What are Pippeta Nip Cups?

Pippeta Nip Cups are silver nipple covers designed specifically for those who are breastfeeding. Crafted from 100% sterling silver or Trilaminate silver, these anatomically shaped cups fit discreetly underneath clothing and cater to various breast shapes. They are available in Regular and Maxi sizes, offering options to suit individual preferences.

Why Choose Silver?

Did you know, silver has been renowned for its healing properties for centuries?

It possesses antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-inflammatory, and soothing qualities, making it an excellent choice for promoting healing in wounds and infections.

By utilising 999 sterling silver, Pippeta Nip Cups provide a safe and effective solution to treat sore or wounded nipples - a heavenly thought when you need some relief!

How to Use Pippeta Nipple Cups

Step 1

To begin using PippetaNip Cups, simply place a cup directly over each nipple. Ensure a comfortable fit, and wear them for as long as possible between breastfeeding or pumping sessions.

Step 2

Moist wound healing has been found to be highly effective for treating sore and wounded nipples. Before placing the cups over your nipples, add a few drops of breast milk into each cup as breast milk contains natural healing properties to further aid recovery!

Step 3

Cup Removal and Reapplication Remove the cups before nursing your baby, and put them back on once your baby has finished feeding. The cups do not stick to your nipples, which helps to alleviate pain and discomfort while allowing the healing process to continue.

Nipple Creams and Pippeta Nipple Cups

You don't need to use nipple creams or ointments alongside Pippeta Nip Cups. Instead, Pippeta recommend using only breast milk, as other creams or ointments may react with the silver and reduce the cups' efficiency. 

Cleaning and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your Pippeta Nip Cups, it is important to clean and maintain these little silver savours properly! Pippeta recommend cleaning the cups once a day, to do this - simply rinse them with warm water to remove any milk residue.

Occasionally, you may notice a loss of shine on the cups. To restore their luster, create a paste using baking soda and water. Gently rub the paste onto the cups, then rinse thoroughly and dry them before use. Avoid using any other cleaning products on your nipple cups, as they may tarnish or damage the silver.
