Are the breast shields that come with this kit detachable, or are they the type that cannot be interchanged if you need a larger breast shield?

Sorry it took a few days to answer this - I had to check since it had been so long! You can absolutely switch out the breast shields. The same yellow piece with the white membrane can be changed to the different shields. Good luck & happy pumping!

The phalanges can be interchanged. I just used mine from the In style pump.

They are detachable, and other sizes are available seperately. The kit comes with a medium sized breast shield.

Hi. Theres only one kit for the shield. The other kits are for full size 9mm and the compact. Buy the one that says Shield

They attach to the bottles and fittings that came with the pump, you don't have to buy anything separate, they are just wider for larger breasts.

Hello Edward L., Unfortunately, all of our shields are designed off of the actual device as listed. We do not have universal shields. This design is only appropriate for the Dynamic ll. Please feel free to contact us if you have further questions or concerns. Thank You

sorry, i can't help. i can not detach mine either, but i only use the one that came on it and i'm satisfied. there were some comments from some buyers last year that they said they came out too easy. so maybe they tightened them up. i was afraid i might break it if i pulled it down too hard...

Pumpin' Pals will work with pretty much ANY pump kit. If the flanges are removable then that's easy. If they aren't, you basically cram the flanges inside the existing ones. It looks weird, but it will work. Also, Pumpin' Pals come with three different sizes, what they call Medium, Large, and X-Large. MOST women will use a medium or large. I'm an RN and breastfeeding educator and I've met maybe one or two women in my 10+ year career that needed the X-Large.

There are actually two different size clips holding that shield. They look the same from the outside, but some of the holes are a larger diameter. These fit the larger holes, but will not fit in the others.

It should. The openings are stretchy and you can easily fit different sized breast shields through them.

There are two sizes... Stage 1 and 2. The lines on the side of the nipple are more slanted for size 1, and almost straight vertical for size 2. There is a huge difference in flow between the two, so I can only assume that is your issue. If you look carefully there is also a number on most of them. My package came with some of both.

I may have ordered a different size than the one you are asking about. They don't seem to separate them.

Yes! The kit is standard fit to all Ameda breast pumps, including the Ameda Platinum model.

Unfortunately, we cannot replace items with other items in the kit. These kits are designed by and put together by the manufacturer and we cannot remove and replace items.

I didn't have that particular brand of pumping bra but I used it with my homemade pumping bra( I just use a sports bra with holes cut in it) and it works. It is a little trickier to get the flange through the hole because it is attached to the valve piece, unlike the medela flanges that detach from the valve portion, but I was able to do it with a little bit of wiggling. If the hole on the bra is very small with no give it might be difficult, you might have to cut the holes larger or get a different hands free solution.

Nope. It's just the three parts shown in the picture on the box. The part that connects to the breast shields, the silicone insert thing and the back piece that you screw the bottle onto. Nothing is adjustable.

You don't need new connectors to change the shields! The new size will just pop right onto the plastic connector that you screw into the bottles.

The 24mm (Medium) size shields come with the pump. having the correct size shield is a big part of getting good flow from the breast. i started off with the mediums but I purchase my own Large size shields at Babies R Us and it made a huge difference.

Honestly, the 24 mm shields don't work with MOST breasts. However, there is a great aftermarket product that does work with the Avent Isis pump and every pumping mom should own anyhow. www.pumpinpal.com (no, I do not own the company -- just a satisfied customer!) The shields fit into the Avent shields and they actually "engulf" more breast tissue than a standard shield so you'll find you get more milk anyhow. Highly, highly recommended. I get so much more milk with the Avent Isis/Pumpin Pal combination than even with a rented Medela Symphony and the Pumpin Pal Super Shields. The Avent Isis is SO worth it -- you just need to buy the aftermarket shields (also, get a Simple Wishes bra!)
