Why the idea of breastfeeding shells?
Nursing shells were recommended to us by a midwife whom we thank. Indeed, shellfish facilitate the healing of cracks that may appear at the start of breastfeeding. Many of us give up breastfeeding because of this. However, when you apply nursing shells to your nipple, in a few hours (or days), the cracks disappear.
Before launching we wanted to make sure of the benefits of these shellfish and we therefore contacted nearly 3000 midwives in France. 93% of those who answered us confirmed the usefulness of breastfeeding shells. We then set out to offer them to you.
We have not reinvented this product, our competitors Babyshell or Bébé Nacre also sell it. But thanks to our know-how, we offer affordable breastfeeding shells for you and your baby. And that we are very proud of.
How to use breastfeeding shells?
Nursing shells owe their effectiveness to your breast milk. Your breast milk is naturally healing, antiseptic and moisturizing. Just massage your nipple with your end-of-feeding milk. This one is fattier and will be more protective for your breast. You then place your shell over it in your bra. The nursing shell is thus maintained and will protect your nipple from friction, irritation, keep it in a humid environment and collect the drops of milk that overflow.
Nursing shells help prevent cracks. So do not wait to have pain to use them. They are also a very nice birth gift to offer to a future mother. Ideal to include in a birth box or a birth list.
No plastic, 100% natural!
Our breastfeeding shells are 100% natural. These are limpets that are picked up from the sea to be eaten. We recover the shell only, which we polish by hand with great care. We make sure that it is not sharp, well formed, of the right size so that it adapts to your morphology.
Very easy to maintain, they are washable with water. You just need to pass them under water with a little soap to keep them clean.
Then we work on our packaging to eliminate plastic as much as possible. For example, we line our shipping boxes with recycled wood fibre.
