More About Timelines

Timelines are estimates, based on our averages and couriers’ commitments. We always aim to get your order to you quicker than this — but they’re not a guarantee. Wherever your order is in the journey, we’ll keep you updated every step of the way.

Returns Made Easy

Unfortunately, we can’t accept returns on this product once it’s been opened. This is usually because:

  • It’s a hygiene or sanitary product
  • It’s single-use
  • It’s a final sale or clearance item

If there’s a defect or fault, though, it’s always covered as a warranty claim.

If the item is still unopened, you can return it within 30 days of receiving it. Just request a return from your account or through our chat, and we’ll handle the rest.

Returns are always free within 7 days. After that, if you’re returning it because you’ve changed your mind, you may need to cover the return cost. You can send it back yourself, or we can arrange a courier and give you an upfront quote — direct from the courier. If your return is for any other reason, it’s free.

Goes great with ...
  • Soft, skin-like feel: Made from soft 100% medical-grade silicone that closely mimics natural skin for a comfortable, natural feeding experience.
  • Relief for sore nipples: Creates a gentle barrier between the nipple and baby's mouth to help protect sore or cracked nipples during feeds.
  • Support with latching: The natural nipple-like shape is designed to help baby latch effectively.
  • Helpful for inverted nipples: Particularly useful for mums with inverted or flat nipples.
  • Secure, stay-put fit: An ultra-thin design and matte surface improve grip and adhesion to the breast.
  • Safe materials: BPA-free and hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone.
  • Easy to keep clean: Simple to wash and sterilise in boiling water for hygienic reuse.
  • Two per pack: Comes as a set of two shields, available in Small and Medium/Large sizes.

The Difrax LOVI Nipple Shields are a soft silicone breastfeeding accessory designed to provide relief for mums experiencing discomfort at the breast while helping to improve baby's latch. Made from ultra-thin silicone that closely mimics the softness of natural skin, they sit between the nipple and baby's mouth to create a gentle barrier during a feed — which can be particularly welcome if your nipples feel sore or sensitive, or you're finding latching tricky.

These nipple shields are especially useful for mums with inverted or flat nipples, thanks to their recognisable natural nipple-like shape that's designed to support effective latching. The matte surface improves grip and adhesion to the breast so the shield stays comfortably in place, and the material is soft 100% medical-grade silicone that's BPA-free and hypoallergenic. Each pack contains two shields, and they're available in Small (S) and Medium/Large (ML) sizes so you can choose the fit that suits you.

How it works

  • Skin-like silicone: The soft, ultra-thin silicone closely resembles the feel of natural skin, so feeding through the shield stays as natural as possible for both you and baby.
  • Natural nipple-like shape: The shape is designed to encourage a comfortable feeding rhythm and support baby's ability to latch effectively.
  • Protective barrier: By placing a layer between the nipple and baby's mouth, the shield helps protect sore or cracked nipples so you can keep feeding with less irritation.
  • Matte surface for grip: Rather than a glossy finish, the matte surface improves adhesion to the breast for a more secure, stay-in-place fit.

How to use

  1. Consult a lactation consultant before use to make sure the shields are right for you and that you're using them correctly.
  2. Sterilise the shields in boiling water for at least 3 minutes before the first use and after each feed.
  3. Apply the shield to a clean, dry breast for the best adhesion — avoid using cream or oil beforehand, as these can interfere with the fit.

Best for

The Difrax LOVI Nipple Shields are a great option for parents who:

  • Are experiencing nipple soreness or sensitivity and want a soft barrier to feed through
  • Have inverted or flat nipples and are looking for a little extra support with latching
  • Want a reusable silicone shield they can sterilise and use again hygienically

Good to know

Nipple shields are specialised feeding tools, and how well they work depends on fit and correct use — so it's worth consulting a lactation consultant before you start. Early tenderness can be part of finding your feet with breastfeeding, but pain at every feed, cracking, bleeding or symptoms that don't settle are worth having assessed by a qualified professional. A shield can offer a comfortable barrier, but it can't establish why pain is happening.

Care & Maintenance

Sterilise the shields in boiling water for at least 3 minutes before the first use and after each feeding. Apply to a clean, dry breast; avoid using creams or oils before application, as they may interfere with adhesion.
