Milk leaking from pumps

I've been pumping for 5 weeks and in the last few days milk is appearing on the outside of the pump once I take them off. Is this to do with flange size, positioning or something else? I usually stick them in my bra and am sat down, so not too much movement going on, and it's not been an issue before.

I’d love to know too. I have both Elvie and these pumps and I always have milk on the outside and it’s forever causing me to change bras etc. mine tends to “fall out” of the flange as I take it off no matter if I lean forward etc first

This is just whatever comes off your nipple when you take them off

It's what hasn't been pulled in yet, I take them off leaning forward then decant straight away. Sometimes mine is what is still leaking out after the pump has turned off

It happens to me if the pump turns off and I wait 10 mins before emptying. I think my boob is still leaking when the pump is off. Started emptying it as soon as it turns off and haven’t had the problem since.
