The 27mm silicone breast shells fit onto the Hands-Free pumpsets, helping to efficiently express breast milk.

NB - these breast shells are unsuitable for the Alyssa & Calypso single and double pumpsets.

When it comes to breast shells for expressing breastmilk, one size does certainly not fit all. At Ardo, we cannot stress enough how important it is to make sure you have the correct size breast shell for you, your nipples, and your breast pump, to ensure you are getting the most productive milk flow.


Comfortable and soft - Comfort helps with milk production. The silicone breast shell increases comfort because the soft surface of the silicone feels very gentle against the skin, making it ideal for all nipple shapes.


The correct breast shell is critical for successful expression - with the right breast shell...

  • the nipple fills most of the funnel and can still move freely inside the funnel.
  • the nipple tracks the rhythmic movements of the pump.
  • there is very little areola tissue inside the funnel.
  • the milk flows and the breast feels soft all over after expressing


Breast shell is too big if:

  • Too much areola is sucked into the funnel
  • Air gaps occur between the shell and chest
  • Pumping is uncomfortable.


Breast shell is too small if:

  • The nipple rubs against the wall of the funnel
  • Pumping is unpleasant even in a low vacuum
  • The milk flows slowly and you express less milk than expected. 


The best way to determine which size is to download the sizing guide and measure your nipple (excluding the areola), to the widest part.  This is the breast shell you should try in terms of the diameter - the circle on the breast shells is where your nipple will enter.


Cleaning - the 27mm silicone breast shell can be cleaned:

  • by hand with dishwashing detergent, then rinse thoroughly and leave to air dry
  • boiling in water – then leave to air dry
  • with a steam cleaning bag or container – then leave to air dry


Silicone is a light-sensitive material that can discolour easily. The slightly tacky surface means that the shell can quickly become dusty. It is therefore strongly recommended to store the breast shell protected from light and dust.
