These small, cup-shaped devices, crafted from 925 silver, are designed to be worn over the nipples between breastfeeding sessions. They offer a passive method of protection and are intended to help maintain optimal skin integrity in this sensitive area. The use of silver in this context leverages its inherent properties to create a favorable environment for natural healing and protection.
Historically, silver has been recognized for its antimicrobial characteristics and has been employed in various applications for wound care and infection control. The benefits associated with these nipple cups include potentially faster healing of damaged skin, reduced discomfort, and the creation of a barrier against friction from clothing. This can contribute significantly to a more positive breastfeeding experience for the lactating parent.
