The BubsNest Verdict

The antimicrobial silver genuinely soothes sore nipples and the breathable design promotes healing, though they're quite rigid and can feel bulky under bras. Ideal for mums dealing with cracked nipples who need serious healing power; skip if you have petite anatomy or need something discreet under clothing.

⚠️These are healing cups worn between feeds, not nursing shields used during feeds—don't confuse them or you'll be very disappointed.

Loved It

The Momcozy Original 999 Silver Nipple Shields are generally well-received by UK parents as a practical and effective solution for sore or cracked nipples during breastfeeding. The silver material is praised for its antimicrobial properties and ability to soothe irritation, though some find the shields a bit rigid or bulky.

What parents love

Antimicrobial PropertiesParents appreciate the 999 silver composition of the shields, which is said to have natural antimicrobial effects to help prevent infection and promote healing of sore nipples.

Comfort and SoothingMany report that the shields provide a cooling, soothing sensation that helps relieve pain and discomfort from cracked or damaged nipples during breastfeeding.

BreathabilityThe perforated design of the shields is noted to allow for airflow and prevent moisture buildup, keeping the skin dry and comfortable.

Worth knowing

RigiditySome parents find the shields to be a bit too rigid and inflexible, which can make them uncomfortable or awkward to wear, especially for smaller nipples.

BulkinessA few users comment that the shields feel quite bulky and thick, which can be noticeable under clothing and may interfere with a proper latch during breastfeeding.

SizingWhile the large size is generally suitable, a small number of parents mention needing to experiment with different sizes to find the best fit for their individual needs.

Best for

Breastfeeding parents experiencing sore, cracked or irritated nipples
Those looking for a natural, antimicrobial solution to help promote healing

May not suit

Parents with very small or sensitive nipples who may find the shields too rigid or bulky
Those who prefer a more flexible or discreet nipple shield design

Tips from parents

Sizing

Try different size options to find the most comfortable and secure fit, as the shields come in both small and large sizes to accommodate varying nipple dimensions.

Cleaning

Thoroughly clean the shields after each use, as the silver material can tarnish over time if not properly maintained.

Positioning

Ensure the shields are centred and positioned correctly over the nipple to avoid discomfort or leakage during breastfeeding.
