Koala Babycare The Original Nursing Cups 100% Silver – Nipple Shields for Nursing Newborn - Breastfeeding Essentials Protect and Soothe Cracked Nipples - Maxi Size

EDIT: Changed from 2 to 5 stars because they were only tarnished and a little bit of baking soda and water made them look brand new. You can also purchase silicone silverette rings to pad the sharp edges!I've been using these for 1 week, and I'll be buying a new pair by a different brand. I"m a first time mom so I didn't know if these were really something I needed, therefore I went with this most cost-effective option.Pros:- They really do work to soothe sore nips and keep them from cracking.Cons:- The finish is coming off of them, or maybe they're tarnishing... I'm not sure. They just look really beat up already and I'm scared that if it's the finish coming off, where is it going? Onto my breast and them into my baby's mouth?- Once my mature milk came in they were extremely uncomfortable - the edge feels like a razor blade and it's difficult to wear.

It's worth the money. Helps sooth sore, dry and cracked nipples. Also has a barrier between you and clothes for some more protection when you nipples are sore. It was better than any cream I used. It would also hold breastmilk against your nipple which is the best thing to treat them when dry and cracked.

Convenient and soothing! Worth every penny and highly recommend for all breastfeeding Mamas!

Can’t wait to try these - I’ve heard so many great things.

I bought these two years ago when I had my first child and they were great. Lasted and were super durable. Never tarnished and never bent and I used them for a year. I bought another set this year for my second child and they were tarnished coming out of the box and bent way too easily so that I already feel like they should be replaced after using for just one week. The quality between last time and this time seems to have dropped significantly and I’m very disappointed in the product now.UPDATE: Seller reached out and determined refund was in order based on lower quality in newer silver cups. Issue was sent to manufacturing team to resolve. Thank you!

These are the gift I give my new mama friends! I wish I had had them for my first baby, I think they would have kept me from quitting so soon. These are life savers.

I purchased the larger size. I don’t have large nipples by any means, certainly smaller than a 24mm pump flange, for reference. After pumping or feeding, I would put these cups on and they would push in on my nipples which wasn’t always pleasant. Also, the metal is so thin that they had some bends in them within a week - Simply from grabbing them and trying to pull them out of my bra. Lastly, because they are thin, the indention they left against my boobs was sometimes very unpleasant, especially if I was holding little one. I ended up getting a different brand that was thicker and had a larger size with silicone rings. it’s a game-changer compared to this brand.On the plus side, these do what they claim. They definitely soothe and help heal cracked nipples. So, I will give them that! Any brand, as long as it’s silver, will provide the same benefit. It’s totally worth getting silver cups for your breastfeeding journey. Honestly, having silver cups has been the best addition to my journey. Like I said, spend your money on a brand that is thicker and has silicone rings. Thank me later!

Works fine so far. My milk bits are healing. Those are the pros but the cons are that if you bend a certain way or say pick up a very Mobile baby there is some pinching that may happen. Also you can see them through your shirt. My bra has padding and you can still see them poking through. If you are a SAHM it's cool but if you're a working mom like myself with older kids that embarrass easy, wear a jacket
