Supple Cups

About

Supple Cups have been designed to address flat, shy and inverted nipples.

For many, Supple Cups may be used for purely cosmetic reasons, but around 28-35% of women who are pregnant for the first time have issues breastfeeding due to flat, shy and inverted nipples.

Supple Cups help stimulate the nipple into a protruded state, by gently pulling the nipple into the cup, in an attempt to gradually loosen the nipple tissue. This helps nipples stay erect for longer, which improve a baby’s ability to latch, and with regular use can also help create larger nipples.

Supple Cups are clinically proven: The Use of Supple Cups for Flat, Retracting, and Inverted Nipples, Julie Bouchet-Horwitz, Clinical Lactation, Volume 2, Number 3, 2011, pp. 30-33(4).

Supple Cups have been recommended by many leading lactation experts in the following books (to name a few):
i. Selecting and Using Breastfeeding Tools
ii. Counseling The Nursing Mother: A Lactation Consultant's Guide
iii. Breastfeeding And Human Lactation
iv. Northwest Natural Childbirth
v. Supporting Sucking Skills In Breastfeeding Infants

Supple Cups are also used in many of the top birthing centers.
