How To Use Silverette 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 Silverette on as much as possible between breastfeeding sessions. Remove cups before breastfeeding.  Do not use any other nipple treatments in conjunction with Silverette.  Doing so may compromise or reduce the efficacy of the product. How Do I Clean Silverette cups? Wash them daily with warm water to remove any milk residues. To keep them shiny, make a paste using baking soda with a small amount of water. Rub the paste on the cups, rinse thoroughly and dry them. Can Silverette cups be used together with absorbent breast pads? Yes, they can. If you plan on using absorbent breast pads, place the breast pads over the Silverette cups. Your nursing bra will hold everything in place. Does the efficacy of Silverette cups diminish over time?
