We get it! Breastfeeding can sometimes be painful. Check out these nipple shields that could make your journey a little bit easier. 

Shellies

These breastfeeding seashells are just that, nipple soothers from the sea. Dating back to a Norwegian tradition, limpet shell shave been used by lactating mothers to protect and soothe their sensitive nipples since the time of the vikings. 

The minerals in the seashells' mother-of-pearl lining were believed to have healing capabilities, and the shells brought relief, as well as protected the skin between feedings.

In Europe, seashells are now commonly recommended as a treatment for sore nipples by maternity ward nurses and lactation consultants

So what are the benefits?

Mother of pearl lined shells feel cool and soft on breastfeeding nipples, providing immediate relief.

Drops of breast milk retained in the seashells have anti-bacterial properties that help soothe dry and cracked nipples.

The seashells stay comfortably in place, creating a barrier between you and your bra or breast pads, limiting rubbing or sticking.

They are 100% natural, hand polished seashells from the Pacific Ocean. Nothing more. Sustainable, as shells are discards from limpets fished for food. They're also biodegradable. You'll have these for as long as you need them, and then some. One pair can last through multiple pregnancies.
