that noticeable while wearing for me or other people, but I definitely think it would work a lot better on flat nipples instead of inverted. I know it says it works for both, but I feel like it’s more intended for flat.
