30-Second Quick Start

1

Milk Drops

Skip creams. Add a few drops of breast milk to create a comfortable, protective environment.

2

Seal & Support

Center the cup over the nipple and wear a nursing bra to keep it secure and comfortable.

3

Rinse + Dry

Between uses: warm rinse, mild soap if needed, and dry immediately with a soft cloth.

The Usage Ritual

Step 1 — The Magic Drop Do not use creams, lotions, or balms. Add a few drops of breast milk into the cup instead.
Step 2 — The Perfect Seal Place the cup directly over your nipple and center it in the hollow. It should sit gently like a shield.
Step 3 — Secure & Heal Wear your nursing bra over the cups to keep them secure. Move, rest, or sleep—comfort first.
Reminder

Always remove cups before breastfeeding.

The Care Ritual

Real silver reacts with air and moisture. Yellow, grey, or dark spots are called tarnish—a normal sign of genuine 925 silver, not plating. Choose the right ritual for the level of tarnish.

Ritual Level 1 — Gentle Refresh For light spots: a small baking soda paste (or non-gel toothpaste) can help refresh surface marks. Rinse and dry immediately.
Ritual Level 2 — Deep Revival (The Scotch Method) For heavy dark tarnish: use the abrasive side of a dish sponge or specialized polishing pad dry.
💡 Manufacturer’s Secret: Prevent Bending

Silver is soft. Scrubbing too hard can change its shape. Here is the trick:

  • Nest them: Place one cup inside the other like stacking bowls.
  • Scrub Safely: Clean the inner cup's inside and the outer cup's outside.
  • Swap: Switch positions and repeat. The double layer creates a solid structure!
Important

Never use bleach, harsh chemicals, steel wool, or the dishwasher. Do not boil. Treat cups like fine jewelry.

FAQ

Can I wear them while sleeping? +
Yes. They’re designed for 24/7 comfort. Wear a nursing bra to keep them secure in place.
Do I need to sterilize them? +
No boiling is needed (and boiling can risk shape changes). Between uses, warm water and mild soap is enough—then dry immediately. For shine, follow the Care Ritual above.
My cups turned yellow/black. Are they ruined? +
Not at all. This is tarnish—normal for genuine 925 sterling silver. Use Gentle Refresh for light spots, or Deep Revival (dry abrasive pad) for heavy dark tarnish.
How do I remove heavy, stubborn tarnish? +
Use the abrasive side of a dish sponge / Scotch pad dry. Support the cup on a microfiber cloth. (Tip: Nest cups inside each other to prevent bending).
Will the abrasive pad scratch my cups? +
Used gently, it’s effective for heavy tarnish. Over time, silver may develop a soft satin finish—this is normal and does not affect performance.
What if I used creams or lanolin? +
Wash with mild soap and warm water, rinse well, and dry. Going forward, use a few drops of breast milk inside the cup instead of creams.
How should I store them to reduce tarnish? +
After fully drying, wipe the cups and store them in an airtight sealed bag (air expelled). Then place the bag inside your velvet pouch.
Are they safe for my baby? +
Yes. Our cups are nickel-free and chemical-free. Remove the cups before breastfeeding.
