After about 2 weeks postpartum, I got one clogged milk duct, then next thing you know.. I had so many clogs. I was advised by every health care professional and the internet to massage and use heat and drain, but using my hands was so tiring and ineffective. I went on 2 different antibiotics, helping the clogs, but the only way to really get them out, was by manual compression and kneading. My sister bought me this roller about a month ago and after the first use I was amazed. My breasts felt softer and less lumpy. I was able to drain faster and stimulate the milk production. I still had to use my arm power but it was less strain than it was to do it with my hands. I really like the fact that it has two balls, due to the fact that when you press down, the clogs can move left or right, so having more surface area covered with this product helped. I still have one large clog in the outer lower portion of my breast tissue (which is really awkward to reach), but other than that, I have been able to loosen the deep clogs and breastfeed/pump it out. It also works out the superficial clogs really well. But..... just the other day, it broke!!! I feel so dependent on this product because it has helped me so much with emptying my breasts and the clogs that would appear if I take a little longer than usual to empty. I bought another one recently, but I wished that it was a little more durable for the amount of pressure I need to apply to get the stubborn clogs out. I actually like this so much, I am now incorporating this product with all my friends baby shower gifts. Overall I definitely recommend.
