Trilaminate, 999 or 925 — Which Cups Are Right for You?
A quick, honest guide to the differences between trilaminate, 999 and 925 silver nursing cups.
999 fine silver
The purest option. 99.9% silver, hypoallergenic and incredibly kind to sensitive skin. Built to last across multiple breastfeeding journeys and eligible for our ever-lasting program.
925 sterling silver
Sterling silver is 92.5% silver mixed with 7.5% copper, which adds strength. It is a beautiful, long-lasting option, although a small number of mamas with very reactive skin may prefer pure 999.
Trilaminate
A three-layer construction with a soft silver layer on the inside (the part that touches your skin) and supporting layers of copper and silver underneath. It is more affordable, comfortable to wear, and a wonderful entry point — designed to support you through one breastfeeding journey.
So, which one?
- Want the very best, long-term, possibly for future babies? Choose 999.
- Have a fuller bust or larger nipple diameter? Choose 999 XL.
- Want comfort and silver's benefits at a friendlier price? Choose trilaminate.
Whichever you pick, you are giving yourself something beautiful: a few quiet minutes of relief in the middle of a very big season.
