SILVERETTE® The Original Silver Nursing Cups, Nipple Covers for Breastfeeding Essentials, Pure 925 Silver Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding Newborn, Lightweight Nursing Cups, Regular Size

These will save your nipples. I used them non stop for the first 5 weeks & cannot express how much they helped, ESPECIALLY with a tongue tied baby who was very chompy. (IYKYK) these are so easy to clean, just run under water & wipe off. They are expensive but worth EVERY penny. I still will use them when I’m cracked or sore from cluster feeds. BUY THEM YOU WONT REGRET

Worth every penny. I wore them for about 3-4 weeks when I first started nursing. I never had any cracking or bleeding. I also never had to use any ointments. These helped our breastfeeding journey be so successful.

I bought this item for my expecting daughter and she was super happy to get these! All her friends said these are a life saver!

If you’re on the fence about getting these, order them..like now lol. These have seriously been a lifesaver and saved my breastfeeding journey especially in the first few weeks. I considered giving up breastfeeding until I tried these! Instantly soothing, especially if you put a dab of breastmilk in them before putting them on

These literally saved my daughter’s nipples and helped give her the enjoyment back during one of the greatest bonding experiences with her baby! I did cringe a bit when I saw the price but was desperate to help her, and glad I did. The price could definitely be better so that more mother’s could afford them, but was it worth it, absolutely.

Work well. I had bad blisters on the tip of my nipples from using the wrong flange size while pumping. I got these while I waited to get the right size flanges. The blisters got better each day of use. Per the directions, I had some milk in them while using in between pumping. I use skin safe tape to hold them in place. They don't fit my entire areola but per the questions and answers posted on here they don't have to. They do leak if they get too full. To wash them I use hot water. They are not showing signs of tarnishing. I took off one star because they arrived with dents in them.

I am currently breastfeeding my 4 month old son and have since he was born. Unfortunately, it hasn't gone as smoothly as it had when I breastfed my daughter who is now 2 years old.I had cracked and bleeding nipples when I first started breastfeeding with her, so this time, I thought I would have it down, and bought nipple cream to use after each feed, and knew exactly how to have him latch correctly, remembering the tips from when I worked with a lactation consultant with my daughter initially.So first off, initially he would not even wake to feed and therefore I had to pump every three hours and use a bottle to feed him almost while he was sleeping. Then he grew out of that to being awake enough to breastfeed, but had latch issues as no matter what I did to have him open his mouth wide enough and get my entire nipple in his mouth. he would always use his arm and push my breast while he was eating, which caused my nipple to constantly slide out of his mouth, so his mouth would end up around the base of my nipple. I would constantly have to re-latch and re-latch throughout his feeds. I was even working through this, but then my lanolin nipple cream caused him to breakout around his lips, so I had to stop using it. All of these factors caused me to have great pain around the base of my nipple and upon further inspection, I saw that there was a red, paper cut looking mark all around the base of both my left and right nipple. It even hurt after he was finished feeding! To make matters worse, he then got thrush, so the cuts I did have got infected and my skin started peeing off of my nipples. I ended up going back to just strictly pumping and feeding him my breast milk through the bottles. I googled different remedies and I tried everything I could to heal my nipples so I could breastfeed again. I treated them with my breastmilk, nipple cream, neosporin, peroxide diluted with water and my doctor even gave me a prescription. All these remedies worked just enough. They all healed me enough that I could finally breastfeed again, but it was always just a little sore. We were ok, for another month, then I got the same paper cut like marks around my breast and it looked like he may have developed thrush again. I treated him again and I felt like I caught it on my nipples before it got bad again, but it was still extremely painful to breastfeed and I wasnt sure what I could do. It had gotten to the point, that even when I pumped, it was painful and I had to turn the strength down which lowered my output. I wasnt too worried, because if I really had to stop, I could since I have built up a good freezer stash, but I really enjoy breastfeeding and wanted to make sure I still had those moments with my son that I had with my daughter. In fact, I breastfed her for 15 months,so I wanted the opportunity to do the same with him. I googled remedies again and this time, I stumbled upon an old blog post about silverette cups, which I had never heard of. I looked them up and started reading the reviews and felt like they were kind of pricey, but if they did what people said they did, they would be well worth the money and heartache; so I purchased them and put them on the same day they arrived. I almost just stuck them on, but it says to put some of my breast milk on the cracked areas, then cover with the cups and do this after every feeding. I was kind of skeptical, because typically things that work for everyone else never work for me. But I have to say, that by the time I got up the next morning, I could definitely feel and see a huge difference when I went to nurse my baby again. I braced myself for pain, but there was none and after he was done, I looked and saw that while it was still pink, the cracked base was healed. The same for my other nipple. If you have ever had a cracked nipple at any time, I am sure you understand that when relief comes, it is such a huge weigh off your shoulders! I honestly couldnt believe the difference one day made. I am not sure if it worked because of the location of the cracks on my nipples, and maybe the reasons it didnt work for others is that their cracks are actually on their nipples or what. I just wanted people to know that this really does work. It may not be completely healed in 24-48 hours, but you will get some type of relief in a day, which is really what you need when you are constantly breastfeeding or pumping. The only downside is that if you have a tight shirt on, you can see the little cups. I never write reviews unless something is really exceptional and this product was for me.

Does pinch if too small.
