Product Description

Philips Avent provides a simple solution for inverted nipples which is effective and easy to use. Flat or inverted nipples can be a potential problem for women wishing to breastfeed. Through gentle suction the Niplette pulls the nipple out into a small plastic thimble-like cup. Clinically provenThe Niplette: an instrument for the non-surgical correction of inverted nipples DD McGeorge FRCS (Plast). British Journal of Plastic Surgery, December 1993. Non-surgical – uses gentle suctionIn a matter of weeks of continued wear, the nipple will stay permanently erect. Ideally use before becoming pregnant. However, you can also use in the first six months of pregnancy to achieve permanent correction. Any nipple inversion which is not congenital but has occurred recently should be immediately checked by a doctor before the Niplette is used. Use is not recommended in the last trimester of pregnancy.

I found out about this product a few years ago by a plastic surgeon that I went to for a consultation about my invertated nipple. I was told by this surgeon to try the Niplette before I try any procedure because he had customers that found success with it. I left his office and kept the idea of the Niplette in the back of my mind. I didn't buy the Niplette right away because at the time, I was married and my husband didn't mind it. When I got divorced I made the decision to buy it and try it out. What a revalation! I wished that I had bought it the day I found out about it. It is so simple to use and I saw results after 3 days of using it. I am extremely pleased with this product and recommend it to anyone that has an inverted nipple. I had little to no discomfort. I used it at night and also when I went to work. The only thing that I would recommend is using a bra with a thicker pad to mask the bulge of the Niplette. This is a great product and it is definatly worth buying!!! 5 stars all the way.

4.0 out of 5 stars breastfeeding help, August 24, 2009

My nipples are flat and I couldn't breastfeed my firstborn, I pumped and bottle fed for 12 months instead. The medela nipple shields didn't do anything to help either. We are now TTC our second child and I don't want to go through that again. I have only been using this product for a week or so but have already noticed improvement. I am hoping to correct the problem permanently in a few months. I gave this product a 4 star because it's hard to keep the nipplette on, it falls off with a bra or shirt over the top. I discovered that if I use lubricating jelly the attachment/suction is much better. I also discovered that if I wear the "medela breast shells for inverted nipples" over the nipplette, it stays in place much better. You can see that something is underneath my shirt though, so I only wear it at home. I will probably do another review if this product helps me to breast feed!

I have had inverted nipples for over 40 years - always embarrassed, hard to feel comfortable starting physical relationship, had just decided to get plastic surgery, saw reference to this and said what the hell - it's cheap and might work. I saw results in two days and now after three weeks, the nipples will stay out or will get pebbled if touched - I never thought it would happen. Think all gynos should recommend this - unless you have inverted nipples you have no idea what a psychological hindrance it is. There was some pain and sensitivity discomfort at start, but gets better. No idea if permanent, but girls I don't care - just stick on periodically for tune-up :-). Good luck - hope it makes you "perky" as well.
