NATURALLY PREVENT & SOOTHE NURSING NIPPLES USING 925 SILVER.

Silverette® is designed to create an environment to promote soothing and healing of nursing nipples. It is the silver ions that naturally occur in 925 silver which provides mothers the antimicrobial, anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-fungal benefits.

The success of Silverette® the Original comes down it’s effectiveness. Having been tested by mothers, studied by neonatologists, midwives and paediatricians, this is why it’s the best selling breastfeeding product of it’s kind, being sold in over 28 countries.

Silverette® come in two sizes – regular and XL. Feedback from mum’s around the world is that the XL size is now the size-that-fits-most.

Regardless of size, they will work as intended. The only difference is the comfort factor. It is only the diameter of the cup that varies. The height is the same (the space between the nipple and the cup).

If you are looking at the sizing chart and are right on the cusp, go XL. Keep in mind that your breasts will grow throughout pregnancy and even more so when your milk comes in, so go for the size you think you will be post-birth/when you start breastfeeding. This is the period when you’ll be wearing the cups the most.

Recommended that Silverette® should be used during the lactation period for preventative measures. It is designed to be used in between nursing sessions, and is recommended to be worn continuously until breastfeeding is established without any pain or damage.

It can be used pre and postnatal as a preventative measure for sensitive nipples, as well as for nipples that have been damaged from expressing milk.

How to use

The cups are worn under your nursing bra or even if you plan on using absorbent breast pads, just place the breast pad over Silverette cups and your bra will hold everything in place.

Express a couple of drops of milk in each cup and place the cup directly over the nipple, securing the cup with the nursing bra.
Prior to breastfeeding, remove the cups and clean the nipples with warm water or a water wipe. Once feeding is completed, rinse the cups with warm water, pat dry and repeat step 1 of the process in-between feeds.

Cleaning & Safety

Silver is a natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial metal that also contains anti-inflammatory agents. As a result, a quick rinse with warm water between feeds is sufficient to clean the cups.

Natural oxidisation may occur over time when using the Silverette® cups. This is when the silver develops a brass yellow colour. Rest assured this is normal and it is important for users to know the cups are still effective and most importantly safe to use for mum and baby.

To remove the tarnish, make a paste using a mix of bicarbonate of soda (one teaspoon) with a few drops of water. Rub the paste over the cups, rinse and pat dry.

Although not required, the cups can be cleaned using mild base soap (recommended handwash soap).

Do not use any harsh detergents, bleach-based agents, sterilising tablets or hard scourers to clean the cups.

925 is the purest solid silver that can be moulded into a shape. There is a more pure level of silver (999-1000) but it is too soft and would be considered as silver plated and not solid silver.

925 silver is an alloy of 92.5% silver and 7.5% Copper. Pure silver is malleable, so copper is added to ensure the cups can be molded into the anatomical shape. Silverette® is safe for mum and baby and is nickel free.
