This gauge
is designed to take a measurement of the diameter
(thickness or width) of your nipple. This is only a
relative measurement that will allow you to monitor
when your nipple starts to change, due to
re-lactation. Your design and
materials may vary in any way that suits your
situation. Mine was made from the cardstock that would
make up any common cereal box. The sizes are all
uncritical, except the Vee cut into the center of the
stock. If you lay out the dimensions listed in the
drawing, and cut the two long sides of the Vee slot very straight, it
should work fine for you. Of course, you can always
leave a corner square and draw gradients on the side of
the card to be used as a measurement if you are keeping
tabs on the length of your nipples. Or you may want to
just send this image to a printer and print it on heavy
stock paper, and then cut it out.
When you use the
gauge, read it by looking at your reflection in a
mirror, so you can look at it straight on. It is better
if you ask your partner to measure for you. |
