The Haakaa Silicone Nipple Correctors (also labelled as Haakaa Silicone Nipple Aspirators) are a simple suction tool designed to gently draw the nipple outwards before a feed, giving your baby an easier surface to latch onto. If you have flat or inverted nipples and latching has been tricky, these correctors may help by temporarily shaping the nipple in the moments before breastfeeding.
Mothers' nipples come in many shapes, and while some protrude enough for an easy latch, plenty of women have flatter or inverted nipples that benefit from a little help. Each corrector is made from 100% non-toxic silicone and works with a squeeze of the dome or sides to create gentle suction over the nipple. It's a low-fuss, patented design that packs down small, and each set includes two correctors plus a portable carry case so you have one on hand wherever you feed.
How to use
- Pinch the sides or compress the dome of the corrector.
- Centre and place it over your nipple.
- Release your grip, allowing the suction to draw out your nipple.
- Repeat as needed until your nipple is ready for latching.
Haakaa recommends using the correctors for a few minutes before breastfeeding. You can vary the suction strength by adjusting how firmly you pinch the sides or dome, so you stay in control of what feels comfortable.
How it works
- Gentle suction: Squeezing the dome and placing it over the nipple creates a light vacuum that draws the nipple outward.
- Adjustable pressure: The soft silicone lets you dial the suction up or down by changing how hard you pinch before placing it.
- Temporary shaping: The effect helps in the moments before a feed — results are not permanent, so the correctors are used again before each feed.
Cleaning and care
Wash before and after each use. The correctors are dishwasher safe, but hand washing in warm soapy water and rinsing and drying thoroughly is recommended. To sterilise, use a steam steriliser or boil in water for 2–3 minutes. Use only a soft-bristle brush or soft sponge, as hard scourers may scratch the surface, and avoid bleach-based cleaners or tablets. Check the product regularly and replace it if it shows any signs of damage.
Best For
The Haakaa Silicone Nipple Correctors are a good option for parents who:
- Have flat or inverted nipples and want to make the nipple easier to latch onto before a feed
- Prefer a simple, silicone tool with adjustable suction they can control by hand
- Want something portable, with a carry case, to keep in a nappy bag
Persistent latching difficulty, ongoing pain or feeding concerns are worth discussing with a lactation consultant or your healthcare provider, as a correcting tool addresses nipple shape rather than the many other factors involved in feeding.
Disclaimer
The correctors must be removed from the nipple before feeding your baby. Results are temporary and need to be repeated before each feed. This product is not a toy — children can choke on small objects if left unattended, so keep it out of reach and stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
