BeauGen’s Breast Pump Cushion
Kick Pain to the Curb
We got off to a rocky start in the beginning when our son came almost four weeks early. I didn’t know them that I could pump as a means of encouraging my milk to come in. Now we’re doing much better with nursing and still supplement with formula, but we still pump from time to time. To be honest and totally transparent, I hate pumping. I did however find a way to make it suck less…well more, but hurt less. You get this if you’re a pumping Mama. I use a Medela Harmony hand pump and BeauGen Breast Pump Cushions.
Breast pump flanges are uncomfortable and for many moms they can be beyond painful. The pain comes from your sensitive tissue rubbing against the hard plastic angle of the flange. It sounds like you’re stuck with this pain, but thanks to BeauGen and their Breast Pump Cushions, Mama’s have an alternative!
Born from one mom’s pumping journey, the breast pump cushions are an easy to use stretchy plastic flange insert that creates a barrier between your breast and the flange. The pain is alleviated but the benefits don’t stop there.
Additional Benefits of BeauGen Breast Pump Cushions
Not all mamas are the same size. But breast pumps tend to only come with a few flange sizes. Using the breast pump cushions can actually help certain moms achieve a better fit with their flange which means a better pumping experience.
In fact, if you have one boob that “pumps less”, it could be that your flange size is incorrect. If your flange size is too big, you can use the cushion to get a better fit. If your flange is too small, but the next size up is too big, you can now try the larger size and use the BeauGen breast pump cushion. If the cushion doesn’t reduce the flange size enough, you can fold the tunnel in half.
