Hi Netters,

Instructions for A____ Niplette is "For Correction of Flat & Inverted
Nipples", 2 niplettes, 2suction devices, 1 instruction video cassette, made
in England, manufactured by Cannon Rubber Limited.  "The ""Niplette"" uses
the principles of tissue expansion to stretch and lengthen short breasts
ducts." recommended for the last two months of pregnancy.  LLL now carries
the Evert-It Nipple Enhancer.  I just ran across it in their 1997 Mid-Year
Catalogue. Has anyone used these things???  I still like Jan Barger's 12cc or
20cc syringe cut off.
