Niplette™

For ﬂat or inverted nipples

Inverted or non-protractile nipples aﬀect up to 10% of women causing psychological distress and making breast feeding diﬃcult for mother and baby. The suckling action of the baby should draw out the nipple. If not, the Niplette™ is a si mple, comfortable solution that can help. The device makes it possible for women with ﬂat or inverted nipples to comfortably breastfeed without the need for invasive surgery*. It consists of a transparent nipple mould with a sealing ﬂange, attached to a valve and a syringe port.

When the use is recommended

Ideally, the Niplette should be used before pregnancy and be worn in 8-hour periods per day or night*. If breasts are not too sensitive i t can also be used in the ﬁrst six months of pregnancy to achieve a permanent correction or after the birth of the baby, for a few minutes before each feed. The Niplette will suck the nipple out enabling the baby to latch on easily and help establish breastfeeding during the ﬁrst few days. The permanent cosmetic correction can then be eﬀected once breastfeeding is over, i f this is the case the Niplette can be applied again from time to time.

Gentle sucking action

The cup is held over the nipple areola with one hand and air is withdrawn using a 5 ml syringe so that the ni pple can be sucked into it. The user is in control of the suction and can pull on the nipple as ﬁrmly as comfortable. When the nipple has been pulled out the user after carefully separating the syringe from the valve can continue with their normal activities and wear the Niplette discreetly i nside the bra. The Initial usage is encouraged as much as possible*.

Proven clinical success

Clinical trials* have been carried out on the Niplette proved success in achieving a permanent correction to ﬂat or i nverted nipples, whether the condition existed since puberty, or was as a result of breast reduction surgery. Provided they had not undergone breast surgery, pregnant women who had been concerned about breast feeding all went on to breast feed successfully. A permanent correction is normally achieved in between one and three months of continuous use.

Additional information

Niplette will not function once milk ﬂow comes in fully. However by then baby will have become used to succesfully latching on to the nipple.
