Frequently Asked Questions

Silver has been known and used for generations for its antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial qualities. Current scientific studies confirm these benefits. 

Niliana has been crafted in an anatomically accurate shape of the nipple and your nipple’s contact with silver aids in providing relief to sore skin around the breast area, and promotes disinfection and repair. 

Few drops of your own breast milk helps keep the nipples soft and moist.

Sore and cracked nipples are a very common problem amongst breastfeeding mums. There are several solutions to this problem, such as using creams, cold compresses, and different types of nipple coverings. 

Using creams and compresses costs a fortune in the long run, whereas you only need to purchase Niliana once in your life. Also, chemicals from creams cause concern for some mums as babies are very sensitive to chemical substances.

Silicone nipple covers are also an alternative, however they are made of plastic, and need to be replenished frequently. Niliana Silver Nipple Cups are handmade with 100% natural 925 silver, and can be used indefinitely without ever wearing out.

To prevent or ease sore nursing nipples, leave a couple of drops of breast milk in each cup at the end or your breastfeeding session and place the cups directly over the nipple like a cupping glass. Keep cups on for as long as possible between breastfeeding sessions. Remove the cups before breastfeeding.

Do not use any other nipple treatments in conjunction with Niliana. Doing so may compromise or reduce the efficacy of the product.

They are very easy to clean, simply wash them after each usage with warm water and use your fingers to remove any milk residue.

We recommend that you use your Niliana Silver Nipple Cups for as long as you can between breastfeeding sessions. Continue to do so until all cracks and cuts on your nipples are healed, and you can breastfeed without pain. Afterwards, use them as needed.

As long as you keep your cups clean, they are safe to use with the same efficacy, no matter how long you use them! You can even save and use your Niliana cups for your future children.

Absolutely! We recommend the use of Niliana as a preventive measure. Through natural antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antifungal properties of silver, Niliana creates a safe and comfortable environment for your nipples.

Yes, you can. If you want to use absorbent breast pads, place your Niliana Cups under the pads, directly touching your nipples.
