Finding Your Ideal Bra Fit
CORRECT NIPPLE POSITION & FLANGE SIZING
Ensure nipple is centered in the Breast Flange
and not bent or pinched off. If the tip of the nipple
hurts while expressing, check that the nipple is in
the center of the Flange.

FINDING THE IDEAL BRA FIT FOR YOU
Bra fit is critical to the proper use of this device because
your bra must do the job that your hands would be
required to do with a traditional pump.
1.
Before choosing a bra, pump by holding the SlimFit5 Cups
in place with your hands. Consider how much pressure you
normally apply against your breasts to pump and observe
the optimal position and orientation of the Cups on each
of your breasts.
Most moms are not perfectly symmetrical, and improper
positioning or pressure on one or both breasts may result
in low output. It is important to practice and experiment
with different bras to figure out how to make the Cups
work well and effectively for you. The pressure needs to
be consistent throughout your pump session such that
no gaps occur.
Be aware that the pressure needed may be different
when your breasts are full versus when they are emptying.
A sports bra works well for many women.
2.
Be sure your bra keeps the SlimFit5 Cups in an upright
position and does not allow the devices to slip around,
sag downward, or tilt off to the side during use as a loss
of suction may occur.
3.
Make sure you achieve a good consistent seal between
the Breast Flanges and your skin.
4.
Make sure the Breast Flange opening is centered over
the nipple when placed inside your bra.
