About Silverette Breastfeeding Cups
SILVERETTE® are mini cups that are worn over the nipples, helping to prevent, protect and alleviate painful, damaged nipples from breastfeeding.
Made of 925 sterling silver, SILVERETTE® cups take advantage of the natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties of silver, providing a healing environment for breastfeeding nipples. They are non-toxic, eco-friendly and so easy to use!
Silverette Breastfeeding Cups Sizing Details
Silverette® are available in two sizes - Original and XL.
The sizing only affects comfort, not the effectiveness. Regardless of the size, they will work as intended.
How to determine your size
Original size - Suitable for those with a bra size of a C cup or less and an areola size less than 4.5cm
XL size - Suitable for those with a bra size of a C cup or more OR an areola size of 4.5cm or more
Please also consider that pregnancy and milk production will change the size of your breasts and areolas. If your measurements are on the cusp during pregnancy it would be best to size up, as more than likely your breasts and areolas will enlarge when your milk comes in. It is better to have them slightly bigger than slightly smaller.
If in doubt, choose XL - it is the best 'one-size-fits-most'.
The same goes if you are ordering them as a gift. If you don't fancy asking the mama how big her areolas are (we get it), choose XL.
We recommend taking a break from wearing Silverette each day (or as needed) and letting your nipples air dry (in the sun is great!), especially if you leak a lot, to prevent excessive moisture exposure. A moist environment is conducive to healing and helps prevents cracks/tears/cuts, however, excess moisture exposure can irritate the nipples and surrounding skin, potentially causing thrush or dermatitis (uncommon but it can happen).
About Silverette the Brand
Handcrafted in Italy by licensed silversmiths for many years, they have a patented anatomical shape that has been tested to fit any size nipple without compressing it. The rounded shape allows air to circulate, while the edges have been folded by hand to avoid any discomfort.
Silverette are endorsed by midwives, lactation consultants and obstetricians around the world. And, just as importantly, have been tried, tested and loved by breastfeeding mothers all over the world.
Best of all, with a little care, Silverette cups will last forever! Whether you breastfeed one child or 10, these cups will see you through your entire breastfeeding journey. They should be the only nipple care product you will need, saving you money on Doctors visits, prescriptions and creams/balms.
Things to note
*IMPORTANT: While some irritation and discomfort from breastfeeding can be expected, especially as a first time mother, significant nipple damage should be investigated further. We recommend seeking the professional help of a Lactation Consultant to ensure the latch and positioning are correct and to ensure that there is no undiagnosed lip and/or tongue tie. If you seek professional advice, Silverette will help to heal any existing damage while the underlying cause is being determined.
*NB: Silverette cups are registered as a medical device under the WAND (Web Assisted Notification of Devices) database here in New Zealand. For medical devices to be legally supplied in New Zealand they must be notified to the WAND database.

Faults

Electrical Products
Before returning a battery operated item which you consider faulty, we require that you have tested your item with a brand new set of high quality batteries, such as Everyready GOLD, Energizer Plus or Duracell Plus. The majority of ‘faults’ are due to the use of poor quality batteries, such as using a mix of old and new batteries, using rechargeable batteries or cheap chain store or $2 shop batteries. If your item still seems to be faulty or the fault is with an item that is charged by cord then please email us on hello@bearandmoo.co.nz and we will contact the supplier. We may ask you to run some at home tests which we will email through. If these don’t work we will get the item back for testing and if it is deemed faulty then we will be happy to replace / refund depending on stock. If it is returned and not deemed faulty, you will be responsible for the cost of shipping.

How can I pay?
We’ve got options! Shopify payments allows you to use your credit card or Visa debit card. If you want to pay your order off, you can use Afterpay or Zip.
I'm trying to use my rewards code or discount code at the checkout and it's not working - why not?
A couple of possibilities! The most common is that there is a value pack in your cart. Because these are already discounted, rewards vouchers and discount codes aren't valid on these items. You may also be using another code already (Shopify only allows one code per order), or you perhaps have the code wrong. If you're not sure, flick us an email and we'll be happy to help you figure it out.
Do you allow pick ups?
Yes we do. We allow pick ups from our Warehouse at 20C Lake Road, Frankton, Hamilton. Please select pick up at the checkout and you will receive an email notification when your order is ready for collection, including the pick up hours. If the hours do not suit, please email us and we will do what we can. Please note that all pick ups are only during business hours.
What’s your policy around privacy and my details?
Your privacy is incredibly important to us. We will not disclose or sell your information or anyone … even if they ask really nicely. Credit card details are not stored anywhere. You can check out our full privacy policy here.
