Transform your breastfeeding and pumping journey into a pain-free experience with our silver nursing cups. Designed to be used between sessions instead of nipple cream, these cups offer soothing relief and help heal cracked, sore, and irritated nipples.
Each one is handcrafted from pure 999 silver, a metal known for its powerful antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antifungal properties, as well as its ability to reduce inflammation. By forming a gentle, protective barrier over your nipples, these cups help prevent infections and soothe irritation, allowing your skin to heal naturally and comfortably.
Features & Benefits
Crafted from high-quality, medical-grade silver, MammaBump’s silver nursing cups provide natural protection against breast infections while offering gentle relief from swelling and soreness.
Key Benefits
• Natural protection against infections like mastitis and nipple thrush.
• Anti-inflammatory properties to reduce swelling and soreness.
• Free from harmful chemicals and nickel, ensuring safe, gentle care.
• Ergonomically designed to stay in place and protect nipples from friction.
• Reusable, eco-friendly, and long-lasting, making them an environmentally conscious choice.
How to choose the right size
Our Silver Nursing Cups come in two sizes — Regular and Large. Both soothe and protect in exactly the same way; the only difference is the diameter, so it simply comes down to comfort and fit.
The cup should sit over your nipple and the area right around it, with the rim resting gently on the skin rather than pressing in. It doesn't need to cover your whole areola — just the nipple and the tissue around it, where friction happens.
As a general guide
Regular — cup sizes A to C, or an areola around 45mm (4.5cm) or smaller. Large — cup sizes above C, or an areola larger than around 45mm (4.5cm).
No need to measure exactly — your current bra cup size is the easiest guide, and the areola size is just a rough check (45mm is a little under 2 inches).
Between sizes, or not sure? Go with Large. A slightly larger cup is more comfortable, while one that leaves marks or pinches is too small. It's also perfectly fine to wear a different size on each side, and Large is the safest choice if you're buying as a gift.
Care Instructions
Silver can tarnish over time due to the natural oxidation process however it is still safe and effective to use.
Rinse in warm water between use or prepare a cleaning paste using a teaspoon of bicarbonate soda and a few drops of water.
Gently massage the the cleaning paste over the cup and rinse with water.
Clean every few hours or between feeds.

Good To know
How do I use the MammaBump silver nursing cups?
MammaBump silver nursing cups are designed to be as simple and easy to use as possible. Just place them gently over your nipples after each breastfeeding or pumping session, and let them work their magic to ease any discomfort.
While some moms like to add a few drops of breast milk into each cup before use, it’s completely optional. Wear your MammaBump silver nursing cups as long as you can between feeds, and simply remove them when it’s time to nurse again.
How do I clean the MammaBump silver nursing cups?
Thanks to their antibacterial properties, there is no need to sterilize your MammaBump silver nursing cups. To keep them looking their best and free from residue, simply wash them daily with warm water. Do not wash in the dishwasher.
Silver will naturally tarnish over time. This does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the cups. If you’d like to give them an extra shine, you can gently polish them with a paste made from baking soda and a little water. Just be sure to dry them thoroughly afterward to prevent any staining or oxidation.
Caring for your MammaBump silver nursing cups is quick and easy, so they’re always ready to support you through your breastfeeding journey.
Can the MammaBump silver nursing cups be used with absorbent breast pads?
Yes! If you’re using absorbent breast pads, just layer them right over your MammaBump silver nursing cups. Your nursing bra will keep everything snug and in place.
Do I need to use cream or lotion with the MammaBum silver nursing cups?
No, our MammaBump silver nursing cups are specifically designed to relieve and heal nipples on their own, without the need for anything else.

Very impressive how these silver cups can help sore nipples.
Purchased these as a gift for my Sister as she was experiencing pain feeding her newborn. Hope that these bring comfort and promote healing on her journey.
I bought these prior to giving birth and I’m SOO thankful that I did. These have been an absolute game changer, during my breastfeeding experience thus far… I wear them all the time and they’ve definitely saved my nipples from cracking/ excessive soreness. They’ve even aided in the recovery of one of my nipples which was blistered after the first feed!
Would encourage anyone who chooses to breastfeed, to purchase these!
And wear them straight away, even if you think you don’t need to, you will!!
If you’re thinking of getting them definitely do! They have really saved me this time around.
I got the large size thinking it would be better to have them bigger than too small and the size is really great. There is nothing “large” about them
Just a good comfortable fit.
These silver nipple covers saved my breastfeeding journey - they healed my sore nipples in the first week and also acted as a protective barrier against the material of my maternity bras between feeds so stop any rubbing or pain. The cooling sensation of the silver also was very soothing. I couldn’t recommend these more highly! I would buy again for sure.
These have been miraculous. When I started breastfeeding, I had a lot of soreness and cracking (as is normal), but it would basically heal overnight with these on. Compared to my first pregnancy without these, I’ve noticed a huge difference. All the hospital nurses swore by them, I’m so glad I had them. Some nurses suggested putting on nipple balm under these, but I found I had more success with the shields just on their own, and the healing was a lot faster.
I bought these for my daughter for her breastfeeding journey as with her 1st baby she became so sore she gave up but I have to say I would highly reccomend these as she is not sore at all they are amazing she said its the best gift anyone could have bought she loves them especially when they come out of the fridge my daughter has ginger hair so prone to getting sore have to say again highly recommend ☺️
This is my fourth baby & typically the first week or two. My nipples are always very sore/cracked. This is the first time I have used these silver nursing cups; and on postpartum day 4 it has been a different experience because of them. They really relieve the pain and prevent further issues. It’s like they have time to heal between nursing sessions with these on!
First time mum here! Fits perfectly. I just put them in the fridge to get cold, then put them on after pumping or breast feeding. Gives me a break from putting nipple balm on and is mess free. So I don't need to clean the nipple area before any feeding.
These are amazing! I didn’t use with my first child 5 years ago and i’ve noticed a huge difference. No soreness or damage and great not to have to use a balm that ends up in babies mouth
I’m quite happy with the silver nursing cups. They dispatched the order super fast. I put them in the fridge so they’re nice and cold and pop them on with a few drops of breast milk when I finish a feed. They also help provide a barrier so there’s no rubbing against breast pads. I’m glad I bought these.
I'm so so very pleased with the MammaBump silver nursing cups. It's been a lifesaver during my breastfeeding journey, making feedings more comfortable and enjoyable. It was highly recommended to me by my moms’ group and I would highly recommend it to any mom struggling with breastfeeding.

The silver nursing cups are working a treat in these early postpartum days I really disliked using any gels last time so this is a great alternative! I also can't get enough of the incredible quality of the reusable milk storage bags! Highly recommend.
Love my silver nursing cups, I have always used colloidal silver water for helping with illnesses and healing cuts etc. so I was really happy to find these and they work great!
So I've been using these for the past week every day. I had a blister forming due to teething and poor latch and its gone! No pain no dryness they work amazing. I find them very comfortable to wear all day and easy to rinse, with a perfect little bag to pop them in when dry and not in use.
These have been a life saver for my breast feeding journey. My son's latch totally changed once teething started which caused my nipples to become extremely sore. Within 48 hours of wearing the silver nursing cups they had pretty much healed! Now I just keep them in my bra to prevent further damage. Would highly recommend!
The MammaBump silver nursing cups have literally saved my breastfeeding journey. My nipples were extremely sore and they healed overnight using the cups. Definitely a breastfeeding must have! Plus they look pretty too!
