Clinically proven success

In a study at Queen Mary’s University, Roehampton, London, 22 female patients who were considered for surgical treatment (duct divisions) for their inverted nipples were fitted with the Niplette. In every case, the Niplette effectively corrected inverted nipples (even in those patients with deeply inverted nipples) without the need for invasive surgery*.

Ideal for use before pregnancy

Ideal for use before pregnancy

Ideally the Niplette should be use before pregnancy. However, if breasts are not too sensitive it can also be used in the first six months of pregnancy to achieve a long lasting solution. Alternatively, mothers can use the Niplette for a few minutes before each feed in the first few days after delivery. This will pull the nipple out so the baby can latch on more easily.
