is too  small.  
 
~~~ Hi Angela,
 
Medela makes a 27, 30 and 36 mm...you can check their website or try a  
local store that rents and sells their products.

Hi Judy,

I believe Angela is talking about the Medela Nipple Shields and that you are talking about the sizes of the Medela Breast Flanges available.  I searched Medela to be sure and the 24mm is the largest size Nipple shield that is available.

I wish there were larger nipple shields.
