When it comes to caring for sensitive nipples during breastfeeding, not all products are created equal. At Mammae, we’re committed to providing mothers with the highest-quality, and most effective solutions for the prevention and treatment of sore, cracked and damaged nipples.
We strongly believe in the power of listening. We didn't just assume we had the best nipple care solution for nursing mothers; we asked over 500 nursing mums about their needs, preferences, and experiences. This feedback was invaluable, allowing us to design a product specifically tailored to your needs. We knew you loved it, but we knew it could be done BETTER.
Our multi award-winning Breathable Silver Nipple Cups are designed with unparalleled innovation and comfort in mind, offering a combination of 99.9% pure materials, advanced patented design, and thoughtful features that truly set us apart from other brands.
In this article, we’ll break down what makes our Bosom Ritual Objects far superior to other silver nursing cups on the market, so you can feel confident in choosing a product that best prioritises your comfort, health, and peace of mind, without compromise.

99.9% Pure Fine Silver
Our cups are made from the highest grade of pure fine silver, not the 92.5% alloy metals found in other brands. This means ultimate purity and effectiveness in healing and protecting sensitive nipples.
Innovative Breathable Airflow Design
Through a survey of over 500 nursing mothers, we found that prolonged use of the solid silver nursing cups on the market often led to excessive moisture buildup, causing further maceration of delicate nipple tissue. To combat this, our unique and patented airflow design ensures superior breathability, preventing moisture build-up and skin irritation. While other brands in Australia may offer solid silver cups, Mammae’s attention to detail and quality of materials and innovation make our cups stand out, providing superior comfort and protection for breastfeeding mothers, without compromise.
Comprehensive Size Variations
Unlike other brands, which often provide minimal difference between their regular and large-size cups, Mammae offers a truly diverse range of sizes designed for a perfect, comfortable fit. No more "one-size-fits-all" frustrations – our cups are carefully crafted to suit every mother's unique body, ensuring optimal comfort and support throughout your breastfeeding journey.
Medical-Grade Silicone Cushion
Each pair includes an ultra-soft, 30 degree cured medical-grade silicone cushion that provides non-slip support and extra comfort, especially for sore, engorged breasts. This added layer of protection ensures a gentle and secure fit without discomfort or the inconvenience of your cups slipping and sliding beneath your nursing bra.
Hydrogel Adhesives for Secure, Bra-Free Comfort
Our Silver Nursing Cups are partnered with our innovative aloe infused hydrogel adhesives, allowing mothers to wear their silver nursing cups securely in place without the need for a nursing bra. This added flexibility ensures maximum comfort and convenience, giving you the freedom to care for your sensitive nipples without compromising on support or security.
Solid Aluminium Hygiene Vessel
We include a durable solid aluminium hygiene vessel to protect your silver cups between uses. This ensures your cups remain clean and safe, even on the go.
CE Approved Medical Device
Safety and quality matter. Our 999 silver nipple cups are CE approved, meeting strict European standards for medical devices. This ensures that you’re using a product backed by rigorous testing and approval.
FDA & ARTG Registered
We’re also registered with both the FDA and ARTG, ensuring the highest international standards for health and safety. Your peace of mind is our priority.
