These made BF bearable, 10 Sept. 2012

These pads coupled with their balm made breastfeeding a LOT more bearable and stress free. The pads are extremely comfy as they cup around your nipple instead staying flat against them. Particularly important at the start when you are sore and bleeding. They are also actually absorbent - a rare find in nipple pads! My boy fed a LOT. So when the miracle happened that he went longer than 2 hours in the night - I would wake up in agony as I was full to the brim, but also soaking where I leaked... as soon as I swapped to these I still woke up bursting, but bone dry. Would HIGHLY recommend them. They are more expensive - but in this instance you definitely get what you pay for and to sum it up that is comfort and dryness.

Comfy and discreet, 26 Feb. 2012

As urged by every pregnancy book on the market, I went out and bought a box of 60 Lansinoh disposable nursing pads when I was expecting my daughter. The pads are shaped slightly, so that they fit with the contours of your breast, and have a sticky section that attaches to the inside of your nursing bra, to minimise slippage. On the few occasions that I used them, I found the pads both comfortable and discreet - they're quite thin, so they don't make your chest appear even larger than it does in the early stages of breastfeeding!I can't say that I really roadtested the pads fully for absorbancy as my milk supply tended to match demand pretty well from the outset. So the only advice I would give to first-time mums is that it might be worth buying a smaller quantity to start out, or going halves on a box with a friend, until you find out whether you're going to be a regular user. Otherwise, you'll end up with rather a lot to spare, as I did!

A must-have, 12 May 2015

A must have for new mums like myself. I wasn't quite prepared for how necessary breast pads are when you are breastfeeding, these are really comfortable and happily stay in place all day, even with the constant folding down to feed. The built-in lanolin also has good healing powers for the common problem of cracked and sore nipples in the first few weeks!
