O-Cal-ette Nursing Cups for New Mothers

For the Comfort and Convenience of the Nursing Mother. O-Cal-ettes are to be worn inside the bra, simply slip the O-Cal-ette Nursing Cup over the breast, making sure the nipple protrudes into the opening. This will assure good positioning, no slipping and a smooth, natural look under clothing. Also check to see that the ventilation channel is at the top of the breast. T his exclusive feature allows air to enter, keeping the nipples dry and comfortable, which will also help to heal delicate nipple tissue.

Dear Pharmics team, I am not the kind of person that writes letters just for the fun of it, but I decided to write you because I am deeply grateful for your wonderful product "O-Cal-ette" nursing cups. I had my first baby last December, and I was so frustrated trying to feed my baby, because I hated the fact of being wet all the time. Disposable and cloth pads just didn't work, and I was about giving up breast feeding when a good friend told me of your plastic cups and she even let me borrow hers to try them. I couldn't believe the difference! I was happy and DRY all day, and they are so comfortable that I even sleep with them on. I've been recommending them to all my friends that are pregnant and there are quite a few! I just couldn't live without them and besides, they also saved me a lot of money, since nursing pads are about $4.00 a box and they last 1-2 weeks, so I also have to thank you for "saving" my budget. With sincere thanks, a delighted customer.

"Dear Pharmics, You are a lifesaver! Thank you for sending me the O-Cal-ette Nursing Cups. They went to a new mother in need! Please send one more pair to another friend of mine in Petersburg, Tenn. and let her know they are from me. Thanks again"

"To the Manufacturer of O-Cal-ette Nursing Cups: I want you to know what an excellent product you have brought out for breast feeding mothers. It has truly made my work in our O.B. Department much easier and has certainly helped our breast feeding moms. Thanks again for a good, useful product, just wish I would have thought of the idea."

-Wilson Memorial Hospital Sidney, Ohio

"I have experienced the birth of four children in six years. I have attempted to nurse all of them, only once have I failed. My first went real well. I did all the necessary preparation (nipple exercise, etc.) For the first 2 weeks I was very sore but then I started to heal and all was well until I weaned him at six months. My second was the most successful in terms of length. I breast fed her for 10 months. Then came my third child. I did all the necessary nipple exercises taking care not to over do it or do too little. Well, I was sore for the first two weeks as with the others, I kept thinking "soon I will be able to breast feed without clinching my teeth." Well I was wrong. From day 2 or 3 to 3 months I nursed thinking that soon my nipples would heal and all would be fine. I ended up taking her straight to the bottle one night when I couldn't take it any more, so she was essentially a bottle fed baby. Then came Sarah. The only red head of the bunch. After I delivered her one of the nurses gave me a set of O-Cal-ette Breast Shields. I did a little nipple exercising just like with the others, but in this case I not only breast fed her for 7-8 months (she weaned herself at that time) I did not have any discomfort at all during the course of time that involved any kind of nipple soreness, cracked or otherwise. I believe in all honesty that if I had had the O-Cal-ette breast shield after I had my third child I would have been able to enjoy the leisurely and less expensive way of feeding my baby. Thank you so very much,"

-Mrs. Paula W. (a very pleased customer)

"To whom it may concern: On October 17, 1992 I gave birth to my first child, Olyvia, and I decided to go through with my decision to breast feed her. I had a very difficult time trying to get her to latch-on and when my milk came in I became so swollen and engorged that she couldn't get a hold at all. I was in so much pain that I stayed up all night crying. The next day my sister-in-law told me about the O-Cal-ette Nursing Cups and I bought some. This was the best purchase ever! Now I'm able to breastfeed my baby and I don't have any pain in doing so. I'd like to thank the inventor of these nursing cups...... THANK YOU! The O-Cal-ette nursing cups are a god send!"

-Sincerely, Kenda L.
