Silverette® are the original and multi-award-winning silver nursing cups, designed to
help prevent and soothe nipple pain, inflammation and cracks from pregnancy,
breastfeeding and pumping.
Made of 925 sterling silver, which is naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory,
Silverette® allow your nipples to gently recover in between feeding/pumping
sessions.
They are non-toxic, safe for mum and baby, easy to use and fully reusable. Plus,
there’s no need to wipe your nipples before feeding and no creams or other nipple
care products are needed.

Silverette® cups are independently tested to verify that they are genuine sterling silver — not silver-plated or trilaminate like most other competitors on the market. Each pair is handmade in a registered medical facility in Italy, under strict manufacturing standards (European manufacturing standards are among the strictest in the world, prioritising consumer safety, environmental sustainability, and high-quality production). Silverettes® carry the CE marking, which signifies that a product complies with these strict European Union (EU) safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. Silverette® are also made from sustainably sourced, recycled silver. Italian silver is internationally renowned for its quality.

Almost all other silver cups brands on the market are mass produced in China or Turkey and are white label products. These unregulated products unfortunately come with no guarantee as to the quality of their metal composition. Independent testing has showed that some brands promoted as "pure silver" in fact contain very little silver, and are mostly copper, zinc and/or nickel. 

Silverette® also differ from most other brands on the market in that they are fully traceable, with each product having a LOT/batch number and the manufacturer details on the packaging. This is a Medsafe requirement. Unfortunately, a lot of brands available in NZ do not meet these requirements. If you sell competitor brands it would be worth looking for these details on the packaging to ensure you are selling products that meet Medsafe requirements.

Why choose Silverette over other silver cups on the market?
✔️ The original silver nursing cups, since 2002
✔️ Made in Italy
✔️ Nickel free
✔️ Eurofins certified for their hypoallergenic and antimicrobial properties
✔️ Genuine 925 sterling silver (silver + copper only, no other alloys used)
✔️ RJC certified recycled silver
✔️ Independently tested

HOW TO USE: Simply place Silverette® over your nipples, using your bra or nursing
singlet to hold them in place. Wear them for a couple of hours at a time, in between
feeding/pumping sessions.
We highly recommend taking a break from wearing Silverette® for a few hours each
day/as needed, and letting your nipples air dry, particularly if you leak a lot. While a
moist environment is conducive to healing and helps prevents cracks and cuts,
excess moisture can irritate the nipples and surrounding skin and potentially delay
nipple healing. Monitor the nipples and surrounding skin daily. If you have any
concerns, please reach out to your Midwife, Doctor or a Lactation Consultant.

CHOOSING YOUR SIZE: To accommodate your growing bust as your pregnancy
progresses and during milk production, add one cup size to your current bra size.

ORIGINAL – Adjusted bra size is C cup or less and areola measurement is less
than 4.5cm
XL – Adjusted bra size is D cup or more and/or areola measurement is 4.5cm
or more
If your measurements are on the cusp, or you’re still unsure, choose XL. Purely
from a comfort perspective, it is better to have them slightly bigger than slightly
smaller.
If they are a gift, choose XL - it is the best one-size-fits.
