I’m sorry I can’t remember what I did but I did have large breasts as well. I only did it for a short time. Found this online though…
To determine the best flange size for you, you’ll need to measure your nipple. Take a tape measure or ruler and measure the diameter, or width across, of your nipple in millimeters. Do not include measurements for your areola, the larger part around your nipple. Select your flange size based on your measurement. Common flange sizes relative to nipple measurements are listed below. If your pump manufacturer doesn’t offer one of these sizes, look for the next closest size.
If you measure up to 17mm, you’ll fit in a 21mm flange.
If you measure up to 20mm, use size 24mm.
If you measure up to 23mm, select size 27mm.
If you measure up to 26mm, use 30mm.
If you measure up to 32mm, use size 36mm.

I’m very large also and use a 24mm which works well. I don’t pump often but would see a lactation consultant so they can help you figure it out the best.

My lactation consultant told me it’s not about the boob size but the nipples/areola because if it’s too big and sucks up your whole tit with it it’s actually quite painful lol 😆
