The Daisy Dimple 99.9% Pure Silver Nipple Cups (matt finish) are reusable breastfeeding accessories designed to protect sensitive, sore, cracked, or irritated nipples between feeds. Worn inside a supportive nursing bra, each cup sits over the nipple to create a smooth barrier between tender skin and your clothing, so the fabric isn't rubbing against sore areas as you go about your day.
What sets these apart is that they're crafted from solid 999 silver rather than silver-plated material, and silver is a naturally antimicrobial material. They're worn without any creams or gels, which keeps things mess-free, and they're reusable and long-lasting rather than something you replace constantly. Included silicone comfort rings help reduce direct pressure on tender skin, and they come in regular and large sizes so you can choose the fit that suits you.
How it works
- Protective barrier: The smooth silver cup separates the nipple from clothing, which may help reduce friction between feeds.
- Solid silver, not plated: Each cup is made from solid 99.9% pure silver, a naturally antimicrobial material, so there's no plated coating to wear away.
- Comfort rings: The silicone rings sit around the cup to reduce direct pressure on sore skin and help you fine-tune the fit.
- Cream-free wear: The cups work without creams or gels, keeping the whole thing mess-free.
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. Don't use them if the edge causes indentation, pain, blocked milk flow, or skin irritation.
Cleaning and care
Wash the cups daily with clean water and dry them thoroughly. Where extra 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, which doesn't necessarily affect how the cups function — follow the manufacturer's instructions for removing tarnish. Make sure the cups and silicone rings are fully dry before storing them in the included carry pouch, which makes them easy to keep with you at home or while travelling.
Sizes
Choose the size that suits you: the regular cups measure approximately 45 mm in diameter and 16 mm high, and the large cups measure approximately 55 mm in diameter and 18 mm high.
Best for
The Daisy Dimple 99.9% Pure Silver Nipple Cups are a good option for parents who:
- Want a reusable way to protect sore, cracked, or irritated nipples from clothing between feeds
- Prefer a cream-free, mess-free option they can wear inside a nursing bra
- Like the idea of solid silver rather than a plated cup
They may not be the right fit if you have a known allergy or sensitivity to silver or silicone.
Good to know
Remove the cups before breastfeeding or pumping, and inspect the cups and silicone rings regularly for damage. Stop use if irritation, rash, pain, or worsening nipple damage occurs, and keep the pouch and cups out of reach of children when not in use. These cups are breastfeeding accessories intended to protect sensitive nipples between feeds — they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent mastitis, nipple infection, thrush, poor latch, or any other medical condition. Persistent nipple pain is often caused by an underlying feeding issue rather than nipple damage alone, so if you have pain during or after feeds, cracked nipples that aren't improving, bleeding, blisters, changes in nipple shape or colour, reduced milk transfer, or concerns about your baby's weight gain, it's worth seeking help from a lactation consultant, midwife, breastfeeding counsellor, or doctor. Seek prompt medical advice for signs of infection such as a hot, red, painful area on the breast, fever or flu-like symptoms, or symptoms suggestive of mastitis.
