Let’s talk nipples. (Don’t blush, it’s important.)
Whether you’re a first-time mum, seasoned pro, or just had your soul gently removed by a 3am feed, you know that breastfeeding is beautiful... and also, sometimes, a little brutal.
Cracks, soreness, stinging, leaking - it’s like your boobs signed up for a Tough Mud Run they weren’t ready for.
Enter: Silverettes®, the tiny, shiny, Italian-made miracle workers that mums all over the world are raving about - and for very good reason.
🌿 So... What Are Silverettes? 🌿
Silverettes are little pure silver nipple cups. Yes, actual silver. They sit snugly over your nipples inside your bra and work like a gentle, natural barrier between you and the world.
They’re made from 100% medical-grade silver, which has natural anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties. That means they help soothe, protect, and heal without you needing to slather on creams or remember to rinse anything off before bub latches on again.
💗 Why Do Mums Swear by Them? 💗
Because they actually work. Like, really.
Silverettes help with:
- Cracked, sore, or bleeding nipples (we see you, early days)
- Ongoing nipple discomfort from frequent feeding or pumping
- Preventing infection when your skin is open or irritated
- Creating a safe, healing environment - without extra effort
And the best part? You just pop them in and get on with your day (or night feed, or 17th snack of the morning - we’re not judging).
🤱 Creams Are Great... But This Is Next Level 🤱
Most nipple balms are lovely, but they can be sticky, messy, or rub off on your bra before doing their thing. And let’s be honest: remembering to apply something 4-10 times a day when you're functioning on two hours of sleep and cold toast is a lot.
Silverettes are set-and-forget. They’re reusable, last forever, and won’t stain your bra or leave your baby tasting like lanolin. (Which... no thanks.)
👶 Tested by Mums, Not Marketing Teams 👶
Here’s the real test: when mums tell us, “I wish I’d had these with my first baby” - that’s when we know Silverettes are the real deal and actually make a difference.
One of our Raspberry Lane regulars said they were “like tiny helmets for my nipples,” which might be our favourite review ever. (Shoutout to you, nipple-armour legend.)
🧼 How Do I Use Them? 🧼
Easy:
- After a feed, express a few drops of milk and rub it around the nipple
- Place the Silverette over each nipple
- Put your bra back on - done
You can wear them all day or just in between feeds. Just give them a gentle clean once or twice a day with water and a bit of bicarb soda if needed.
✨ The Silverette Glow-Up ✨
If you’re breastfeeding, pumping, mixed feeding, or still deciding what feeding will look like for you - Silverettes are one of those “treat yourself” products that actually make a difference.
Not essential like nappies... but once you try them, you'll wonder how you ever went without.
