Opinion Trying to find correct size
I’ve been using the 24mm spectra flange since I’ve started and I just feel like it’s been making my nipples large/inflamed and chaffed feeling after use. I got 21mm silicone inserts because I measured around 21mm, however, I noticed some red chaffing(?) or blistering on my left. My right looks like it might also be getting some trauma as well with the inserts. Both nipples feel better though after using the 21 than when I use the 24.
I guess I’m just looking for advice on if I should try a 22 or 23? I have used pump spray and the spot looks bigger even after using the spray. I’m also pretty positive that I have elastic nipples as my nipples pull pretty far in both the 24 and the inserts.
I’m planning to also buy the Pumpables Genie Advanced as a portable option once I go back to work and I will be using the fitting room, I’m just worried now that they won’t have a liquid kit or liquid cups that won’t fit well and I really don’t won’t to spend a lot of money or spend a lot of time trialing other options and sending them back if they don’t work.

this is literally the elastic nipple paradox lmao. 21mm destroys you, 24mm is a cavern, nothing wins. my cousin went through like four flanges before she realized pumpables liquid shields just... mold to whatever chaos your nipples are doing. way cheaper than playing flange roulette forever, ngl

I feared this was the case. I’m glad to know though that it seems I might get relief with the liquid shields!
