A Cure for inverted nipples.

Inverted nipples are a source of frustration and embarrassment for many women whether for cosmetic reasons or if causing difficulties with breastfeeding. This condition is thought to affect around one in twenty women to a greater or lesser extent. The cause is usually related to breast growth exceeding the speed of development of the Lactiferous Ducts which connect to the nipple from within the breast, this can hold the nipple back so that it appears to be pulled inward into the breast.

The Inverted Nipple is evident as a small slit or hole at the location of the nipple. It is normally possible to pull the nipple out manually but in some cases the degree of inversion is so severe it is not possible for the nipples to become even partially erect. Flat or inverted nipples can present a special problem for women wishing to breastfeed as this condition can make it difficult or even impossible for baby to Latch On. If the degree of inversion is very severe it may not be possible to affect a cure other than by surgical means, in these cases it is highly recomended to consult with your GP and arrange a consultation with a recomended cosmetic surgeon. If one or both nipples have become inverted Out Of The Blue or over a period of weeks or months where previously the nipples were not inverted, we recommend that you consult with your GP without delay - sudden inversion can indicate a condition requiring prompt medical attention.

The good news is that a complete cure can normally be affected for most women simply by using the fabulously successful Niplette. Worn discretely concealed within the bra, the Niplette works over a number of weeks to reverse the Inversion and create a Normal nipple which can respond to Cold and Stimulation to become erect. Used as directed, the Thimble Like Cups are attached to the nipples and using a syringe (as supplied in the kit), the air is drawn out causing the nipples to be pulled into these small chambers, the syringe is then detached completely. Users may find it necessary to slowly build up to longer wearing times in order to get used to wearing. Most users will find that a successful cure is evident after approximately Two months. If after time one finds that the nipples start to revert back to thier inverted state it may be necessary to use the Niplette again for a few more weeks.

If looking to fix Inverted Nipples with a view to breastfeeding, it is recommended to start as soon as possible in order that there is enough time to affect a complete cure. It is not recommended to use the Niplette in the later stages of pregnancy because the breasts are developing in readiness for lactation and can produce small amounts of fluid which may prevent the Niplette from working.

Using the Niplette

 The Nipple is pulled out into the small cup using the supplied syringe. Once the syringe is disconnected, one can wear a regular bra with the nipple chambers (Niplette's) concealed using the supplied bra pads.
