Product description of the manufacturer
The silver cap from Koala Babycare is an innovative product for protecting sensitive nipples during breastfeeding. It provides a protective barrier for sensitive nipples, ensures comfort and supports well-being during breastfeeding. The product is made of high-quality 925 silver with natural antibacterial properties and is available in two sizes to ensure a perfect fit. Thanks to their anatomical shape, the caps are almost invisible under clothing and can be worn discreetly. Another advantage is that no nipple ointments or creams are necessary, as the silver caps preserve the taste and odour of breast milk. The product is environmentally friendly, reusable and made in Italy.
During the test phase, it was found to be very easy to use. However, the caps could offer a little more comfort for very sensitive skin. Overall, the silver cap is a practical solution for breastfeeding mothers.
