The Daisy Dimple 99.9% Pure Silver Nipple Cups in a glossy finish are reusable breastfeeding accessories designed to protect sensitive, sore, cracked or irritated nipples between feeds. Worn inside your bra, these silver nipple cups (sometimes called silver nipple protectors or nursing cups) sit over the nipple to create a smooth barrier between tender skin and your clothing, so there's less rubbing while you go about your day.
What sets these cups apart is that they're crafted from solid 999 silver rather than silver-plated metal, and silver is a naturally antimicrobial material. Each pair comes with silicone comfort rings that help reduce direct pressure on tender skin, plus a soft carry pouch so you can keep them clean and close to hand whether you're at home or travelling. There are no creams or gels needed during wear, which keeps things mess-free.
How it works
- Protective barrier: The smooth silver cup covers the nipple and separates it from your bra and clothing, which may help reduce friction between feeds.
- Comfort rings: The included silicone rings cushion the edge and help ease direct pressure on sore or tender skin.
- No products required: The cups are worn on their own, with no creams or gels needed, for a mess-free routine.
How to use
- Wash your hands before handling the cups.
- Express a few drops of breast milk into each cup if desired.
- Place one cup gently over each nipple.
- Add the silicone protection rings if they improve comfort and fit.
- Secure the cups inside a supportive nursing bra.
- Remove the cups before feeding or pumping.
- Wash and dry them thoroughly before the next use.
The cups should sit comfortably without excessive pressure. Stop using them if the edge causes indentation, pain, blocked milk flow or skin irritation.
Sizes
Available in two sizes so you can choose the fit that suits you: the regular cup measures approximately 45 mm in diameter and 16 mm high, while the large measures approximately 55 mm in diameter and 18 mm high. This listing is for the glossy finish.
Cleaning and care
Wash the cups daily with clean water and dry them thoroughly. Where additional cleaning is needed, use a mild fragrance-free soap and rinse well. Avoid abrasive cleaners, rough sponges, bleach or harsh chemicals. Silver may naturally tarnish or change colour over time; this does not necessarily affect how the cups function, and you can follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing tarnish. Make sure both the cups and the silicone rings are fully dry before storing them in the carry pouch.
