Description
Silverette® Nursing Cups are a natural, effective solution for preventing and soothing sore, cracked, or inflamed nipples during breastfeeding. Made from pure 925 silver, these cups harness silver's well-known antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties-used in wound care for centuries-to promote healing without the need for creams, chemicals, or ointments. Worn between feeds, Silverette® Cups are safe for both mother and baby, comfortable to wear, easy to use, and reusable-one pair can last a lifetime.
Each cup is expertly crafted in Italy by licensed silversmiths and features a patented anatomical shape that fits comfortably over any nipple size without compression. Trusted by mothers, doctors, and obstetricians since 2002, Silverette® is the only brand in the world with this patented design.
Choosing the correct size is based primarily on areola diameter, as this is where the cups rest. The Regular (M) size is suitable for those with a bra size of C or smaller and an areola diameter of less than 4.6 cm. The XL size is best for those with a bra size above C or an areola diameter of 4.6 cm or more. If your measurements fall between sizes, or if you're pregnant and expecting changes in breast size, it's advised to size up. However, if you're using the Regular size and it's working well for you, there's no need to switch-even if technically your measurements suggest XL. Both sizes are effective.
To use Silverette® Cups, simply express a few drops of breast milk into each cup after nursing and place the cups over the nipples like a cupping glass. Keep them on between feeds and remove them before breastfeeding. Do not use any creams or nipple treatments in conjunction with Silverette®, as this can compromise their effectiveness. The cups can be worn under a nursing bra and used with absorbent breast pads, which should be placed over the cups.
For cleaning, rinse daily with warm water to remove any milk residue. To restore their shine, polish with a paste of baking soda and water. Silverette® Cups are nickel-free and their effectiveness does not diminish over time, making them suitable for reuse with future children.
