Hi everyone,
so I got fitted for my amoena prosthetic nipples last week and was absolutely delighted with the results. I could look in the mirror without being disgusted and they really helped my body image. However, on Saturday I put on a new bra and when I removed it the clothing dye had stained my nipples (and my breasts) black. I have washed my nipples to no avail, it seems to have stained them. Has anyone any ideas on how to get rid of the staining? I have ordered new ones (believe it or not they have a Black Friday sale) but I’d love to fix these so I can wear them while I wait. Even improve them slightly!
Thanks,
Helen
Hi Would going back to the cause of the problem help. You don't say if this comes from your bras, what you were wearing or anything else. I have had breast reconstruction and kept my nipples and so cannot help any further.
Good luck with tracking down the problem
