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 breastfeeding for good. The
Niplette quickly corrects inverted nipples and has proven to be a permanent
solution for both cosmetic purposes and normal breastfeeding.

When can you use the
Avent Niplette?
 The Avent Niplette is suitable for
correcting inverted nipples which have developed as a result of hereditary
factors or during puberty.
The Niplette is suitable for patients
having had unsuccessful surgery to obtain cosmetic correction.
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.
 Instructions
for use (see diagrams)
1 Push the syringe
firmly into the open end of the valve.
2 Hold the
Avent 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.
3 When the nipple has
been pulled out, let go of the Niplette, hold the valve and carefully
separate the syringe from the valve.
You are now free to continue your
daily activities wearing the Avent Niplette. It is easily concealed under loose
clothing.
To remove the Niplette, push the
syringe into the valve to release the vacuum.
