Koala Babycare K_CPC_Maxi Nursing Cups, Maxi Tri-Laminate Silver
Product description
Quick sizing guide
For coverage between nursing sessions, the Maxi size helps shield sensitive nipples from direct contact with clothing. Each cup measures 1.73 x 1.73 x 0.47 inches. The Regular size is listed at 1.69 inches in diameter and 0.25 inches high, so the Maxi option has a deeper profile. Choose based on the cup size that best suits your preferred coverage and fit.
Pros
The anatomical cups create a barrier between the nipple area and clothing, helping reduce rubbing when the skin feels tender. Their non-perforated design supports the product’s moisture-based approach to silver’s soothing properties. The cups are worn inside a bra and are designed to sit discreetly under clothes, making them practical for everyday wear between feeds.
To use them, place a drop of breast milk inside each cup to help it adhere, then position the cups over the nipples and put on a bra. Remove them before breastfeeding. The product is odorless and is designed not to change the taste or smell of breast milk, so it can be used without applying nipple cream. As a reusable alternative to disposable nursing pads, the cups are intended for use throughout a breastfeeding period and future pregnancies.
Buyer feedback often highlights soothing comfort and use between pumping and nursing. Experiences with durability vary, some buyers report rust over time. The care guidance notes that silver may darken naturally through oxidation and recommends gently rubbing the cups with a soft cloth and a paste of water and baking soda.

Practical questions
How do you wear the nursing cups? Place a drop of breast milk inside each cup, position it over the nipple, and put on a bra to hold the cups in place. Remove them before nursing.
Can they be used with nipple cream? The cups are designed to be used without creams or lotions. Their odorless material is described as not altering breast milk’s taste or smell.

When it makes sense
These Maxi nursing cups suit breastfeeding routines where reducing clothing friction and keeping a reusable protective layer close at hand are priorities.

For someone choosing between a reusable cup and single-use nursing pads, this option offers a reusable silver design intended to serve across breastfeeding periods.
