999 Fine Silver Non-slip Breathable Nipple Cups

Mammae’s innovative breathable design was created in response to the most common frustrations mothers face with solid silver cups: trapped moisture, painful indentation marks, and the need to always wear a bra to secure them in place. By offering advanced airflow, bra-free comfort, and superior 999 pure fine silver alloy metal (not 925 mixed alloy), Mammae provides a modern, thoughtful solution for postpartum nipple care that addresses real mothers’ needs. This breakthrough design is being celebrated by IBCLCs and midwives as a breakthrough advancement in the evolution of silver nursing cups, offering real comfort, fast healing, and convenience without all the common drawbacks.

Not all Silver Nursing Cups are made equal. While solid cups are beneficial for protecting, soothing, and healing damaged nipples, prolonged and continuous wear can inadvertently create a moist environment around the nipple, leading to potential issues such as irritation and maceration of the tissue.

By strategically integrating the innovative airflow holes, our silver nipple cup design helps to effectively mitigate the risk of moisture buildup, allowing for optimal air circulation; ensuring a safer and more comfortable breastfeeding experience for mothers.

The 999 Fine Silver Breathable Nipple Cups are meticulously hand crafted to serve as an essential tool for breastfeeding and pumping mothers. They are designed to protect, soothe, and heal damaged nipples during the breastfeeding and pumping journey.

Crafted from the highest purity of 99.9% fine silver, the Bosom Ritual Objects boast natural antibacterial, antiviral, and anti-fungal properties, providing effective defence against various pathogens.

They have become a revered essential among mothers and are routinely recommended as a must-have item for your hospital bag and postpartum journey.

While some competitors may claim that 925 silver, often referred to as sterling silver, is the "purest" form available, we want to set the record straight!

When choosing between pure silver and sterling silver, it’s important to consider your needs and preferences.

Pure silver, also known as fine silver, is the closest form of silver to its pure element state. While 925 silver, or ‘sterling silver’, is commonly used in many solid nursing cups and contains 92.5% pure silver, the additional 7.5% comprises other metals, typically copper, for added strength.

The truth is, 999 fine silver, such as what we use in our Bosom Ritual Objects, is the purest form of fine silver attainable, with a silver content of 99.9%, and the remaining 0.1% consisting of insignificant trace amounts of gas during processing.

This is particularly significant for mothers and newborns, as it eliminates any potential exposure to additional and unnecessary metals, ensuring an unparalleled hypoallergenic and gentle experience.

Contrary to misleading assertions, there is no need to dilute the purity of 999 silver with copper or any other alloy to achieve the desired anatomical shape of the nipple cup.

It's also worth noting that copper can be a common skin irritant, making the hypoallergenic properties of a more superior 999 pure silver particularly beneficial for compromised and sensitive nipples.

Our pure 99.9% fine silver nipple cups feature insignificant traces of 0.1% inert gas used in the moulding process. This transparent labelling ensures that our customers are fully informed about the hypoallergenic composition and high skin safety standards of the pure silver we source.

The Bosom Ritual Objects come in two sizes: Regular and Large. 

Selecting the appropriate size for your silver nipple cups is crucial for comfort and effectiveness.

1. Measure your areola diameter and nipple height to gauge the appropriate cup size. Opt for a cup size slightly larger than your measurements for a comfortable fit.

2. Keep in mind that your breast size may change, especially during pregnancy and postpartum when milk production increases. Therefore, it's advisable to choose a size that will accommodate your postpartum lactating breasts.

3. If you're unsure or purchasing the Bosom Ritual Objects as a gift, we recommend selecting the Large fit, as it will comfortably accommodate a variety of breast and areola sizes.

1. Prep - Wash and dry your hands and cups using warm, soapy water before handling.

Ensure breast tissue is clean and dry prior to application.

2. Apply - Secure the silicone cushions to the outer perimeter for non-slip support.

Optional - Adhere the Bosom Ritual Discs (sold separately & bundled).

Slowly peel the white film from the gel padding.

Attach the adhesive side to the silver cup's perimeter, exposing airflow holes.

3. Heal - Add a drop of breast milk inside the silver cup for enhanced healing.

4. Position - Cup the device over the nipple, aligning airflow holes at the top.

5. Secure - Gently press and smooth down the hydrogel adhesive for a comfortable and secure fit, eliminating the necessity for a bra.

Optional: Layer the Mammae contoured breast pads over the nipple cup for leak-proof protection and secure them beneath a well-fitting bra.

No. It is not recommended to wear a nipple balm or ointment under the Silver Nipple Cups. The combination of these two therapeutic tools may diminish the efficacy of the Bosom Ritual Objects and potentially compromise their pure 999 fine silver composition.

Additionally, applying nipple balm before wearing the cups may create a slippery surface, leading to potential movement and hindering the cups' ability to provide optimal support and healing.

For best results, we advise using nipple balm after removing the Silver Nipple Cups and allowing the skin to absorb the balm fully before reapplying the cups.

If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance.

Wear the cups according to your preference and comfort.

1. Under Your Nursing Bra: Position the cups under your nursing bra for discreet and convenient wear.

2. With Reusable Contoured Breast Pads: If you're using our award-winning Bosom Wearables Breast Pads, place the breast pad over the silver cups. Your nursing bra will then keep the objects and absorbent breast pads securely in place.

3. With Reusable Hydrogel Adhesives: Enjoy the freedom of using our reusable hydrogel adhesives for a breathable and lasting fit. With our innovative adhesives, you can securely attach the silver nipple cups without the need for a nursing bra, providing you with convenience, flexibility and comfort, free from a nursing bra.

Choose a secure method that best suits your lifestyle and preferences. Whether you opt for the support of a nursing bra or the freedom of the Bosom Ritual Discs, our silver nipple cups are designed to accommodate your needs with ease.

Our 999 Fine Silver Nipple Cups are crafted with the utmost precision and delicacy.

Due to the high purity of silver utilised in their creation, these cups are inherently soft and malleable. Hence, we strongly recommend handling them with the utmost care and gentleness to prevent any deformation or damage.

To ensure the longevity and preservation of your silver nipple cups, we have thoughtfully provided you with a solid aluminium vessel for hygienic storage when they are not in use. This vessel serves as an ideal protective casing, safeguarding your cups from external factors that may compromise their beauty and integrity.

It is imperative to exercise caution while handling and storing these delicate silver nipple cups. Any mishandling, excessive force, or improper storage may result in unintended alterations to their shape or structure.

By purchasing and using our 999 fine silver nipple cups, you acknowledge and accept the delicate nature of these exquisite pieces. We trust that with proper care and attention, you will enjoy their beauty and functionality for many seasons to come.

To preserve their natural finish eliminate residue formation, we recommend washing your Silver Nipple Cups daily with warm water. Additionally, you can polish them using a natural paste made from baking soda and a small amount of warm water. Whichever method you choose, ensure to thoroughly dry your Silver Cups with the polishing cloth included to prevent any potential oxidisation.

Our Silver Nipple Cups are specifically designed to aid in the healing of cracked and damaged nipples, providing comfort and support during the recovery process. However, it's essential to use them in moderation, as with any therapeutic tool. Prolonged or excessive use can potentially exert pressure on the milk ducts and lead to indentations. We recommend using them when needed between feeding sessions to alleviate discomfort and promote healing. It's important to allow your breasts a short time to naturally air dry after a feed or expression prior to using them again.

If you have any concerns about usage frequency or experience any discomfort, please consult with a healthcare professional for personalised advice.

If you're solely wearing the cups beneath a nursing singlet, they might appear slightly firm and pointed. However, in the comfort of your home, appearance may take a back seat to the relief they provide from soreness and discomfort.

If you prefer to use the cups while on the go, pairing them with our reusable contoured breast pad and a structured nursing bra can soften their appearance.

Our 999 fine silver nipple cups may naturally oxidise over time, developing a brass-yellow colour due to the oxidisation process in the alloy reacting with oxygen, sulfur, and moisture in the air.

This tarnishing, while normal, indicates the authenticity of the fine silver used. To remove residual build up or discolouration, create a paste of one teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda and a few drops of water. Gently rub the mixture on the cups, rinse, and pat dry using the polishing cloth included.

Alternatively, warm soapy water can be used. Simply rinse and pat dry using the polishing cloth included.

Silver nursing cups and silicone or plastic nipple shields serve different roles in breastfeeding. Silver nursing cups are worn between feeds to protect and heal sore nipples using silver’s natural antimicrobial properties, promoting gentle healing without the need for creams. They are reusable, easy to clean, and discreet under clothing. In contrast, silicone or plastic nipple shields are worn during breastfeeding to help babies latch or to protect nipples from direct contact, making them especially helpful for latch issues or flat or inverted nipples. These shields require frequent sterilisation and may need to be replaced over time. While silver nursing cups focus on healing and protection between feeds, nipple shields are designed to offer support during feeding.

Silver nipple cups are generally a safe, natural, and effective option for nipple care when used as directed. Following best practices such as taking regular breaks, maintaining good hygiene, and ensuring a proper fit will help you avoid common drawbacks and make the most of their healing benefits. Mammae’s innovative breathable design further supports comfort and reduces risks by allowing for bra-free use and improved airflow, making them a thoughtful choice for modern breastfeeding support.

It’s completely normal for silver nipple cups to lose their shine or develop tarnish over time. This is a natural result of silver’s reaction to air, moisture, and the natural oils from your skin. The good news is that tarnish is purely cosmetic and does not affect the safety or effectiveness of your cups.
