Attractive but useless for me
Great aesthetic appeal, and an idea that’s been due for some time. I’m sure they work for some moms. Not me though!
The tunnels on the flanges are WAY too short for my boobs. I understand that’s an integral part of how these flanges are so discreet, since they don’t stick out very far, but my nipples were quickly sucked straight to the back of the tunnel. That meant that all milk flow was blocked by the back “wall” of the tunnel, and the suction was focused on the bottom little crescent spot where my areola was covering the opening that milk was supposed to drain through. I can sort of half-pump with these if I hold my boob back with two hands, or if I shove my Pumpin’ Pal flanges into the Moxxly flanges, but that defeats the purpose in a big way.
Also - the first time I used them, the valves didn’t release the milk, and it ended up backing up into my tubing and making a huge mess. That resolved the next few times I tried them out, but I’m still wary.
I’ve been pumping for over two years now. I own 9 pumps and I don’t even know how many other aftermarket pumping parts & accessories. I bought the Moxxly flanges the week they launched. I experimented with them about 5 times in the first week I had them, and they’ve been sitting in a cabinet since. They don’t work for me at all.
