Pigeon is the most well-known Japanese mother and baby brand in China. Unlike other companies that focus on "Made in Japan", Pigeon sells its products in China from local sources, and the nipple protectors are made in the Jiangsu factory. The global unified PQS standard ensures the consistency of product quality.
 
The small size is a major feature of the Pigeon nipple protector, and the smallest M size is one of the few products on the market that is suitable for small 11mm nipples, which is also very suitable for premature and newborn infants. Pigeon has three nipple protectors, all of which are made of silicone rubber for safety and comfort. They are butterfly-shaped, half-moon-shaped, and pacifier-shaped, and the fit will be affected due to the gradual increase in the contact area with the breast, and the requirements for the breast shape will also increase in turn.
 
The butterfly-shaped silicone rubber nipple protector is only available in China, and it is the most inclusive of breasts. The incisions at both ends leave a part of the skin, which brings the baby closer to the mother's skin and is less prone to rejection. Compared with the butterfly-shaped Avent nipple protector, the 4-hole design has a larger flow rate, and the price of 2 pieces is 58 yuan.
 
For the time being, the half-moon shape and the pacifier type are only for the Japanese market, and the fit is not as good as the butterfly shape. It also uses a 4-hole nipple opening, and the half-moon-shaped flow rate is between that of the same shape Yanase and Medela, and the official website price is 842 yen per 2 pieces. Compared with Yanase's pacifier-type nipple protector, Pigeon lacks a non-slip ring and is inferior in terms of fit, and the price of 1,188 yen is not advantageous in terms of cost performance.
