Last year when I was in the USA I came across a product which we
Australians laughingly referred to a "nipple stoppers".  They are
silicone devices worn in the bra with a plug that pushes the nipple
in to stop leaking.  I have never got a mother to try the pair I
bought, although they are an interesting curiosity.  The
manufacturers claim they work well but I fear they might lead to
blocked ducts, mastitis, thrush, etc.  Do they? I would be interested
to know whether any lactnetters have used them or know mothers who
have used them?
