Lansinoh Washable Nursing Pads, Teardrop Contoured Bamboo Viscose pad, Reusable Breast Pads for Every Day and Night use for Breastfeeding Mums, (Pack of 4)

Product Information

They're so soft and comfortable next to my skin, wash without issues and they don't have a back, so there's less fussing when repositioning after a feed or a pump. The bamboo core is an upgrade on the previous material, soybean, and makes these pads twice as absorbent as they were previously. The super soft cotton lining will wick away milk into the absorbent bamboo viscose core, keeping your clothing dry and allowing your skin to breathe.

These pads aren’t individually wrapped if you want to take them with you in your purse or diaper bag. Whether it’s colostrum before the baby arrives or when the milk “comes in”, it’s likely that every mother will experience some form of leakage during their pregnancy or breastfeeding journey. Why we love it: We are staunch fans of Elvie, a femm-tech giant that's behind some of our favourite breast pumps, and this is just another forward-thinking innovation from the brand.

Eco-conscious parents might prefer reusable pads over disposable ones, and these contoured, washable bamboo nursing pads give them all they’re looking for in this type of product. It also won’t disintegrate and stick to your skin, unlike pads made from water-soluble fibres such as paper or cellulose. They should allow your breasts to breathe, so avoid pads with waterproof or plastic inner liners that can trap moisture against your skin.

The upfront cost for reusable pads is higher, and you’ll need to put in the effort to launder them correctly.These gel pads aren’t a traditional nursing pad — unlike others on this list, Soothies aren’t designed to absorb milk. They come in handy little woven plastic packs for both convenience and hygiene, making them easy to throw in your handbag or pocket discretely. The largest size measures 14 centimeters across, making it significantly more generous than most other nursing pads. These are a great choice for environmentally conscious mums who prefer the convenience of disposable breast pads but don’t want to sacrifice on natural materials. Bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments, so breast pads can become a breeding ground if you don’t change them frequently.

The new and improved EcoNursing Pads offer a contoured shape with two types of pads in one pack: ultra-soft, velvety, flower-shaped Day-sies for daytime use and thick, contoured, organic bamboo pads for heavier or night-time flow when you go longer without feeding. Each cup is surrounded by a silicone ‘skirt’ that prevents slippage and can be rotated to find your best fit. Avoid using a tumble drier where possible; if you do use a tumble dryer make sure it's on the low heat setting. Unexpected leakage or let-down is a common occurrence that can be embarrassing if you’re not prepared. In tune with feeding schedules, in the beginning that can be as often as every two or three hours,” says Dr.Our reusable breast pads are shaped to fit the contour of your breast for a comfortable and discreet fit. In this case, you might want to look for pads that provide full-coverage to ensure the entire area is covered.

Soft and natural with a slightly cupped shape and one large adhesive strip, we found that the pads did a good job in keeping us dry throughout the day, although those who heavily leak will need to swap them out regularly, and we wouldn’t recommend them for overnight wear. Even after your body’s milk production has regulated and the sudden let-downs subside, leaks and surprises can still occur while you nurse. Little Lamb washable breast pads are fabulous and one of the very best washable breast pads I’ve ever used and I’ve tried many brands over the years of breastfeeding my three children. Despite being thin and subtle, they offer a triple whammy of protection, including a core that contains a liquid-soaking foam and a waterproofed polyester coating. They’ve gone a bit bobbly after a few cycles of washing/tumble drying but this hasn’t affected comfort.They have a clever domed shape which makes them snug and discreet under even the tightest of clothes. It's very common for breasts to leak or drip milk after giving birth as your body adjusts to producing the amount of milk you need for your baby — and this can happen whether or not you're breastfeeding your child. Billed as being now twice as absorbent as before, these pads have a hidden waterproof layer to soak up any daytime leaks.
