I have one set and I save them as my "just in case" pair. They seem more narrow than the regular mediums because they are so straight! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-505333 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:18:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 505333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>oh noo. i also didn't know target's were fused like that! good to know and hope you feel better soon!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-505301 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:06:33 +0000 LemonLong 505301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had to get smaller shields which were super hard to find, I was in so much pain using the standard ones though-felt like my whole boob was being sucked in! I wish they would just include a variety of sizes with the pump. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-505296 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:05:31 +0000 autumnlove 505296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The standard flanges are so small! Ouch! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-505279 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 11:59:24 +0000 MaisyMay 505279@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch.

Grrrrrr </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504961 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:59:02 +0000 Alivoo01 504961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm newly preggo so I can't relate to what you're talking about, but I'm totally grabbing my boobs in pain for you!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504952 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:56:21 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 504952@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch!! I had to do that once, but I actually needed the small shields and all they sold in the stores were the M &amp; L. Oh, it hurt so bad :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504948 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:55:11 +0000 purrpletulips 504948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch. My last pump (Lansinoh) had the fused shields and I hated them in every size. My experience is that the pain will only last a day or so. </p> <p>I just downsized to the smallest shield and pumped pain free for the first time; apparently I'm not in the majority since like @prettylizy said most people have to go up in size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504938 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:52:50 +0000 prettylizy 504938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouchie.... not nice. I don't get where they come up with the sizing. Most mama's I know needed bigger sheilds than the standard ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504931 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:51:15 +0000 Andrea 504931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ouch! Yeah, the fused together ones are no good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ow-ow-ow-wrong-size-pump-shield#post-504866 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 09:22:06 +0000 mediagirl 504866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ahhh! I forgot my connectors today. I packed my bag last night and they were still drying on the rack. I totally forgot to put them into the bag. So, I went to Target (the closest store) and bought a set of shield, connector and membrane. Well, they're all fused together, it's not four pieces! I usually use the XL shield but since these are fused together, I have to use the standard M flange. My boobs are going to be so angry at me this afternoon.</p> <p>So, FYI: If you ever need parts for your PISA, don't buy the "Breastshield with valve and membrane" if you don't use that size shield.. :( </p>
