Silverette® are the original and multi-award-winning silver nursing cups, designed to help prevent and soothe nipple pain, inflammation and cracks from pregnancy, breastfeeding and pumping. One of those amazing new baby products that has truly earned its reputation for helping mums.
Made of 925 sterling silver, which is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, Silverette® allow your nipples to gently recover in between feeding/pumping sessions.
They are non-toxic, safe for mum and baby, easy to use and fully reusable. Plus, there’s no need to wipe your nipples before feeding and no creams or other nipple care products are needed.
See our advice and tips blog for more information.
HOW TO USE: Simply place Silverette® over your nipples, using your bra or nursing singlet to hold them in place. Wear them for a couple of hours at a time, in between feeding/pumping sessions.
We highly recommend taking a break from wearing Silverette® for a few hours each day/as needed, and letting your nipples air dry, particularly if you leak a lot. While a moist environment is conducive to healing and helps prevents cracks and cuts, excess moisture can irritate the nipples and surrounding skin and potentially delay nipple healing. Monitor the nipples and surrounding skin daily. If you have any concerns, please reach out to your Midwife, Doctor or a Lactation Consultant.
CHOOSING YOUR SIZE: To accommodate your growing bust as your pregnancy progresses and during milk production, add one cup size to your current bra size.
Original size – Adjusted bra size is C cup or less and areola measurement is less than 4.5cm
XL size – Adjusted bra size is D cup or more and/or areola measurement is 4.5cm or more
If your measurements are on the cusp, or you’re still unsure, choose XL. Purely from a comfort perspective, it is better to have them slightly bigger than slightly smaller.
If they are a gift, choose XL - it is the best 'one-size-fits-most'.

*IMPORTANT: While some irritation and discomfort from breastfeeding can be expected, especially as a first time mother, significant nipple damage should be investigated further. We recommend seeking the professional help of a Lactation Consultant to ensure the latch and positioning are correct and to ensure that there is no undiagnosed lip and/or tongue tie. If you seek professional advice, Silverette® nursing cups will help to heal any existing damage while the underlying cause is being determined.
