Breastfeeding is a beautiful and rewarding journey, but for many mums, it can also come with challenges, especially when it comes to nipple soreness and cracking. One common and effective method to support healing is wet wound healing, a natural technique that keeps the skin moist, promoting faster recovery. At Pippeta, we’ve designed our best-selling silver nip cups to provide the ultimate comfort and healing solution for breastfeeding mums.
What is Wet Wound Healing?
Wet wound healing is a method that allows the skin to heal in a moist environment. This process helps prevent scabbing and crusting, which can delay healing and lead to further discomfort. Instead, moisture encourages cell regeneration, reduces the risk of infections, and promotes quicker, smoother recovery.
How Do Pippeta’s Silver Nip Cups Encourage Natural Healing?
Our silver nip cups are an ideal solution for wet wound healing, providing a safe and natural way to heal sore or cracked nipples. Silver has long been known for its antiseptic and antibacterial properties, making it a fantastic natural healer. By placing a small drop of breastmilk inside the nip cups before wearing them, you create a moist environment that promotes faster wound healing, while the silver works its magic to protect against bacteria and irritation.
Here’s how you can use our silver nip cups to encourage healing:
- Apply a drop of breastmilk to the inside of the cup after feeding or pumping.
- Place the cups directly on your nipples, ensuring they fit snugly inside your bra.
- Wear the cups throughout the day or night to relieve soreness and promote healing between feeds.
This simple routine can make a world of difference for mums experiencing discomfort while breastfeeding.

When to Seek Support for Breastfeeding and Pumping
While our silver nip cups are highly effective at promoting natural healing, it's important to address any ongoing pain or discomfort. If you’re experiencing persistent soreness or cracked nipples that don’t heal, it’s essential to reach out for professional advice. At Pippeta, we believe that every mum should have access to expert guidance. That’s why we offer free support from our in-house IBCLC (International Board Certified Lactation Consultant) with every purchase.
Our IBCLC can help you with:
