Silverette Nursing Cups

ANTI-INFLAMMATORY
Silver is known to have anti-inflammatory benefits that can provide relief from skin experiencing inflammation, soreness or swelling. This is great for mothers whom experience cracks and soreness usually from the result of incorrect latch positioning between mum and baby.

ANTI-BACTERIAL
Silver is known to have properties that help prevent the growth and spread of bacteria. Silverette ® has been a great time saver for mothers to help them heal in between feeds without the worry of sterilisation.

ANTI-FUNGAL
A thrush infection is quite common and can happen if your nipples are sore or cracked. Silver has anti-fungal benefits can prevent fungal growth. You can use Silverette® simultaneously with prescribed treatment by medical professional that supports the recovery of nipple thrush.

ANTIMICROBIAL
Silver is known to have natural antimicrobial benefits that can help minimise the presence of bacteria, mould, and fungi. Using Silverette® may offer a greater level of protection by continuously inhibiting the growth of microbes on surfaces for very long periods of time.

The cups are worn under your nursing bra. If you plan on using absorbent breast pads, simply place the breast pad over the Silverette® cups and your bra will hold everything in place.

Express a couple of drops of milk into each cup and place the cup directly over the nipple, securing it with your nursing bra.

Before breastfeeding, remove the cups and clean your nipples with warm water or a water wipe. After feeding, rinse the cups with warm water, pat them dry, and repeat step 1 in between feeds.

As always, we recommend professional advice if pain or latching issues persist.

POLISHING & CLEANING
Over time, Silverette® cups may develop a yellowish patina. This is a normal result of the copper in the 925 silver alloy reacting with moisture and air. The cups remain safe and effective, and the discoloration is simply evidence that they are genuine sterling silver. To restore their shine, make a paste by mixing one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda with a few drops of water. Gently rub it over the cups, then rinse and pat them dry.

Silverette® cups naturally resist bacteria and fungi, so routine cleaning is simple. After each feed, rinse them with warm water; this is usually sufficient for hygiene. You can also use a mild hand wash soap if you prefer, but avoid harsh detergents, bleach, sterilising tablets or abrasive pads. If tarnish appears over time, follow the polishing instructions above using a bicarbonate of soda paste.

Silverette® nursing cups come in two sizes – Original (often called “regular”) and XL. For years the Original was the only option, so it became the “one size fits most” choice. Since the XL launched in 2020, many mothers have found that size to be the most comfortable fit.

Whichever size you choose, the cups work the same; the difference is purely the diameter, which affects comfort—not performance. The height (space between nipple and cup) stays constant. To accommodate breast growth during pregnancy and when your milk comes in, the manufacturer suggests adding a cup size to your current bra size. The Original is recommended if your adjusted bra size is C or smaller and your areola is less than 4.5 cm across. The XL suits D cups or larger and/or an areola 4.5 cm or more.

If your measurements fall on the borderline or you’re still unsure, it’s best to opt for the XL—slightly larger is usually more comfortable.

GIFTING
If you’re buying a gift and don’t want to ask about sizing, the XL is considered the safer “fits most” choice.
