In many cases, reconstructive nipple surgery is not the best choice, primarily due to these reasons:

• The reconstructed breast skin may be too tight or damaged by radiation thus not suitable for ANY additional surgery.
• In many cases, a long time needs to pass until the nipple reconstruction surgery can be performed, since the breast has to be fully healed.
• Both the reconstructed nipple and the tattoo are not durable. In many cases the reconstructed nipple collapses and the tattoo starts fading after one year
• With reconstructive nipple surgery there is a chance of nipple necroses (the reconstructive nipple dying due to poor blood supply).

Perky Pinks prosthetic nipples were thoroughly tested by women before being introduced to the market. The prosthetic nipple & adhesive were tested to ensure that it is non-irritant, nontoxic and non-reactive. In all cases, the prosthetic nipple & adhesive successfully passed these tests. The medical-grade adhesive is FDA licensed, cruelty free and vegan. Up until now, our prosthetic nipples have achieved high levels of customer satisfaction in several categories with very few reports on skin irritation or allergic reactions. However in the unlikely event that you experience an unusual skin reaction, immediately stop use and seek medical attention.

It would be rare to have a skin irritation. Our adhesive and remover liquid is formulated for sensitive skin. The adhesive supplied has been carefully tested by independent labs for safety. However we do encourage women with sensitive skin, radiated skin or thin skin over implants to use shorter first time wear to verify skin condition. If you notice skin irritation, discontinue use. Contact your doctor if it doesn’t resolve or gets worse. We appreciate you letting us know if you experience any difficulty with skin sensitivity.

For most women, the adhesive holds for several days without retouching (…and for some even more than that). If you feel the adhesive doesn’t hold as well as expected, please try the following steps:

1. ALWAYS wipe the skin area with isopropyl (rubbing alcohol) very thoroughly and vigorously to leave the skin as clean as possible. Let this thoroughly dry before applying the nipple. It is not highly recommended, but you can rub the backside of the prosthesis with a little bit of rubbing alcohol to make sure that all excess oils are removed from the prosthetitc nipple.
2. Apply the adhesive to both sides to be bonded – on the skin area as well as on the back side of the nipple prosthesis. The adhesive will dry in seconds so work fast and thorough. Carefully press the 2 surfaces together – it will be extremely tacky so you must have care in placing these properly on the first contact. Apply pressure on the nipple prosthesis now placed on the skin.
3. Afterwards check that the edges are firmly placed onto the skin and sealed so that water won’t come in underneath the prosthesis when showering. If the edges are not sticking firmly on the breast, just touch up with adhesive and re-apply pressure on the edges again.

Please note Pink Perfect holds no liability for any side effects which may occur due to improper adhesive usage or allergic reactions to our adhesive or remover liquid..
Since the adhesive provides a strong bondage for a long period, it is advisable to take the prosthetic off every two weeks or so for a day or two to let the breast skin breathe & refresh.

Our prosthetic is provided with an FDA registered medical adhesive which has been fully tested with our prostheses during normal day-to-day activities. The adhesive is waterproof and can hold the prosthetic for up to several days (depending on your skin’s PH level and moisture level.) When you feel your prosthetic has become loose, you can apply a bit of adhesive on the loose edges using your application brush supplied with your kit or you can take it off with the remover solution, clean it, spread a new layer of adhesive and reapply it. You can do it as many times as you like.

Please ALWAYS make sure that the prosthetic nipple is COMPLETELY SEALED with adhesive underneath the edges of the prosthesis and use the remover solution when removing the prosthesis!

Please note, our new remover solution must be placed in the microwave for 30sec (to liquify).

How do I apply prosthetic nipples

Of course! Our prosthetic is safe to use in water thanks to our waterproof adhesive. It will stay secure and firmly against the breast and won’t move when doing normal water activities such as swimming.

If you follow the steps on how to apply the prosthesis nipples correctly, the prosthesis on average lasts around 4-5 days before any touch up for the edges is needed (which only takes a few seconds). For some women it will even last longer than that, it all depends on your skin’s PH level and how naturally oily your skin is.

That being said the adhesive is extremely strong. You will never have to worry about Perky Pinks nipple prosthesis simply just falling off as a special remover needs to be used to remove your Perky Pinks prosthesis.

Since our adhesive provides a strong bondage for a long period, it is advisable to take the prosthetic off every few days or so for a day or two to let the breast skin breathe & refresh.

It depends on how well you look after your prosthetic, how much adhesive you use, if you always use the remover solution etc. The prosthetic in combination with our adhesive can last anything from 3 to 14 months. After our research we have learned that women prefer a very strong hold of the prosthetic, our adhesive provides exactly this and is dependable.

The prosthesis will undergo wear and tear as time goes by, but will still be wearable. Women also vary greatly in their preferences. Some might want to purchase a new pair every 4 months, but the prosthesis will still adhere well.

Please always take care when removing and cleaning your prosthesis. Always use the remover liquid provided.
