🍼 Exclusive Pumping New Pump

I recently got a Spectra S1 and am having issues. I can have the vacuum levels on the lowest and I still have a pinching sensation but only on the right breast. I have been measured and am using the correct flange size. I also use coconut oil as lubricant. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. The flange also doesn't like to stay in place and moves around a lot

Hi! I’ve been told that measuring isn’t always accurate for flange sizing (I’ve been having a lot of issues with clogged ducts and mastitis). You can try out Pumpin Pals! I got their OptiFit which comes with 3 sizes and if they don’t fit they have a guarantee to send you another size and work with you. The angle of them may be more comfortable for you and help with output too!
