The Haakaa Petal Milk Collector is a slim, silicone milk collector you wear inside your bra to catch let-down and leaking milk through the day. It's a passive collector, so it simply sits against the breast and gathers the milk that would otherwise soak into a breast pad — there's no suction and no need to press the back of the cup. With a 30 ml capacity and a soft, petal-shaped profile, it's designed for discreet, all-day wear so you can save the milk your body releases while getting on with your routine.
Its curved, form-fitting shape is made to sit naturally against the breast and stay hidden under clothing, without the bulk or visible outline of a bulkier shell. Internal supports help the Petal hold its shape and minimise leaks during wear, and the one-piece silicone design means there are no fiddly parts to take apart at cleaning time. If you've found traditional breast pads soak through and waste the milk they absorb, this offers a way to collect that milk instead.
How it Works
- Passive collection: The Petal catches let-down and leakage that your breast releases on its own — it doesn't use suction, so it isn't a pump.
- Shape-holding supports: Internal supports help the collector keep its form against the breast and reduce leaks during wear, which is why you don't need to press on the back of the cup.
- Slim silicone profile: Made from ultra-soft, lightweight medical-grade silicone in a petal shape that's designed to sit comfortably and invisibly under clothing.
How to Use
- Centre the main opening over your nipple and hold the Petal to your breast.
- Wear it inside your bra to begin collecting let-down. The supports help minimise leaks, so there's no need to press the back of the collector.
- Wear the Petal on the opposite side while nursing to catch let-down, or wear one on each breast to collect leakage.
- The Petal can be worn while lying down — just make sure it's held securely inside your bra.
Cleaning & Care
Wash the collector before and after each use. It's dishwasher safe, though hand washing in warm, soapy water and rinsing thoroughly is recommended. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2–3 minutes. Use only soft-bristle brushes or soft sponges, as hard scourers can scratch the silicone, and avoid any bleach-based cleaners or sterilising tablets. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. With repeated use — especially in hard-water areas — the silicone may turn slightly cloudy; this is normal and doesn't affect how it performs.
Best For
The Haakaa Petal Milk Collector is a great option for parents who:
- Leak or let down on one side while feeding on the other and want to save that milk
- Prefer a slim, discreet collector they can wear under clothing while out, at work or on the go
- Want to reduce their reliance on disposable breast pads
- Like a one-piece silicone design that's simple to clean
It may not be the best fit if you:
- Need to actively express milk — this is a passive collector, not a pump
- Are looking for a high-capacity container for larger volumes
Disclaimer
For adult use only. Inspect the Petal before each use and discard it at the first sign of damage or weakness. Do not wear it while vigorously exercising or operating heavy machinery, and keep it out of reach of children and pets when not in use. If you plan to feed the collected milk to your baby, empty the collector regularly and store the milk according to safe milk-storage guidelines.
