Sizing

Using the correct flange size is essential for the health of your breasts and nipples.

Although most pumps include a 24mm flange by default, many women actually need a smaller size. If you use a flange that’s too large or too small, it can lead to nipple damage, reduced milk output (because you aren’t fully emptying your breasts), and eventually lower milk supply.

Cleaning Your Cushy Silicone Flanges

🧼 Before First Use

✅ Disassemble all parts

🧼 Wash in warm soapy water

💧 Rinse well with clean water

🔥 SUBMERGE PARTS IN A LARGE POT OF WATER AND BOIL FOR THREE (3) MINUTES [This step is crucial to maximize your flange's suction performance]

💨 Shake off excess water and air-dry on a dedicated rack or clean cloth

💧 After Each Use

✅ Separate the flanges from the base connector

🧼 Wash in warm soapy water

💧 Rinse well

💨 Shake off excess water and air-dry on a dedicated rack or clean cloth

⚠️ Do not wash in the dishwasher – this can damage your flanges and shorten their lifespan.

⚠️ How to Sanitize

✅ Use UV or cold water sterilization

❌ Do NOT boil after first use or steam sterilize

⚠️ Avoid harsh detergents as this may damage the product. Exposure to detergent may make the silicone appear cloudy over time.

Assembly

Lubrication

Many moms find Cushy Flanges comfortable. However, if you have sensitive nipples or breast tissue, you might notice some mild discomfort or extra sensitivity.

If that's the case, try lubricating your flanges with a small amount of coconut oil, olive oil, or a pumping spray before pumping.

Over time, both your body and the flanges will adjust, and you’ll likely find you don’t need lubrication after the first few weeks.

Positioning

We recommend the “flip back trick” to get the best seal.

Simply flip the funnel portion of your flange backward toward the tunnel, align your nipple with the beginning of the tunnel, and then flip the funnel forward again.

This helps create a snug, comfortable seal.
