After breastfeeding my own children for years, I gradually took on more opportunities to encourage and educate other mothers on all things lactation.
The passion grew and eventually, I pursued full accreditation within the medical world as an IBCLC (aka breastfeeding expert).
As our business grew and we began to see more moms needing or choosing to exclusively pump, it became clear just how important the appropriate gear could be! Especially the FLANGE.
One of the most overlooked yet critical factors in the process is ensuring that mothers use the correct flange size when pumping, even if she is a part-time or occasional pumper. Every lactation professional has seen the effects of an improper flange fit—moms struggling with pain, poor milk output, painful or cracked nipples, supply issues, clogged ducts, etc.
It’s not just an inconvenience; it can impact a mother’s entire breastfeeding journey, or even end it.
We NEEDED a quick, convenient, and accurate way to measure moms. There were some options available through pump supply stores, but I was looking for something that fit my exact specifications:
-It needed to be easy to clean
-It needed to be flexible
-It needed to be durable
-It needed to be accessible and easy for me to keep on my person
(Annnnnnd if it was available in cute colors, that would be great too!)
My goal from the very beginning has been to treat mothers how I wished I had been treated as a new mom and to ensure THEY feel equipped to care for their babies.
So we got to work with a local business, and over the past year have created a product we are truly proud to share:
The NipStrip is designed to take the guesswork out of flange fittings, once and for all!
We purposefully designed it to attach to a work badge, so it’s always within reach. For lactation consultants and postpartum care professionals on the go, this convenience is invaluable, making it easy to provide quick, accurate sizing at any moment. Better fitting flanges will equal better milk removal, a win for both mother AND baby.
The NipStrip IS NOW AVAILABLE on our website or you can use this link HERE!
We also offer bulk orders on the NipStrip, which you can request by emailing us at:
This has been a labor of love, and one of the highlights of my career so far. We are already hearing positive feedback from our local IBCLCs and cannot wait to see how this tool will make serving mohers that much easier!
