FAQs

How do Lansinoh Silver Nursing Cups work?

They create a physical barrier over the nipple and areola, protecting sensitive skin from friction caused by clothing. The pure silver also offers natural antimicrobial properties to support the healing environment.

Can I wear them all day?

Yes, they are designed for comfortable all-day wear due to their lightweight and anatomical design. However, it's good practice to remove them periodically for cleaning and to allow the skin to breathe.

How often should I clean them?

It is recommended to rinse them with warm water after each use and dry them thoroughly. A more thorough cleaning with mild soap or a silver polish can be done periodically, especially if tarnishing occurs.

Are they safe to use with creams?

These cups are designed to provide protection and support healing without the need for additional creams. Applying creams may interfere with the silver's properties and the cup's fit.

What is the main benefit of using silver?

Pure silver has naturally recognized antimicrobial properties that help create a protective barrier, supporting the healing of irritated or cracked nipples and preventing further irritation.

Can I reuse them for future pregnancies?

Yes, the Lansinoh Silver Nursing Cups are designed for long-term use and can be reused across multiple breastfeeding journeys, making them a sustainable choice.

What is included in the box?

The box contains two Lansinoh Silver Nursing Cups.

Troubleshooting

Cups feel uncomfortable or pinch.

Ensure the cups are positioned correctly over the nipple and areola, and that they are not too tight against the breast. Try adjusting the fit or applying a small amount of breast milk to help them glide into place.

Nipple irritation persists or worsens.

Discontinue use and consult with a lactation consultant or healthcare provider. Ensure the cups are clean and that there are no sharp edges. Proper positioning is crucial.

Silver nursing cups are tarnishing significantly.

Tarnishing is natural for pure silver. Clean with a dedicated silver polishing cloth or a paste of baking soda and water. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely.

Cups are difficult to keep in place.

Ensure the inner surface has a small amount of breast milk or a similar lubricant to help create a gentle seal. Wear a supportive bra that doesn't put excessive pressure on the cups.
