Q&A(8)
Q: How do I know what size I'll need?
A: This is from their website: Using a measuring tape, measure the diameter your nipple at the base (across the middle) in millimeters (mm). 1 cm = 10 mm. Do not include your areola. So, for example: If your nipple measures 16 mm in diameter, your recommended PersonalFit breast shield size is 21 mm because the 21 mm shield fits nipples up to 17 mm in diameter. If your nipple diameter measures 24 mm, your recommended size would be 30 mm.
