Antibacterial nipple shields in 99.9% pure silver

The first days of breastfeeding can be challenging. The skin is sensitive, and many experience irritation or even soreness. The silver nursing cups from The Weeks give the skin peace to heal in a natural and gentle way without disturbing breastfeeding.

How do they work?

When you wear the cups between feeds, a few drops of your own milk collect in the cup. Breast milk is full of antibodies, enzymes and anti-inflammatory substances that help the skin heal faster. At the same time, the cups protect against friction from clothing and nursing pads, so the skin can rest.

Why 999 fine silver?

The material in the cups is 999 fine silver, which consists of 99.9% pure silver.

This matters because:

• Pure silver has natural antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which help keep the area hygienic.
• It contains no other metals – unlike sterling silver (925), which is only 92.5% silver and the rest copper or other metals.
• The purity of 999 makes the material gentler and therefore particularly suitable for delicate skin.

Comfortable design

The silver cups from The Weeks are extra tall in shape so they don’t press on or bend the nipple. The rounded edges make them comfortable to use – even under a bra – and one size fits most.
