- Non-surgical ? uses gentle suction
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.
Amazing,
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.

|breastfeeding help,
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!

|Happy with purchase,
I have been using this product for one month. I do not have inverted nipples, but they are flat. I am preparing for pregnancy and nursing and wanted to try the Niplette for this reason. My nipples are definitely larger, though not huge. They decrease in size if I do not regularly wear the product, but they seem to be permanently sticking out where before they were flat. I found some discomfort when I first began wearing them but it went away after a couple of days. I do have fluid leaking from my nipples when I wear these, but it is not painful or bothersome. I wear neosporin or vaseline to help tighten the seal when I wear the Niplettes. I wear them during the day because they do not stay on in my sleep. I wear them to work with a tight fitting bra. I experiment with different bras and tops so that the product doesn’t show through my clothes. I am able to wear them comfortably for several hours with many different shirts. I take a syringe with me in case the Niplette comes off during the day. When I get home, I take the Niplettes off and sleep without them. Sometimes I take a couple of days off wearing them to allow my skin to rest if my nipples seem too irritated. Overall, I find the product easy to use and comfortable and it does what it says it will do: enlarges my nipples. The other issues I can deal with because I know it is temporary. I will wear these for the recommended 3 months. One other thing, it helps to take the Nipplettes apart and wash and rinse them when the tubes fill with fluids.
