XP: Flange Size issues

[mrsb1008]

So, I've been having trouble with my flange size this week. Now that I'm pumping multiple times a day at work, I'm having more swelling so needed to size up a flange size (luckily I already bought them). However, during my pumping, I'm constantly having to adjust how the flange sits so no part of my nipple is touching the sides (I ended up with a blister already on one nipple from the rubbing). I'm using the Simple Wishes bra, maybe I need to make it even tighter so nothing moves, and put the straps on.


If it makes a difference I'm using the Hygeia Q pump with the XL flanges. 


Anyone have suggestions?

I don't have suggestions to make them stay in place better, but are you using anything to basically lube up? That would help with the friction if the flange does move and start rubbing. I use coconut oil every pump and it helps immensely!

I have been using olive oil, but thinking I might need something thicker. I'll give lanolin a try since I have some on hand.
