Silverette Nursing Cups

Silverette® are the original silver nursing cups, designed to soothe, protect and support healing of sore nipples during breastfeeding or pumping.

Each cup is crafted in Italy from pure 925 sterling silver (92.5% silver and 7.5% copper) - a combination known for its natural antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties that help support skin recovery.

Worn comfortably between feeds, Silverette cups create a protective environment that can help prevent cracking, reduce irritation and support healing throughout your breastfeeding journey.

Unlike creams or balms, Silverette is a natural, reusable solution that requires nothing more than a few drops of your own breast milk.

Silverette is the original silver nursing cup, trusted by healthcare professionals and mums around the world.

Key differences include:

• Pure 925 sterling silver - not plated, coated or trilaminated metals
  
• Clinically tested in a maternity hospital setting
  
• Developed by medical professionals with maternal care expertise
  
• Over 25 years of use worldwide supporting breastfeeding mothers
  
• Recommended by midwives, doctors and lactation consultants
  
• Crafted in Italy, where strict regulations ensure the highest quality silver
  

Because Silverette is made from solid sterling silver, it maintains its natural antibacterial properties and will not wear away over time.

Some silver nursing cups now entering the market are made using composite or trilaminated metals, meaning a thin layer of silver is bonded over cheaper metals.

This can lead to:

• silver coating wearing off over time
  
• exposure to inner metals
  
• reduced antibacterial effectiveness
  

Silverette cups are not plated or composite - they are crafted entirely from 925 sterling silver, ensuring consistent quality, safety and performance.

Using Silverette is simple:

1. Place a few drops of breast milk into each cup
   
2. Position the cup over your nipple
   
3. Secure it inside your bra between feeds
   

The cups sit comfortably against the breast and can help prevent, protect and soothe soreness, irritation and blisters caused by breastfeeding or pumping.

To find your size, measure your areola (the darker area around your nipple, not the nipple itself) at its widest point, side to side.

Up to 4.6 cm → Small
4.7 – 5.2 cm → Medium
5.3 cm and above → Large

Between two sizes? Choose the larger one for a more comfortable fit.

All sizes use the same 925 silver, so effectiveness is the same size just affects how well it fits.

For additional comfort, Silverette offers the optional O-Feel™ ring.

Made from medical-grade silicone, this soft ring fits around the Silverette cup to provide extra cushioning for particularly sensitive or engorged breasts.

• hypoallergenic medical-grade silicone
  
• moves comfortably with your body
  
• easy to clean with soap and water
  
• can be sterilised if preferred
