  • Patent number: 6419548
    Abstract: The breast shield is concave in shape, preferably molded of a soft flexible material with a central opaque portion and edges which can easily expand and contract to facilitate conforming the shield to the breast of the wearer. The central portion of the shield is opaque and relatively thicker than the outer periphery of the shield . It covers the nipple and the aureola of the breast to prevent it from being seen through the sheer material of brassieres and outer clothing. Preferably, the shield has generally radially-extending gaps in the outer periphery so as to make the shield conform easily to the shape of the wearer, and to be less visible and more comfortable to the wearer. A centrally located pad is provided, in one embodiment, to enhance the comfort of the wearer. A pair of the shields are fitting into a bra and worn by a person for modesty purposes. A kit is provided which includes a plurality of shields and replacement pads and/or adhesive to use the shields without a bra.
