Breast Adhesive

Abstract

An adhesive for securing a nipple shield to a breast. The breast adhesive includes a flexible member, having a front side and a rear side, wherein the rear side can secure to both a breast and a nipple shield simultaneously. The flexible member includes U-shape with a first end and a second end disposed opposite one another, such that the first end and the second end are symmetrical about a vertical axis. An outer perimeter of the flexible member includes a plurality of curved flanges therealong that adhere to a user's breast. In operation, an inner perimeter of the flexible member is positioned interior to an outer perimeter of the nipple shield and the outer perimeter of the flexible member is to be positioned exterior to the outer perimeter of the nipple shield. In this way, the nipple shield is secured to a mother while breastfeeding.
