Starting point: Totally inverted nipples. Never seen them out in my life.
5 nights later: Flat/mildly everted nipples. Will come out a bit when cold or pinched but come down again in a few hours. The time they are 'out' for is steadily increasing - used to be five minutes, then ten, then two hours...!!!
The prognosis is looking' good for only wearing 8 hours a day!!!
Baby lotion is a necessity if you plan on using this product, especially if you are starting with truly inverted nipples. Not only does it make it more comfortable, but I find that it seems to help the process as well, perhaps by keeping the skin moist?
Also, this thing is making my nipples SUPER SENSITIVE. Don't know whether it's just that they've never been out before, or because the nerves are going wacko from all the stimulation/relocation, but for all the time they are 'out', they cannot bear to be touched. I hope this changes once they are permanently out.

I found that if you cut 2 holes in a old bra the niplette won't fall off easily. But make sure the holes are wide and exactly where the niplette is placed. so customize a few old bras!!!

My breasts are what they would call 'sagging' so I can only wear the Niplette a certain way. But what a great invention. I wonder how old the Niplette has been going as I'm sure I could have breast fed my kids.

I think if you have actual inverted nipples, the Avent Niplette will work better. However, I have flat nipples, which it just isn't helping at all. I am deeply deeply disappointed, as I hate my nipples. If you are like me, you should definitely try it, as maybe it will work for you, but unfortunately it hasn't for me.

I strongly recommend this to someone that is reluctant to buy it. It does work, but it must be worn consistently as recommended in the instruction booklet. There is a lot of helpful information about the product where I purchased mine online at Mothering From The Heart. They had the best price, and their shipping was super fast. They have a nurse on staff, and she was very helpful when I first started using the Avent Niplette, because I had so many questions. It is unfortunate that my OB didn't tell me about it, but it was recommended by a cosmetic surgeon!

If I knew the Aventi Niplette existed earlier I would have bought it then. I was really in doubt of what to do with my inverted nipples until I found out that there was a much simpler solution: the Niplette. The Niplette is not cheap but the results do make it worth to buy it. It does not hurt, I find that most important of all. You can still breast feed after using the Niplette. The Niplette streches the milk canal of your breasts, so it stays intact and that is a BIG plus! I could still do the things I always did even when wearing the Niplette, except for heavy duty physical action like : sports. I can recommend everybody to try it.

The best thing to do is to wear the Avent Niplette with medela soft shells for sore nipples. I found this very helpful, as it prevents the Niplette from falling off, and prevents it from being seen under clothes. It's also far more comfortable.

I purchased my Avent Niplette online at Motheringfromtheheart.com. Very fast shipping and great customer service!

After reading your review I am definately going to try the niplette. I am so hopeful that it works because I'm about to have another baby and I would love to breastfeed sucessfully this time. Also inspite of my partners loving words and encouragement I would still love to have normal breasts that I'm not trying to hide away all the time. Thanks for your great review and I will let you know how I go. P.S I had a quote on an operation to have my nipples corrected and it's $6500.00.

My step sister showed me the results after using the Avent Niplette. What a fantastic result! I am going to buy one too.
