- The patented design of Silverette cups with rounded apex shape respects the conformation of the nipple and avoids any annoying irritation or rubbing. The shape allows the nipple to be well contained and not pinched. Its rounded edges also allow for a more comfortable fit, even on the most sensitive skin.

- Care | Silver is a natural antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibacterial metal that also contains anti-inflammatory agents. As a result, a quick rinse with warm water between feeds is sufficient to clean the cups. Do not use any harsh detergents, bleach-based agents, sterilising tablets or hard scourers to clean the cups.
- Silverette can tarnish over time due to the natural oxidisation process that occurs in silver, however it is still safe and effective to use. To remove the tarnish, make a paste using a mix of bicarbonate of soda (one teaspoon) with a few drops of water. Rub the paste over the cups, rinse and pat dry.

How to use |
- Simply place the Silverette cup over the nipple and use your nursing bra to hold it in place. Leave a couple of drops of breastmilk in the cups at the end of each breastfeeding session, this helps soothe the nipple and acts as a suction to help keep the cup in place. If you plan on using breast pads, place these in-between your bra and nursing cups.
- To get maximum benefit from the product it is recommend mothers use it for preventative measures and to also work on the positioning of their latch.
- As always, we recommend professional advice if pain or latching issues persist.
