The Philips Avent SCF157/02 Comfort Breast Shell Set provides two different shell functions: ventilated shells that help keep fabric away from sensitive nipples, and non-ventilated collection shells for catching leakage during a feed or pumping session. Soft backing cushions sit against the breast and help the shells fit discreetly inside a bra.
Ventilation, Protection and Short-Term Collection
Ventilated shells include openings that allow air to circulate while reducing direct friction from clothing. Collection shells have no ventilation holes and are intended to catch milk that leaks during feeding or expressing. Assemble the correct shell with the soft backing and verify that the pieces are fully joined.
Philips advises wearing breast shells for no longer than 40 minutes because prolonged pressure may affect milk ducts. Collected milk should be handled only according to the instructions for the specific shell and recognised breastfeeding hygiene guidance. This product is not a treatment for pain, infection or feeding difficulties.

Recommended Uses
Recommended for short supervised periods when clothing friction is uncomfortable or when leakage needs to be collected during feeding or pumping. Select the ventilated or collection shell for its stated purpose.
Care and Safety
Wash and sterilise the shells and backings before first use and after every use. Empty collection shells promptly, prevent overfilling and ensure each shell is assembled securely before placing it inside the bra.
Do not wear for more than 40 minutes continuously. Stop use if pressure, pain, redness or skin irritation occurs and seek guidance from a qualified healthcare or breastfeeding professional when discomfort persists.
Why Choose This Philips Avent Product?
SCF157/02 offers both ventilation and milk collection in one reusable set. The benefit is flexibility with less disposable waste; the limitation is that shells need careful cleaning, correct selection and short wear periods.
