The Original Silver Nursing Cups, Nipple Covers for Breastfeeding Essentials, Pure 925 Silver Nipple Shields

These silverettes are an absolute life saver when you have a baby that breastfeeds. They protect your nipples and the silver helps keep bacteria away. These are the original silver nipple covers and are much nicer quality than the cheap knockoffs going around.

When I say I was literally ready to GIVE UP on breastfeeding completely, I mean it. I was awake crying in the middle of the night, I was so miserable and exhausted. I was in so much pain and it was getting to the point where the nipple butter wasn’t even working anymore. I thought it was it, I went to my 6 week postpartum checkup and told my OBGYN all this. She recommended these (she had the same problems with the dry cracking and the intense pain with her babies). When I say this was my last ditch effort- if this didn’t work I was DONE. I was so skeptical too I was like these are so expensive and they’re what some little metal discs? Okay, I have NO IDEA how these work, but I’m currently convinced it’s actual witchcraft because they revitalized my poor gals and brought me back from the brink. I still have pain/ soreness when my baby latches on, but Lordy, nothing at alllll like I was!!!! This was the Hail Mary and it WORKED! Despite all my doubts and other home remedy attempts! Bonus points that you can clean them with soap and water super easy and if you leave just a tiny bit of breastmilk in them when you put them on, you will have faster relief too because my doctor said it will moisturize and sooth naturally. I will say, I can’t sleep with them on because they dig in around the ring of the whole unit if I lay on my chest at all, but it’s such a minor tiny thing and they are so freaking amazing I’m still giving them 5 stars.

I got these about four weeks post-partum on the recommendation of my awesome IBCLC (International Board-Certified Lactation Consultant). She said they're big in Europe, and other Lactation Consultants she knew had been raving about them. They are pricy, but I was desperate -- my nipples were badly damaged from early latch issues, including several layers of tissue damage on one side (and missing tissue), bleeding wounds on both sides, plus persistent redness and soreness. Nursing and latching was going better, but my nipples just would not heal fast enough for me to not be in agony every time. I tried everything - Medihoney, Dr. Jack Newman's APNO by prescription, Earth Mama Angel Baby nipple butter, coconut oil, olive oil, exposing them to air, keeping them moist, saline rinses/soaks, sunlight, nipple shield (which promptly filled with blood when I tried using it). Nothing worked and I was almost ready to quit despite all the hard work we had done and the improvement in latching technique. So. Desperate, I got these babies. And within hours my nipples had gone from bright red and painful looking to light pink and almost normal looking. Hours. I couldn't believe my eyes. I showed my husband and he agreed they looked like new nipples. The pain relief was also immediate though I was still not pain-free. But after a few days of wearing them, my nipples had made huge progress in healing. I never took them off after that, wore them 24/7 (and still do at 10 weeks postpartum), and my nipples healed almost completely. (I say almost because the one with the many layers of tissue damage had some permanent trauma damage that left me with vasospasms about half the time, so it still sometimes hurts...but nothing like before, obviously.) These Silverettes saved my nursing relationship. Ever since, I have recommended them to every nursing mom I know who is struggling in the early days. And with future babies, I will start wearing them 24/7 maybe even before the birth. Some details: For care, I wash them twice a day with baking soda paste. I wear them with a bamboo breast pad over them to catch leaks (and make the Madonna-nipple look less prominent). They do fill up a bit on the non-nursing side if you have a big letdown, so watch out for that (or purchase a Milkie milk saver). The rims do cut a little bit into your areola if they are not positioned just right or if the rim is on a Montgomery Gland (little bump on the areola). When this happens I just adjust them to be more comfortable. My nipples seem a bit dry sometimes wearing them, and maybe a bit greyish like the silver is changing their color. But I don't care about any of the inconveniences. These things save my life. You'll have to pry them from my cold, dead hands if you want me to stop wearing them!!!! They basically saved my nursing relationship with my baby. That said, does anyone else who has worn them have tips on when you can stop wearing them, if ever? I've taken them off a couple of nights here and there when stomach sleeping, but otherwise I'm nervous to do so.

If you're breastfeeding, get these. Regardless if you have suffered nipple trauma or not, these are great for preventative reasons too. Anyway, here's my opinion and experience being a new mummy. -I thought breastfeeding was natural and easy. Wrong. I quickly had cracked and bleeding nipples that escalated into an even worse injury. How could it get worse? My sweet daughter, who I quickly named my little snapping turtle, had chewed off layers and layers of skin. I didn't even know this was possible. It looked like I was missing parts of my nipple. So now I'm laying in bed at 3am, shuddering at my daughters hunger cries, bc I knew I had to feed her, but was having to lay myself down at the breastfeeding alter to do so. For three weeks I suffered and cried. In that time I have tried every trick in the book... creams galore, saline soaks, APNO cream, etc. nothing was helping me heal bc it I literally had huge, open wounds (yep, ended up getting mastitis too). Finally, my mum found these cups. These little miracle cups. The first day I put them on, I could not only put on a shirt, but also felt relief bc I could see healing take place. It was as if the clouds parted and angels started singing. I have only taken them off to feed her and will continue to wear them throughout this journey bc it's preventing future problems. Since my daughter was severely lip/tongue tied and had surgery to fix it, still takes time to retrain her mouth and get a good latch. So even though her latch isn't perfect, I can still breastfeed with ease bc these cups help prevent injury while still helping me heal. I know that is a super long rating, but i feel so passionate about this product I wanted to share my whole story so you can get an accurate picture of how valuable this product is. So you might be wondering if there's any cons. Yes, sometimes they do leave a slight ring from compression. Small price to pay in my opinion and regardless of compression, I still find them very comfortable to wear. Added bonus, it protects my nipple from rubbing on my bra or nursing pad. Also, other reviews say you look like Madonna...Maybe if you wear super thin shirt with a bra that has zero padding. But I honestly haven't had that experience. I just wear them with my nursing pads in between my bra and cups and you can't tell. So that's it. The only two possible cons. So invest in these. I'm telling you, it saved me and allowed me to continue to breastfeed.

I love these so much I could cry. I breastfed for an entire year and now that it’s over, these are the one thing I could not have survived without. I don’t know what miracles they perform, but I had never had cracks or pain. They were so comfortable, so well fitted for the bra size I wore, and tucked right into a nursing bra if I put a pad behind it and that protected from leaking and pain. I couldn’t wear them to work because they’re a little too thick and noticeable under a shirt but they’re amazing to protect you, work better than any nipple butter, and were the best purchase I made.

I got a pair of these prior to the birth of my first baby and was excited to try them. They didn't end up being the total game changer I thought they would be, but the cooling effect and barrier they provided helped enough through the bad days that I felt they were worth the price.

Postpartum game changer! Breastfed with both of my babies. My first postpartum nursing experience was rough to start, my nipples were cracked and bleeding. I cried many times in pain and saw a lactation consultant multiple times who confirmed baby’s latch was good. My second baby I bought these after seeing other BF moms talk about that. OMG. I will forever gift to any friend that is planning on nursing! Easy to throw in your bra after nursing babe. You can use a little breastmilk or boobie cream then cover with these babies! I slept with them on for days (washing each day). I truly believe this helped my sore nipples heal much quicker! I’m a 17 mm and these fit great! About the thickness of a quarter, not bulky or heavy. I even wore them out of the house on multiple occasions. It may look like your nips through your shirt but easy to conceal with a padded bra

These are AMAZING for breastfeeding moms! I have been wearing these for 6 weeks nonstop since my milk came in and they are worth every penny. The only times I take them off are when breastfeeding, pumping, or showering- after that I rub a little breast milk around in the nipple, let it dry, then pop these back on. When breastfeeding, the nipples can be very sore- even my arm brushing across them in the shower hurts- but once my silverettes are on I feel nothing. I have eczema so I was very nervous about the possibility of cracked, bleeding nipples since my skin already has issues without a baby feeding off them, but with my silverettes the only issue I've had was soreness due to an improper latch. After reading the sizing guide, I purchased the XL as that's where my measurements fell and they just cover my whole areola. A few things to note:1) I always wear them with a bra as they will pop off eventually without anything holding them on- they're not really suctioned on. 2) wear these with large nursing pads. Since milk collects in the silverettes before eventually spilling out, small nursing pads don't really have the surface area to contain the spill. 3)they do show through thin nursing bras (like ones meant for sleep and others that don't have more structured padding) but so do nursing pads. I've found that for me the best way to combat lumpy looking boobs is to either wear a more structured nursing bra with thicker padding or to simply add a bra pad ( the kind that are often removable in bras) in between the bra and the nursing pad and/or silverettes. 4) they're very thin and lightweight, but durable. I've dropped mine many times on my hard tile bathroom floor and still, no dents! I think ALL nursing moms should have these and they are worth more than their weight in silver! HIGHLY recommend!! UPDATE after 2nd child: Wore them occasionally with the 2nd breastfeeding child. I must be more calloused this time around because I didn't wear them constantly. Still found them useful when my nipples were sore due to improper latch. There are now a few dents from dropping them, but they still work fine. My conclusions: they're hands down essential for first time mom's. 2nd time mom's don't need them unless they want them for the occasional soreness or didn't breastfeed the first time. Those are my thoughts!

Este accesorio me ha salvado mi lactancia. - proteje los pezones de la ropa - cicatriza después de cada toma -Los pezones siempre están en perfecto estado - La leche acumulada se queda dentro y no mancha la ropa Recomiendo mucho este producto

Silverettes saved my breastfeeding journey! My boobs/nips were ruineddd when breastfeeding my first baby & it made me give it up after a few weeks due to such extreme pain. Fast forward to my 2nd baby, and I used silverettes & breastfed her for a year. It honestly meant there was no nipple pain at all!!! I don’t know what kind of magic it is haha but it honestly healed the nips so perfectly between every feed. Genuine game changer! They’re expensive, but so worth it!!! Buy them!

Se las recomiendo 100% gracias a estas copas pude dar pecho, te restaura el pezon muy rápido
