Favourite breastpads, 2 Mar. 2014

These are fantastic. Am breastfeeding a second baby and have tried loads of breastpads, these are without a doubt my favourite. Can't understand reviews that said they were visible through tops, haven't found this to be a problem at all. They don't have sticky bits to stick to your bra the way some brands do, but again haven't found this to be a problem.They are breathable. Didn't understand the comfort that goes with breathability before trying these, now non-breathable ones just feel horrible. A bit like the difference between polyester and cotton.They come in a cardboard box which is recyclable, they aren't individually packaged in plastic which is a ridiculous waste of plastic, they aren't made with a load of plastic so they're breathable, and they're made using a sustainable source so they're eco-friendly. Can't rate these highly enough.

A great natural alternative but not reliable., 11 July 2014

Finally, some breast pads that aren't scratchy and covered in rustly and totally unnecessary plastic pouches! I also LOVE the fact these pads are eco-friendly and 100% natural. I have to say that it concerns me greatly that so many breast pads are made using chemicals, traces of which could then be ingested by baby when it nurses. They are soft and non-irritating to a very sensitive area of skin.

However, there are some quite major drawbacks with these breast pads :

I find they are just too small. They have ended up leaking on quite a few occasions and particularly overnight. The absorbency is fairly good but the lack of waterproof backing means they saturate and then milk leaks through the back. They shift around a lot too. I don't feel very confident wearing them out of the house, just because I have visions of them making an escape from my bra!

So my quest for the perfect breast pad continues...in the meantime, I will continue to wear these just around...

not numerous problems but cheap and nice shape, 19 Feb. 2015

Reasonable price and nicely contoured, however, soaked through rapidly and numerous times they "stuck" to my nipples which, when all you want to avoid during breastfeeding is painful nipples, was far from ideal! Also if I wasn't able to change them as soon as they got wet they dried out, which is fine, but they set like concrete!
