Silverette Nursing Cups - The Orginal Cup, Pure 925 Silver

Silverette®, also known as Breast Angels, offer a simple and natural way to care for tender nipples during your breastfeeding journey. Made from pure 925 sterling silver, these specially designed cups sit gently over the nipples between feeds, helping to protect delicate skin without the need for creams or ointments.

Silver is known for its naturally occurring antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. By providing a protective barrier, Silverette cups can help create a comfortable environment for sore, cracked or sensitive nipples to recover while continuing to breastfeed.

Reusable, easy to wear and beautifully simple, Silverette provides gentle support for breastfeeding mums when they need it most.

Top Features:

• Naturally antimicrobial: Silver is known for its natural antimicrobial, antibacterial and antifungal properties and has been recognised for its protective qualities for centuries.
• The original Silverette®: Silverette® nursing cups have supported breastfeeding mothers since 2002 and are widely recognised by mothers, midwives and maternity professionals.
• Expertly made in Italy: Every pair is handcrafted in Italy by fully licensed and experienced silversmiths.
• Genuine solid 925 sterling silver: Silverette® cups are made entirely from solid 925 sterling silver, rather than being simply silver-plated or coated.
• Made with high-quality materials: 925 sterling silver offers an ideal balance of silver purity and strength, making it suitable for creating durable, reusable nursing cups.
• Officially hallmarked: Genuine Italian silver items carry hallmarks identifying the purity of the silver and the manufacturer, helping to ensure authenticity and compliance with Italian silver standards.
• Comfortable, smooth design: Each cup is carefully handmade with smooth edges for a gentle and comfortable fit against the skin.
• Anatomically shaped for sensitive nipples: The discreet, slightly raised design provides space over the nipple, helping to avoid unnecessary pressure on already tender areas.
  Approximately 1.6 cm in height: The higher profile is designed to help prevent the nipple from becoming flattened while the cups are being worn.
• Helps reduce friction: The cups act as a protective barrier between sensitive nipples and clothing or nursing pads, helping to minimise rubbing and irritation.
• Helps prevent fabric from sticking: By shielding sore or sensitive skin, Silverette® cups can help prevent clothing or nursing pads from sticking to the nipple.
• No additional creams or lotions needed: Silverette® cups offer a simple approach to nipple care between feeds without the need for additional ointments or lotions.
• Reusable throughout your breastfeeding journey: Made from durable solid sterling silver, the cups can be cleaned and reused again and again.
• A simple and convenient choice: Easy to use and comfortable to wear, Silverette® cups can be incorporated into your daily breastfeeding routine.
• Designed with safety in mind: By eliminating the need for certain topical products, there is no concern about product ingredients transferring from the nipple to your baby.
• Trusted nursing support: Silverette® combines traditional knowledge of silver with thoughtful Italian craftsmanship to offer a practical, reusable solution for breastfeeding mothers.

Sizing:

• Small is recommended for mothers with an A–C cup size and/or an areola smaller than approximately 4.5 cm.
• Medium is ideal for mothers with a C–D cup size and/or an areola around 4.5–5.5 cm.
• Large is best suited for mothers with a D+ cup size and/or an areola larger than approximately 5.5 cm.
• If you fall between sizes or prefer a roomier fit, we generally recommend sizing up, as a slightly larger cup is often more comfortable during breastfeeding.
• If you’re purchasing Silverette as a gift and are unsure which size to choose, Medium or Large are typically the safest “fits most” options depending on the recipient’s build.
• No matter which size you select, your Silverette cups will still function effectively.

How to Use:

• After your breastfeeding session, leave a couple of milk drops in each cup and apply them directly to the nipple like cupping glass.
• Keep them on as much as possible between breastfeeding sessions.
• Remove cups and rinse nipples accurately with water before breastfeeding.
• Do not use any other nipple treatment in conjunction with SILVERETTE®: this could reduce or even compromise the efficacy of the product. 
• To clean SILVERETTE® make a paste using Bicarbonate Soda (you should find it in the baking section of any supermarket) mixed with a small amount of water, rub this mix on the cups, rinse accurately and dry.
