Many midwives recommend them to expectant mothers to make breastfeeding easier by avoiding the worries and discouragement associated with cracks.
Silverette is a class 1 medical device that is CE marked
What's more, this natural device eliminates the need for creams.

The properties of silver
Silver metal is a powerful bactericide and fungicide. Its properties have been known for a very long time, which explains the tradition of giving silver crockery or cutlery to small children.
Whether in metal or compound form, the recognised properties of silver are put to good use in a wide range of applications:

• It is used in industrial water purification systems, including for hospitals.
• It is also used in dressings that help heal faster, in burn ointments and in compression garments for burn victims.
• Some eye drops contain silver

It is the antiseptic and healing properties of silver that make Silverette an effective device for preventing and healing cracked nipples.

How to use Silverette
The cups must be clean and dry before use.
After feeding, breastfeeding mums should place a drop of milk in the hollow of each cup before placing it directly on their breasts, cupping the nipple in their bra.
After feeding, simply remove the cups and rinse the nipples.

How to care for Silverette
The Silverette cups are very easy to care for. Simply clean them twice a day with a pasty mixture of water and baking soda, then rinse and dry thoroughly.

Contraindications
The only known contraindication is allergy to silver.
