These silver cups, made from 999 silver, are our top postpartum recommendation. They are designed to take the pain out of establishing breastfeeding, so are most effective in the first 14 days postpartum (though you might want to wear them longer). They prevent and treat inflamed, chaffed or sensitive nipples. What sorcery is this?! you ask? Just chemistry. Silver is a natural antibacterial, anti-fungal and antimicrobial metal. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, so using them on your nipples between feeds supports healing and prevents infection. Because breastmilk doesn't only come out when you want it to, these cups often hold a little milk in them while you're wearing them and maintain milk contact, which, as many midwives will tell you, is one of the best things you can put on your nipples to promote healing. Double win.
The ventilated design ensures maximum wearability and the cooling silver gives instant oooft after feeding.
If you are wanting to establish breastfeeding, wear Nip Magic consistently for a few hours at a time between feeds in those early days and weeks. Just make sure you give your nipples time to breathe and dry between feeds, then apply. To apply, simply wear over your nipple with the ventilation holes at the top, inside your bra. To clean, wash with warm soapy water and leave to dry with a clean towel.

"I’m only day 10 postpartum - I’ve used these silver cups most days as they provide me with comfort and soothing relief while navigating breastfeeding. Although most midwives I meant at the hospital don’t encourage it for some reason, the days I don’t use them, I feel an increased pain with breastfeeding."
"I bought these for my sister and they were a lifesaver for sore nipples! I had a baby 3 months apart from her and swore by them."
"Perfect gift for a breastfeeding mum, an absolute essential for the hospital bag!!!"
"Life saving!!! These silverettes are amazing in between feds. They heal & comfort your nipples instantly and are amazing cause you don't touch the bras, so act like a protective layer between your breasts and your bra. So comfortable and easy to wash as well."
"I've heard so many great things about these, especially for soothing sore nipples without needing creams. I love that they're reusable, easy to wear, and a simple addition to my breastfeeding essentials."
"Incredible! Really great for prevention of any discomfort. Great to use with the nip stick balm, as they allowed it to soak in. So soothing!"
"Great product"
"Relied on these so heavily over the first few weeks. Really helped to soothe post feeding."
"Not effective and not recommended by midwives"
"breastfeeding for the first time, i’m so glad i had these. saved my nipples when they were really sensitive. the cooling effect the had was very soothing as well and kept my nipple cream on my nipples instead of rubbing off onto my bra."
