Mom & Dad’s Nipple Factory: Review

6th May 2023

Justin Johnson had a rather conservative and Christian upbringing. His parents are very different people with his mum, Randi being more outgoing and sociable whereas his father, Brian is more introverted and speculative. Brian is somebody that sees the world in a different way though and as his social skills weren’t the best, he spent his time trying to find a solution to problems. This often meant that he subjected his five children to his inventions which included such things as a device which would limit their screen time and that’s just how life was.

Then one day Randi was diagnosed with breast cancer, the children by this point were all but grown up and reacted in different ways. Some came together with their parents while some stayed away out of fear of seeing their mother in a weakened state.

Thankfully Randi survived though and tried to return to a normal life after her breast surgery, but something wasn’t quite right. So, Brian got to work and changed not only the life of his wife, but many women across America.

Mom and Dad’s Nipple Factory is a documentary by Justin Johnson (going by Justinsuperstar) about a subject very close to his heart. Being the inventor that his father was, he saw that his wife had a problem when she lost a nipple after her surgery and created a prosthetic which could be used as a replacement. This not only helped Randi feel whole again, but became a booming business as the Johnsons provided nipples for women all over the country.

Despite its subject being at such odds with a conservative Christian lifestyle, Mom and Dad’s Nipple Factory is incredibly light-hearted. Knowing what his dad has done for many women to boost their confidence, it feels like the perfect subject for a documentary.

Handled with such care and good humour, the documentary fully explores how something as taboo as a nipple can bring normalcy to women who have gone through such difficult times.

Justin’s family is big as well with four siblings all with their own reactions to their parent’s business and through interviews with the family, the clients and experts, it feels like a fitting tribute to such an unlikely hero.
