Page: 3 / 14

Inverted or flat nipples are the result of
short lactiferous (milk bearing) ducts.
The Niplette

™

is designed to lengthen

these ducts by the application of gentle
suction. It is painless and easy to use.
Until recently, the only effective method
of correcting inverted nipples was surgery,
a costly solution that ruled out
breastfeeding for good.The Niplette
quickly corrects inverted nipples and has
proven to be a permanent solution for
both cosmetic purposes and normal
breastfeeding.

When can you use the Niplette?

◆

The Niplette is suitable for correcting

inverted nipples which have developed as a
result of hereditary factors or during puberty.

◆

The Niplette is suitable for patients

having had unsuccessful surgery to obtain
cosmetic correction.

◆

The Niplette is NOT suitable for

lactating breasts, however there is no harm
in using the Niplette for a few minutes to
draw out the nipple and help your baby
latch on.

NB:

Use is not recommended during

the last trimester of pregnancy

DO NOT

use on inverted nipples

developing later in life without medical
advice. If in doubt consult your doctor.

Instructions for use

(see diagrams)

❶

Push the syringe firmly into the open

end of the valve.

❷

Hold the Niplette over the inverted

nipple with one hand and apply suction
by pulling the syringe with the other.
Pull as firmly as is comfortable. Do not
pull too hard – a small smear of baby
lotion at the base of the Niplette will
improve the seal and suction.

❸

When the nipple has been pulled out,

let go of the Niplette, hold the valve and

carefully separate the syringe from the valve.

◆

You are now free to continue your

daily activities wearing the Niplette. It
is easily concealed under loose clothing.

◆

To remove the Niplette, push the syringe

into the valve to release the vacuum.

Important advice

◆

To obtain the best and swiftest results

the Niplette should ideally be worn as
much as possible during the day and
night and at the maximum suction
comfortable for you. One Niplette is
required for each inverted nipple. It is
possible to wear the device overnight
provided you do not sleep on your front
and it may be convenient to wear a loose
fitting bra.

◆

Used regularly, the nipple should fill

the mould within three weeks for most
individuals. If the ducts are tight this may
take between three to twelve weeks.
Continue to use the Niplette until the
nipple does not retract. Use of the
Niplette can then be reduced. Any initial
tendency to retract is easily overcome by
intermittent usage.

◆

Excessive suction force applied to the

nipple could cause bleeding to occur. Some
individuals may notice a small amount of
discharge from their nipples, this is entirely
normal. If you experience more discharge
or pain, decrease the amount of suction and
consult a medical professional.

◆

If required the Niplette can be cleaned

in warm, soapy water.

DO NOT

sterilise.
