You've done it! You are a mum now, congrats. 🤍Those early days of breastfeeding can feel like a whirlwind. Between learning your baby’s cues, managing engorgement, leaky boobs, sore nipples and unpredictable let-down, it can feel like there’s a lot going on… all at once.

That’s where collection shells come in, and the Mumasil Deluxe Collection Shells have quickly become a favourite for mums looking for comfort, protection, and an easy way to save every precious drop of your liquid gold.

Why So Many Mums Love Them

There’s a reason these shells are a staple in so many postpartum drawers.

Mums love Mumasil breastmilk collection shells because they:

• Collect all of your leaking breast milk instead of it getting soaked up in your breast pads
• Help keep nipples dry and reduce irritation
• Protect sore, cracked, or healing nipples from rubbing
• Support airflow around the nipple to aid healing
• Can help relieve pressure during engorgement
• Are reusable, easy to clean, and discreet under clothing

They’re especially helpful if you’re leaking between feeds, experiencing let-down on the opposite side while feeding, or wanting to give tender nipples a break without skipping a feed.

How to Use Collection Shells

Using them is simple, even on those sleep-deprived, newborn-heavy days.

Before first use:
Sterilise your breast shells by placing them in boiling water for 2–3 minutes or using a steam steriliser. Allow them to cool completely before use.

To wear:

1. Make sure your breasts are clean and dry (wipe off any creams or lotions before use).
2. Place the shell gently over your nipple, ensuring it sits comfortably.
3. Pop it inside your nursing bra, a supportive, well-fitting bra works best.
4. Wear between feeds or while feeding on the opposite side to catch let-down.

When milk has collected, simply remove the shell carefully and transfer the milk into a clean storage container if you wish to save it.

A Few Helpful Tips

• Breast shells are best worn between feeds, not during sleep
• Empty and rinse regularly to avoid overflow
• Always follow safe breast milk storage guidelines
• If you’re using nipple creams, allow time for absorption before wearing shells

And remember: leaking varies from mum to mum. Whether you leak a lot or just a little, breast shells can still be a game-changer for comfort alone.
