After Each Use: Clean these parts with hot soapy water and rinse well.

6. Test Before Use

Prior to placing Cups in your bra:

Turn on pump.
Set pump to strongest setting (5/Turbo).
Barrier inside Cup collapses and releases when assembly is correct.

7 Ready to Pump

Place Cups in your bra:

Bra fit is critical for proper use. Enough pressure is needed to seal the Flange against the breast while too much pressure may cause low output.
Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the Cups in place with your hands. Then try several of your bras to find one that most closely holds the Cups like your hands.
It may be necessary to adjust your bra to find the best fit for you. A sports bra or stretchy nursing bra can work well

How much Cups are jostled

Finding Your Best Flange Fit

Finding the best Breast Flange fit cannot simply be done by measuring your nipples because some nipples stretch more than others under suction. You can estimate your size, but some trial and error may be needed for you to optimize your comfort and milk output.
Experiment to find the right fit and keep in mind:

You may need a deferent size than the Flanges provided.
You may need a deferent size for each nipple because no one is perfectly symmetrical.
You may prefer higher suction, making Flange comfort crucial.
Your nipple may expand in diameter and length while pumping and may change over time, so keep all of your sizes.

Choosing Another Size

Use a ruler or coin diameters to estimate your erect nipple base size, and review the Flange fit details below.
Choose the nearest size Flanges or Fitmie Inserts that are slightly larger than your nipple

SlimFit Fitmie sizes (15mm – 28mm) available at www.freemie.com

Important: Your bra needs to apply enough pressure to create a good seal on your skin so that air does not leak in and reduce suction. Too much pressure can pinch or obstruct ducts and reduce your milk output.
Need more milk capacity? Try SlimFit6 or Standard Cups.
