Prosthetic Nipples Care and Cleaning


Handle Perks gently to avoid tearing and nail marks. Store prosthetics out of direct sunlight/uv and keep covered or inside your Proform Perks tin to keep them free of dust and debris. Perks can be cleaned with warm soapy water and air dried (see : “Adhesive Application & Removal” if you are removing adhesive. Adhesive should be removed with Skinister Perks Adhesive Remover, soap and soapy water or rubbing alcohol will not remove adhesive). The top of your Perks Prosthetic Nipples can be lightly dusted with Talc/Baby powder to help keep them clean and prevent dust etc. from sticking to the silicone.

Applying Adhesive


Step 1
Make sure the back of the synthetic nipple is clean and free of dirt, debris or old adhesive. Instructions for removing old adhesive is below.

Step 2
Apply 1-2 drops of Perks Adhesive into the center of the well on the back of the nipple while supporting the prosthetic in your other hand. Spread the adhesive quickly with your finger, brushing from the center of the nipple all the way to the edge or use a circular motion to move adhesive around and move it out toward the edges. It is important to work quickly as once the adhesive starts to become tacky it will become difficult to spread. Once a thin layer of adhesive has been evenly spread over the back of the nipple, place the nipple with back/adhesive side facing up and allow the adhesive air dry for 5 minutes before applying to skin.

  • Be careful not to use too much adhesive, a few drops will be sufficient. Too thick of a layer of adhesive will cause a poor bond with your skin or breast form and some of the adhesive could end up running over the edges of the prosthetic to the front side, which should be avoided.

Step 4
Gently push piercing through nipple to hole opening on the opposite side. Be mindful of where the end of the piercing is, it may require redirection or steering to get it to come out the correct location on the other side. Be careful not to angle piercing down or up so that it comes out crooked or in an unintended location. The piecing should not go through and appear on the back side of the prosthetic.

Step 5
Once open end of piercing is through the other side, screw the end cap/ball back on (make sure threads are aligned) to secure piercing in place.

  • Do not twist or pull piercing once it is in place as it can tear the silicone.
