Abstract:

A non-surgical device used to duplicate a protruding or non-protruding nipple and areola containing sebaceous glands (Montgomery follicles) and sweat glands, creating the most natural-looking nipple and areola possible. The device will function as a nipple prosthesis, nipple enhancer or a nipple protector. At the user's discretion, the vertex can be shaped in several polyhedral angles, such as rounded, squared and pointed. The nipple portion may be custom sized by cutting for either erect, non-erect, rounded, squared or have a pointed look or it may be left in its original size. The nipple portion of the device can be eliminated to give the user a smooth appearance and provide a nipple protector from nipple friction that causes chaffing, sun damage and protect sensitive nipples. The areola will be thin and flexible and may be custom sized by cutting to fit the user's personal size preference or it may be left in it's original size if preferred by the user. The areola of the device will have custom cut lines, thus allowing the user to have a guide when custom sizing the areola to the user's specifications. The user can also cut the device to their own measurement, not relying on the custom cut lines. It may adhere to the natural breast, chest, nipple, synthetic breast, breast enhancer, breast prosthesis or it can also be placed into or on top of a brassiere or any type of clothing or lining in clothing by means of double-sided adhesive circle or by means of adhesive of the user's choice. The device will be American made thus aiding the economy by producing jobs for American people through manufacturing, packaging and disturbing the product or device.
