Silverette Nursing Cups, Postpartum Essentials, The Real Silverette, Medium

These silverettes have single handedly saved my breast pumping journey. We have a baby in the NICU so I’m EBP and I left my silverettes at home one time for 2 days and I was so raw and bleeding I cried and drove an hour and a half home to get them because they provide so much relief. Mine are a little bigger and cover areola as well but I think they fit perfectly because they prevent any irritation of the area. I put them in my bottle washer with the rest of my pumping parts and they come out perfectly clean every time. I thought I lost them once and immediately ordered a second pair because I really cannot live without these! They’re pricy but worth every single penny!

These things are truly life savers and I never write reviews about anything. They made my nipples feel so much better within a couple hours and ever since then I’ve been wearing them all day under my nursing bra. I feel like it’s just a great way to prevent any issues and protect my nipples on a daily basis. So worth the money!

These were a HUGE game changer for my nipples this go around!! I was hesitant to buy them in the beginning, mainly because of the cost. But after being in the hospital, my nipples needed some relief and I bought them during a 2am feeding. From the first time I used them, they provided immediate relief and comfort! Definitely worth the money!!

It really worked. I used it as my nipples were chapped and scabbed, and they were healed after two days using these little caps. I don’t use any nipple cream after having these.

These have been on my nips day and night since the moment they arrived. I just wish I purchased them with the plastic covers for the edges as sometimes if they move the edges can feel quite pinchy on boob skin and nipple

I really appreciate the XL size. It suctions naturally. Nice and light but thinner than other brands which is why I give it 4/5.

After my first week of breastfeeding I was very sore as my nipples began to crack, chafe, and one of them even began to bleed. No fun. While I think the price is pretty crazy I found these to be a good investment into my collection of breastfeeding must-haves. Realistically, I want women to know that this isn't some magical item that instantly heals your nips. It took several days to get back to a state where I didn't feel like my nips were going to shrivel up and fall off. Then approximately a week to where they looked normal again. I will say, however, within' the first day I did notice a difference. Also (and more importantly), while these are a great tool for anyone experiencing pain, injury, or simply preventing, it is not a solution! My breastfeeding journey with my first kiddo was rough to say the least and I wish I knew then what I know now with my second. If you are breastfeeding latch is so so SO important. There are plenty of videos you can watch for different holds and how to latch. Find what works best for you. But if you're struggling find a Lactation Consultant in your area, don't be afraid to ask for help. If you're pumping get fitted for the right flanges (I cannot stress this enough!). Don't just use the ones that come in your kit and don't just "deal" with the pain. I have completely painless pumping now and you can too. Edit Aug 2025: I'll be ending my breastfeeding journey this month and to anyone who is still reading this I wanted to add some tips: -I highly recommend getting a sanitizing nipple spray to go along with these. I had a few minor infections that cleared up within a week of using the shields and the spray together. Very helpful. -Hot showers at least 2 times a day helped ease soreness. But really take as many as you'd like. -I would wear them at night then alternate throughout the day on really sore days. Just remember to clean them. -I do not recommend wearing these while in public. They do show.

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!

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!

i had cracked, blistered, sore, bleeding nips for 8 weeks. i tried everything (creams, balms, salt water rinse) and nothing helped. i was in pain. doctors said it shouldn’t hurt but it did! a lot! (no ties or latch issues). i read about silverettes on reddit and was doubtful because they are just little silver cups, right? if prescription nipple ointment didn’t help, i didn’t think these could. i put off purchasing them until i literally could not concentrate or talk while breastfeeding because of the pain. i finally ordered them and although they are a little pricey i would have paid almost anything for pain relief. i was almost ready to give up breastfeeding. they are a little awkward to wear, and you definitely can see them through a padded bra with a tight shirt but they helped me immensely. within 2 days i could feel an improvement with pain. within one week i noticed my nips starting to heal. it has now been 4 weeks and my LO can latch without causing me pain. i can shower and dry off myself without the fear i’ll accidentally touch my nips with the towel. i still have some bad days when cluster feeding but silverettes are worth it. if you can relate at all, buy them. they saved my breastfeeding journey.

The healing is real! I use it all the time and it really keeps the nipples soft and moist, no sensitivity or irritation. I bought another brand for a lower price point, but still had some soreness that wouldn’t be fully healed even when I added breast milk. Don't do my mistake and go for Silverette from the start.

I tried medicinal pads, creams (some of them with honey), lanolin, ice. I was crying from the pain, my nipples got peeled of the outer layer of skin, it was horrible, it was making me so depressed, I was gonna give up. Last thing I decided to try before giving up was the silverettes. They're expensive, so I didn't want to buy them, but I got to that point where I was desperate and wanted to make breastfeeding work. I was skeptical, cause it's just a metal plate thing. I don't know how they work but they're like MAGIC. I put them on and felt such relief. Half a day in the healing was noticeable. I use 27-24 flanges and had to get the XL but they prevent my nips fromgetting squished and that was so crazy helpful. These things were the only thing that got me through the hard and painful part of breastfeeding at the start, until my nipples thoughened up. I would not be breastfeeding still if it wasn't for these! My daughter is 3 months old. I wish I hadn't spent any money on creams or pads or anything else! I wish I had just bought these from the start. They show theough the clothes so I don't wear them out, but thankfully due to pandemic I was just inside while I meeded them most. You can hide them with a frilly top or denim jacket perhaps. If you have a denim or thick fabric vest it will probably also work. Hope this review saves someone's boobs some pain :)

I bought these in the recommendation of several girlfriends and I am so glad I did! These were absolutely crucial in the early weeks of my breastfeeding journey. I started using them right away in hospital after the birth of my son, they helped so much with nipple pain and healing. They created the best barrier to prevent rubbing and milk pools in the cups to add to the healing of cracked and raw nipples. I’ve worn these basically 100% of the time and no need for any other nipple pad. They’re amazing and I’d recommend them to any new mother - totally worth the money.
