When should Medela Silicone Breast Milk Collector cups be used?

Milk collection cups can be used during feedings to collect any milk leaks, and also between feedings to prevent wet spots.

Just remember to remove them every two to three hours and let your breasts air dry, as this prevents any excess moisture from damaging your nipples.
