The incredible properties of silver
- Silverette® the origina cups are made entirely of solid 925 silver.
- 925 silver is the purest workable silver in existence, in fact with the purest silver (999 silver) it is only possible to carry out baths or laminations on artifacts whose structure is made up of other materials that can give allergies. Therefore the 100% Silver words cannot be true.
- Since ancient times, silver has been recognized as having an antibacterial and healing effect; it is still widely used in medicine today (eg as a disinfectant, plasters, etc.).
- For the benefit of the buyers, with the law of 5.02.1934, the double hallmark of silver objects is imposed: the first hallmark, enclosed in an oval, must indicate the silver fineness, the second hallmark, currently enclosed in a hexagon, identifies the manufacturer .
- Silver cups without the double hallmark are not in accordance with the law.
How to use
After your breastfeeding session, leave a couple of milk drops in each cup and apply them directly to the nipple like cupping glass. Remove cups and rise accurately the nipples with water before breastfeeding. Do not use any other nipple treatment in conjunction with Silverette®: this could reduce or even compromise the efficacy of the product.
Cleaning and maintenance
Silverette® can tarnish over time due to the natural oxidisation process that occurs in silver, however it is still safe and effective to use. To remove the tarnish, make a paste using a mix of bicarbonate of soda (one teaspoon) with a few drops of water. Rub the paste over the cups, rinse and pat dry.
