Koala Babycare The Original Silver Nursing Cups – Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding Newborn – Breastfeeding Essentials – Protect and Soothe – Tri-Laminate Silver – Standard Size

Great help in breastfeeding
They work great and are more affordable than other brands

Must have
Absolute game changer. Wore them constantly for the first month or more. Never had super sore nips or any dryness. They kept nips from rubbing on my bra or shirt and getting sore too. Sort of easy to bend tho and if you drop on tile they might dent. Just have to not handle them too roughly

Protects raw skin from clothes – pair with lanolin and pump oil!
My breastfeeding journey with my 3 week old has been pretty rough to start. I started off leaving the hospital with damaged nipples after the birth of my baby and breastfeeding was excruciating. I bought these nipple cups back then because the Amazon reviews for these and similar products seemed to suggest that silver cups were a miracle cure, and I was desperate. These Koala ones were more affordable than others. I didn’t get much use out of them back then because I found when I followed the recommended instructions (to apply some freshly-expressed breastmilk into the cups and then wear them on your nipples), these were also causing me pain. I think it was because the breast milk dried into a crust that was causing the cups to stick to my nipples, cause friction, etc. They also tended to move around/slide around inside my bra and stretch/pull my nipples out of place. It would result in a sharp, prickly feeling, so I stopped using them.Turned out my baby had tongue, lip, and cheek ties that were causing us both a lot of grief with breastfeeding, so in the meantime I went to exclusively pumping and my nipples had time to heal. I’m now trying to get re-established with breastfeeding after my baby had a frenotomy two days ago. Unfortunately, that means I get to go through the excruciating nipple-toughening phase all over again, and I’m having some soreness between nursing sessions, and sometimes during. I really can’t stand fabric from my bras/shirts rubbing my sore nipples, but I also won’t go topless because I don’t like dripping milk all over myself. I gave these silver cups another try, but what I do now is coat my whole nipple and areola in lanolin, then spray a little bit of Legendairy pump lube inside the silver cups. I place them on my nipples, then put my Kea Babies nursing pads over them inside of a loose nursing bra. Those nursing pads are conical so they help keep the silver cups in place and stop them from sliding around inside my bra. I do believe doing things this way helps heal up my nipples because I will notice my pain between and with nursing sessions decreases throughout the day.If nothing else, these are great for just stopping friction/rubbing from clothes, and they are a better alternative than the silicone nipple shields because there is no ring to press a painful, circular indent into your areola. If you know, you know. I have similar problems when I leave the Haakaa Ladybugs and Momcozy collection cups in my bra for a long time.Maybe not the miracle cure others have advertised, but still a worthwhile investment for me.

Helpful but painful edges – mixed experience
I had high hopes for the Silverette nursing cups, and in many ways, they delivered—at least at first. I purchased them during a challenging time with breastfeeding and pumping, when my nipples were sore, cracked, and extremely sensitive from both nursing and pumping. I found that wearing the Silverettes between sessions truly helped promote healing. They kept the area protected and allowed the skin to recover without constant friction or irritation from fabric.However, after a few days of use, I started noticing a sharp, pinching discomfort around the edges. The rims began to dig into my skin, especially when worn for longer stretches or under a nursing bra. What started as a soothing solution quickly became another source of pain. I found myself caught in a cycle: needing them to heal, but not being able to tolerate wearing them long enough to fully benefit.I really wish the design included a softer or more contoured edge to prevent this. Perhaps some sort of silicone or flexible lining around the rim would make a huge difference. I still appreciate the healing support they provided—but I can no longer wear them comfortably, which defeats their purpose for me.These may work beautifully for others depending on breast shape or fit, but in my case, the edge discomfort became too much to ignore. I’m giving them 3 stars because they do work for healing, but I can’t fully recommend them due to the painful fit.

Every women should have this!! Saved my breastfeeding experience.

Wow, meine Rettung und täglich im Einsatz. Danke an meine Hebamme! Der Tipp war mein Highlight. Die Silberhütchen sind zwar teuer, aber sie sind es wert. Tolle Unterstützung bei der Wundheilung.
