Haakaa Shell Wearable Silicone Breast Pump

The Haakaa Shell Wearable Silicone Breast Pump is a hands-free silicone device that works two ways: as a wearable suction pump for expressing, and as a passive collector for catching leakage. It brings together the ideas behind the original Haakaa Silicone Breast Pump and the Ladybug Milk Collector, so you can choose how you use it depending on the day. Tuck it into your bra, get on with what you're doing, and let it either draw milk with gentle suction or simply collect what's already leaking.

It's made from 100% medical-grade silicone, is free from BPA, PVC and phthalates, and holds up to 120 ml. Because it's a single piece with no cords or batteries, it packs down small for a nappy bag or overnight stay, and cleaning is straightforward. If you want one device that flexes between expressing and collecting without a lot of parts to manage, this is designed to do exactly that.

Two ways to use it

The two modes work differently, and it helps to know which you're reaching for. With the plug in, pressing the back creates suction so the Shell actively draws milk while you wear it — this is the pump mode, and you can fine-tune how strong it feels by adjusting the one-way valve. With the plug removed there's no suction at all, so it sits in your bra as a passive collector, catching leakage that's already flowing. One is active expression; the other is simply catching drips, and the same Shell handles both.

Designed to be worn and emptied without fuss

The concave shape is designed to mould to your breast for a more secure, discreet fit inside your bra. When it's time to empty it, the Shell lies flat on its back to help avoid spills, and the easy-pour outlet lets you transfer milk into a bottle or storage container with less mess.

How to Use

How it Works

• Suction mode: Pressing the back creates continuous natural suction that draws milk while you wear the Shell hands-free — no motor, cords or batteries involved.
• Passive mode: With the plug removed there's no suction, so the Shell simply catches milk that is already leaking rather than actively removing it.
• One-way valve: The valve controls the pressure, which lets you set a comfortable level and eases removal.
• Stable base: The Shell lies flat on its back once it's off, helping to keep collected milk from spilling before you pour it out.

Best For

The Haakaa Shell Wearable Silicone Breast Pump is a great option for parents who:

• Want one device that can either express with gentle suction or passively collect leakage
• Prefer a hands-free, in-bra option they can wear while getting on with the day
• Like a cord- and battery-free tool that's easy to pack and travel with
• Want a simple one-piece design that's quick to clean and sterilise

It may not be the best fit if you:

• Need a powered, high-output pump for regular, high-volume expressing
• Are looking for a double-pumping setup

Care and cleaning

Wash before and after each use — hand washing in warm, soapy water and rinsing thoroughly is recommended, though it is dishwasher safe. To clean the valve, use a small soft brush or run clean, warm water through it to flush it out. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2–3 minutes, and make sure the outlet is unplugged first to prevent the silicone deforming. Use only soft-bristle brushes or soft sponges, avoid bleach-based cleaners and tablets, and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Disclaimer

For adult use only and not a toy — keep it out of reach of children and pets when not in use. Check the product regularly and replace it if it shows any signs of damage, and inspect the valve before each use to make sure it is free from blockages and tears. If you have ongoing pain, concerns about your milk supply or feeding, or questions about whether collected milk is suitable to feed, speak to a lactation consultant or your healthcare provider.
