I purchased these at Baby's R Us because of the good reviews, but I have not had any luck with them. They didn't pull the nipple out far enough to make any difference, and the pressure on the nipple made me leak constantly. I would soak through a cloth pad in a couple of hours. They are suppose to have a reservoir to catch the milk, but your nipple must protrude a certain distance in order for the shell to work. My nipples were too flat, so I just ended up with wet, smelly breasts.
They are also very large and extremely noticeable - there is no way I would wear them in public.
I also think a previous reviewer got the medela shell types mixed up. This shell does not have a foam insert, and is hard plastic.

These are priceless. Buy them before you even give birth and use them immediately, before your nipples have a chance to get sore. Hopefully this will prevent pain when initially breastfeeding. A couple things to consider:
I always wore these with pads covering them, so I've never had a problem with them being obvious under clothes.
Do not wear them at night. The instructions tell you this, but my nipples hurt so bad I couldn't stand to have a bra or nursing pad rub against them so I wore them anyway. However, I sleep on my side, so that put pressure on the shell, which in turn put pressure on my breast in awkward places. I think (though I don't know for sure) this led to some blocked milk ducts.
Get these in combination with some Lanolin cream, and perhaps you will avoid the pain that so many mothers go through!

I don't know about it's use for flat/inverted nipples, but this product works well for sore nipples. My first month of breastfeeding has been like a roller coaster of pain. This is what I found helps my dry, bleeding, or cracked nipples: I use generous amounts of lanolin cream after EVERY feeding with Gerber cold therapy packs, topped off by these shells. The shells effectively keep air circulating and clothes from touching sore, cracked skin. They do look a little strange under your clothing if you wear tight shirts (I don't recommend them for you if you do). You can put a thick nursing pad on top of them to round it out. I like Johnson's nursing pads because they have a special indention inside for the nipple, and that gives a more natural look under clothing on the other side. I took off the ring on the back and just use the shell part, because I have large breasts with especially big areola. My only qualm with this product is that it is made of HARD plastic. I wish the back side was made of softer plastic or silicone, like bottle nipples. Overall, a great product that will keep me breastfeeding successfully!

The Hospital gave me these shells when I had my baby almost 4 weeks ago. They were a lifesaver! I probably would have given up on breastfeeding if these hadn't fixed my flat nipples and relieved pain from breastfeeding. It is kind of annoying that they collect leaking milk though - esp. when you're not prepared when you remove them - it can make a real mess. Otherwise, I loved this product and I would definitely recommend them over all other breastfeeding acessories for sore nipples.

I get very sore and can't go anywhere without them. u cant see them at all through my clothing (thought it might make me look a little larger on top.) i wish i knew about these earlier. its also great for leaking - the foam absorbs so well and then you have the cup to hold leaking milk. you can barely leak through with this. i would even use this just to prevent leakage!
