Youha Breastmilk Collection Shells

The Youha Breast Milk Collection Shells are a 3-in-1 pair of breast shells that sit discreetly inside your bra, giving you a simple way to manage leaking, catch let-down and give sore nipples a bit of breathing room between feeds. They're a passive option — they gently catch the milk that leaks on its own rather than actively drawing it out — which makes them a handy alternative to breast pads in the early weeks of breastfeeding.

One of the things parents like about these shells is that they cover a few different jobs from a single set. You can wear them in place of breast pads to keep clothing dry, use them to catch the let-down on one side while you nurse baby on the other, or wear them to air your nipples between feeds and pumping sessions. In the tender early days, they can also help protect sore nipples from chafing against clothing or a breast pad.

How to use

Slip a shell into each side of your bra so it sits comfortably around the nipple. Wear them to catch leakage or let-down, or on their own to keep the nipple away from fabric while skin recovers. Because these are a passive leakage collector, keep in mind that milk caught in a shell worn against the body is not automatically suitable for feeding — follow the product instructions and your own healthcare guidance on whether and how collected milk can be used.

Best For

The Youha Breast Milk Collection Shells are a great option for parents who:

• Want a reusable alternative to disposable breast pads
• Leak on one side during let-down while feeding on the other
• Have sore or sensitive nipples and want to keep them away from clothing or a breast pad
• Like to air their nipples between feeds or pumping sessions

They may not be the right fit if you're looking to actively express or store larger volumes of milk, as these shells are designed for passive collection rather than pumping.

Good to know

Each set comes as one pair, and Youha recommends replacing them every six months with regular use.
