I was quite worried about breastfeeding and my milk coming in and all the unknowns. So after the midwife (and hearing great things from people in the know) I grabbed a pair of Silverettes to take one worry away. I put these guys on pretty early for piece of mind and so far they’ve been a constant and been a great help with it all feeling way less scary (and no niggles, no worries). When my SIL said she was having some pain - these were one of the first things I recommended looking into.

Silverettes

It’s my first time breast feeding, so I don’t have anything to compare to BUT I have loved these & have not taken them off in my first 2 weeks postpartum (obviously to shower and breastfeed lol).
I have had no nipple damage and I can’t imagine trying to wear a bra without them.
They’re like a little suit of armour for your nips.
Highly recommend

This is my second time around breastfeeding and these are a game changer. It prevents from having to use nipple balms (who knows how much bubs is actually ingesting) and has kept my nipples from completely cracking.
I umm’ed and ahh’ed about getting the silicone covers, but I’m glad I got them. I wore them once without them and I could definitely feel it.
Easy to keep clean too.
An absolute must and I now call these my bionic nipples!!

At breaking point with cracked, blistered and bleeding nipples, I was recommended Silverettes. I paid for express post and they arrived the following day and they certainly lived up to their reputation. Within 24 hours I was getting relief and by 7 days my nipples were completely back to normal and no more pain. Honestly every new mum or even returning mums need these for their breast feeding journeys.
