And...
- you like doing things naturally.
- you like things to be efficient and reliable.

Hand expressing milk
Hand expression is the most natural, most effective method of breast milk expression (other than breastfeeding a baby). It is literally as old as breastfeeding itself and easily beats modern breast pumps.
If you know hand expression, you know how satisfying it feels to express your own milk. All you need is something to catch your milk.
kindestCup provides the perfect shield and reservoir to catch hand expressed milk, even if it sprays and drips in every direction.
The ergonomic design can be used in comfortable upright or laid back positions and works right- and left handed.
Saving leaking breast milk
Leaky breasts can be messy. Why waste precious breast milk on your clothes or nursing pads?
kindestCup can be used as a hands-free milk saver to collect milk leaking from the breast, for example when feeding baby on the other side.
kindestCup has a nice, wide opening and compact shape that adheres to the breast, not just the nipple. This makes for an exceptionally gentle and secure latch.
kindestCup even works for side-lying nursing!
Cup feeding
Once you captured your milk, you or someone else can feed it to baby directly from kindestCup.
Cup feeding is completely natural for babies. Even newborns can do it! kindestCup has a soft, flexible rim that gently conforms to baby's tiny mouth and minimizes spills.
No artificial nipples, no nipple confusion.
Cup feeding promotes healthy oral-facial development and may also be beneficial for babies who get gassy or colicky from bottle-feeding.

Tap into the positive feedback loop
Hand expression is as old as breastfeeding itself. During hand expression the gentle, pleasant touch of your own hands generates positive feedback, which triggers and promotes the release of breast milk. kindestCup is designed to amplify this positive feedback loop and makes milk expression fun! With kindestCup, every amount of breast milk looks perfect. Because that's what it is!

Learning hand expression
Are you worried about being able to do hand expression? Hand expression is a learned skill but it's probably easier than you think! Here are some pro tips that will set you up for success:
- Pick a good time: practice hand expression when you're not in a rush. Try it just before a feed, when your body is ready to let go of the milk. Not right after a feed when your breasts are empty.
- Pick a good spot: practice somewhere where you can relax and be comfortable.
- If it hurts, don't do it: make sure your touch and pressure is gentle and pleasant.
- Explore your whole breast: try different areas, angles and directions to work the milk towards the nipple. Avoid pulling on your nipple.
- Don't get frustrated, get help. Trial and error is normal. If you feel like you're not making progress, seek out a local breastfeeding support group or lactation consultant for some one-on-one guidance.
