Breastfeeding Essentials FAQs
What are silver nipple cups and how are they used?
Silver nipple cups are reusable cups worn inside the bra between feeds to help protect sensitive nipples from rubbing against clothing or breast pads. Place the clean cups gently over the nipples after feeding and remove them before the next feed. Keep them clean and dry between uses, following the care instructions supplied with the product. If nipple pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by signs of infection, seek advice from a midwife, health visitor, GP or breastfeeding specialist.
What is the difference between silver nipple cups and reusable breast pads?
Silver nipple cups and reusable breast pads serve different purposes. Silver nipple cups are worn over the nipples between feeds to help protect them from rubbing against clothing. Reusable breast pads are designed to absorb leaking breast milk and help keep clothing dry. Some mothers use both as part of the same breast-care routine, depending on their needs.
Can I use silver nipple cups and reusable breast pads together?
Yes. Silver nipple cups and reusable breast pads can be used as part of the same breast-care routine because they serve different purposes. The silver cups sit directly over the nipples between feeds, while the breast pads help absorb milk leakage and protect clothing. Make sure everything sits comfortably in the bra without putting pressure on sensitive areas, and use them separately if that feels more comfortable.
How do I clean and care for silver nipple cups?
Silver nipple cups are reusable and designed to be easy to care for. Rinse them after use, dry them thoroughly and keep them clean between feeds. For deeper cleaning, follow the care instructions supplied with your cups. Avoid using anything abrasive that could damage the silver surface.
How many reusable breast pads are included and how do I wash them?
Each box contains six reusable bamboo breast pads. Wash them at 30°C after use and allow them to dry thoroughly before wearing again. With six pads in each box, you have several pairs to rotate while others are being washed and dried.
Which breast-care option should I choose?
Choose according to what you need most. Silver nipple cups are designed to protect sensitive nipples from rubbing between feeds, while reusable breast pads absorb milk leakage and help protect clothing. If you would like both, they can be used as part of the same breast-care routine, or chosen together in our Breastfeeding Gift Set with Bamboo Pads & Silver Nipple Cups.
When should I seek professional breastfeeding support?
If breastfeeding is painful, discomfort is persistent or you are concerned about nipple damage, infection, milk supply or your baby’s feeding, seek advice from a midwife, health visitor, GP or qualified breastfeeding specialist. Professional support can help identify the cause and recommend appropriate care. If you or your baby become unwell, seek medical advice promptly.
