Manual Breastpump

The Ardo Amaryll is a manual pump which is mainly used for occasional expressing, however, if you have a high milk supply you can regularly pump with the Amaryll.

What types of breast shell sizes are available?

A breast shell that does not fit correctly prevents efficient pumping, can cause pain and give rise to sore nipples.

Making the right choice of breast shell is important, and the breast shell is correct if:

• the nipple moves freely in the funnel and can follow the rhythmic movements of the pump

• no part or very little of the areola tissue is in the funnel

• the milk flows and the breast feels soft everywhere after pumping.

Ardo offers the following breast shell sizes:

• 26mm, that accepts a 22mm insert

• 31mm, that accepts a 28mm insert

• 36mm
