83 0081 0375 #1 NipletteTM GB 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 breast feeding for good.The Niplette quickly corrects inverted nipples and has proven to be a permanent solution for both cosmetic purposes and normal breast feeding. N You are now free to continue your daily activities wearing the Niplette. It is easily concealed under loose clothing. N To remove the Niplette, push the syringe into the valve to release the vacuum. Important advice N 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. N Used regularly, the nipple should fill the mould within approximately three 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. N Some individuals may notice a small amount of discharge from their nipples, this is entirely normal. N If required the Niplette can be cleaned in warm, soapy water. DO NOT sterilise. When can you use the Niplette? N The Niplette is suitable for correcting inverted nipples which have developed as a result of hereditary factors or during puberty. N The Niplette is suitable for patients having had unsuccessful surgery to obtain cosmetic correction. N 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 in the last two months of pregnancy. DO NOT use on inverted nipples developing later in life without medical advice. If in doubt consult your doctor. We're here to help...

Instructions for use (see diagrams) Push the syringe firmly into the open end of the valve. 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. When the nipple has been pulled out, let go of the Niplette, hold the valve and carefully separate the syringe from the valve.
