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.

"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."
