OUR STORY

Breastfeeding didn’t begin the way I imagined. What should have felt natural became cracked skin, sharp pain, and the fear that I was failing. Nothing helped until a midwife suggested 925 silver.

That’s when I discovered Silverette® — the original 925 silver nursing cups, created over 25 years ago in Italy by a family of doctors who still own and manufacture them today. Clinically tested, medically registered, nickel‑free, and made from certified 925 silver, they were designed specifically to support healing for breastfeeding mothers.

The relief was immediate. My skin healed, feeds became bearable, and breastfeeding finally became the bonding experience I had hoped for. When my family moved to Australia in 2014, I brought Silverette® with me the first of its kind in Australia and it marked the beginning of sharing something truly special with Australian mums.

Over time, many lookalike and unregulated versions appeared. As a mum, I can tell you: what you put on your skin during breastfeeding matters. Not all products are nickel‑free, medically tested, or made with certified materials and “similar‑looking” alternatives simply don’t offer the same safety or protection.

That’s why I trust the original Silverette® — still crafted in Italy, still owned by the same family of doctors, and still backed by decades of medical expertise. For more than 20 years, they’ve supported mothers with a level of quality no imitation can replace.

My hope is simple: that these little cups help you feel supported, confident, and protected during one of the most meaningful times of your life.
