Product Information

So, these things work. After washing them, attach the syringe, rub a little water along the rim, place on your nipple, hold in place with one hand and pull the plunger to the desired suction. They will stay on. I just put a bra on over the niplettes, and they stay in place for hours. I have tried sleeping in them though, and even with a bra, I manage to dislodge them. Many people know that they have inverted nipples, but aren’t clear on how inverted their nipples are. During this time, your nipples may turn red or feel achy. In most cases, this happens because the nipple is being forced out. This may also make the actual piercing more painful.

But if you are VERY committed and will do anything to breastfeed, this can work. Grade 2: This grade means it may be more difficult to pull out the nipple than a grade 1 inversion. When released, the nipple retracts inward. Alexander JM, Campbell MJ. Prevalence of inverted and non-protractile nipples in antenatal women who intend to breast-feed. Breast. 1997;6(2):72–8.Kramer MS, Kakuma R. Optimal duration of exclusive breastfeeding. Cochrane Database Syst Rev. 2012;8:CD003517. https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD003517. I would highly recommend this product to assist with breastfeeding. But you need to consider some things. Here is my story: If you do decide to get your nipples pierced, note that taking the jewelry out may cause your nipples to invert. To prevent this, avoid leaving the jewelry out for extended periods of time. Pros: What usually looked just flat now fills out readily to the touch or with change in temperature. Initially after treatment, both nipples stay perky. No loss of sensitivity. Very simple to use. At your appointment, remind your piercer that you have inverted nipples. They’ll likely want to make the room colder to help draw out the nipple. Your piercer may also use nipple clamps to help pull the nipple out.

While still attached, the nipple and areola are both lifted from the breast and sewn into a protruding shape. Terrill PJ, Stapleton MJ. The inverted nipple: to cut the ducts or not? Br J Plast Surg. 1991;44(5):372–7.

It’s important that your nipples are completely drawn out before piercing. If they aren’t, your nipples may invert even after the jewelry is in place.

Grade 1: Placing your thumb and index finger on the areola and pushing or squeezing gently can pull out the nipple. The nipple will often stay out for some period of time. Stimulation or breastfeeding can also draw the nipple out. While standing in front of a mirror, hold the areola on each breast between your thumb and forefinger. This change of mind return policy is in addition to, and does not affect your rights under the Australian Consumer Law including any rights you may have in respect of faulty items.Once your nipples are completely out, your piercer will use a gauged needle to thread a piece of jewelry through the nipple.

We will randomly allocate eligible women to one of two parallel groups (experimental and control) in a 1:1 ratio according to a computer-generated random sequence. An independent statistician will prepare a set of sequentially numbered opaque sealed envelopes of the allocation group according to the generated random sequence to preserve randomization concealment. A participant’s group allocation will be revealed after verifying that the inclusion/exclusion criteria are met, and after written consent is obtained on the first day postpartum. This will avoid any selection bias introduced by the investigator knowing the allocation of the next subject.

Eligible subjects are healthy pregnant women, at or above 18 years of age, with grades 1 or 2 inverted nipples. Inclusion criteria are gestation at 37 weeks or more, intention to breastfeed, and residing in Lebanon for 6 months after delivery. We will exclude women with grade 3 inverted nipples, previous breast surgery affecting the breast anatomy, high risk pregnancies, medical conditions that may interfere with breastfeeding, including a critical maternal condition, newborns with congenital malformations such as esophageal atresia, cleft lip, and/or palate, and women choosing artificial milk as their preferred infant nutrition. Women with term twin gestation will not be excluded. Recruiting process McGeorge DD. The “Niplette ”: an instrument for the non-surgical correction of inverted nipples.

We will also administer the Postpartum Quality of Life instrument, and collect data on the infant’s weight at month 1 from the infant’s health record. The eversion of the nipple will also be assessed by the research assistant during this visit. Binns C, Lee M, Low WY. The long-term public health benefits of breastfeeding.

With my second baby, my baby was delivered and was breastfeeding within a minute! This is thanks to this product and Medela SoftShells(tm) for Inverted Nipples. You may only experience inversion in one nipple, or even different grades of inversion in each nipple. On the first day postpartum, the following information will be collected: exclusive breastfeeding (yes/no), use of artificial milk (number of feeds in 24 h, justification), sore nipple (yes/no), pain while breastfeeding (yes/no), compliance with the use of the syringe technique before each breastfeed (experimental group only), and the use of other conservative methods to pull out the nipple (in both groups).
