Remember, Buddy is for external use only.
How to Use The Buddy
Step 1: Lift up your breast.
Step 2: Find the line that separates the bottom of the breast tissue and your torso. Place the Buddy just below the line / fold, against your torso.
Fun Fact: this line is called the ‘Inframammary Fold’!
Step 3: Lower your breast on top of the Buddy.
The Buddy’s silicone outer should stick to your skin unaided from the friction generated between the underside of your breast tissue and your torso.
Tips & Tricks
Make sure the Buddy doesn’t touch your areola / nipple area as this may impact the baby’s latch.
For best results, make sure The Buddy and your skin are dry.
The Buddy can be used with or without your chosen breast support.
Cleaning & Care
The Buddy is made from 100% silicone and is best washed under running water. You can use cold, warm or boiling water. The Buddy can also be cleaned in your steriliser (both UV and steam).
For best results, make sure The Buddy and your skin are dry before use.
Purchase one of our organic bamboo muslin cloths to dry your Buddy. They also double as a fantastic sweat towel or spill cleaner!
Keep your Buddy in the free cotton canvas drawstring pouch provided for protection. Or better still, purchase one of our neoprene bags to store your Buddy for easier access.
