I would prefer one not affiliated with a company that manufactures them :) I am totally confused by mothers that feel they need a 15mm flange or an array of flanges in different styles.  My general opinion is that if a mother feels comfortable using a flange that her nipple does not expand horizontally and rub against the sides of the flange and draws in some areola then it should do the job.  However, that is just what I’ve been going on for the last 20 years.  I look forward to hearing any new perspectives.  The amount of breastfeeding products in general is confounding to me.  Oh well.
