If you’re breastfeeding and experiencing nipple pain, soreness, or cracking, you may be wondering: what are Silverette nursing cups and do they really work?
As the founder of Silverette USA and a mom who personally used Silverette with both of my children, I want to answer this question from real experience, not just theory.
Silverette nursing cups have helped thousands of breastfeeding moms recover faster, prevent nipple damage, and continue their breastfeeding journey comfortably.
What Are Silverette Nursing Cups?
Silverette nursing cups are small, anatomically shaped cups made of 925 sterling silver that are worn directly over the nipples between breastfeeding or pumping sessions.
They are designed to:
-
Protect sore or cracked nipples
-
Support natural skin recovery
-
Reduce friction from bras and clothing
-
Help prevent infection during breastfeeding
The Original Silverette cups are reusable, chemical-free, and safe for breastfeeding moms.
How Do Silverette Nursing Cups Work?
Silverette nursing cups work by using the natural properties of silver.
Silver is widely used in medical settings because it is:
-
Antibacterial
-
Anti-inflammatory
-
Naturally soothing to damaged skin
When worn between feeds, Silverette cups:
-
Create a protective barrier over the nipple
-
Support skin recovery
-
Reduce irritation and bacterial growth
Many moms report noticeable relief within 24 to 48 hours, especially when dealing with cracked or bleeding nipples.
My Personal Experience Using Silverette Nursing Cups
I’m Italian, and in Italy, Silverette nursing cups have been used by breastfeeding moms for decades. They are not a trend, they are a trusted postpartum essential.
I used Silverette with both of my children.
After giving birth to my daughter, I experienced severe nipple damage during our very first night in the hospital. I applied my Silverette cups, and within five hours, my bleeding nipple had healed significantly and the pain was dramatically reduced.
That moment changed my breastfeeding experience, and is one of the reasons I am so passionate about educating moms on what Silverette truly do.
Who Should Use Silverette Nursing Cups?
Silverette nursing cups are designed for breastfeeding moms who want to protect sensitive nipples and improve comfort between feeds. They are especially helpful for first-time moms, pumping moms, and moms experiencing nipple soreness or sensitivity during breastfeeding.
Silverette cups are commonly recommended by lactation consultants and are often chosen by moms who prefer a natural, non-chemical alternative to creams. Many moms also use Silverette nursing cups preventively, wearing them early in their breastfeeding journey to reduce friction and discomfort.
For many breastfeeding moms, Silverette nursing cups provide added comfort and support during challenging moments, helping them feel more confident continuing to breastfeed.
Are Silverette Nursing Cups Worth the Price?
One of the questions we hear all the time is, “Why are Silverette nursing cups so expensive?”.
It’s a fair question.
The original Silverette cups are made from certified silver and produced in a medical facility in Italy, where they’re held to very high quality standards. They’re also designed to last: many moms use the same pair for more than one baby. Unlike creams or disposable products that need to be repurchased over and over, Silverette are a one-time purchase.
Because of that, many moms tell us they actually end up spending less overall. Instead of trying multiple creams, pads, and treatments that don’t always solve the problem, they find Silverette to be a simple, long-lasting solution that fits easily into their breastfeeding routine.
What Makes Silverette Nursing Cups Different?
Not all silver nursing cups are the same.
Silverette nursing cups are:
