These pure silver cups naturally soothe cracked nipples without creams, and they're reusable so they pay for themselves over time. Perfect for mums dealing with painful breastfeeding who want a natural, chemical-free solution, but skip if you're not comfortable with the learning curve of positioning them correctly.
⚠️Getting the fit right takes practice—if they're not positioned properly, they won't stay in place or provide relief, which can be frustrating when you're already sore.

“Helps heal sore nipples, but can be bulky and tricky to fit”
Solid Choice
Many UK parents found the Silverette nursing cups helpful for healing sore nipples, with some describing them as a 'lifesaver' for breastfeeding. However, some struggled with the cups' bulky size and difficulty getting the right fit. While most were satisfied, a few felt the cups didn't work well for their needs or were too expensive. Overall, the Silverettes seem a solid option for managing nipple pain, but parents should be prepared for potential fit challenges.
