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

Our machine washable breast pads are an eco-friendly, comfortable fit and more cost effective alternative to disposable breast pads. I had oversupply when breastfeeding each of my sons, which meant I was leaking milk constantly and found myself depending on nursing pads pretty much 24/7 for the entirety of my breastfeeding experience.

If you have oversupply, some moms recommend stacking two on top of each other for a little extra protection. Available in a thinner version for daytime wear and a thicker option for additional protection at night, Bamboobies bamboo-rayon-based pads are both eco-friendly and absorbent. Reusable breast pads tend to be thicker than disposables, so use a padded or thicker bra to keep them hidden. These cotton and nylon pads are made with an absorbent polymer that will keep you dry, comfortable and confident while you settle into your breastfeeding routine with your little one. Avoid using a tumble drier where possible; if you do use a tumble dryer make sure it's on the low heat setting.Lansinoh doesn’t share the specific material the pads are made from, but the brand does say that they’re made from recycled materials and free of fragrances, BPA and BPS. This can help the pad to stay in place, but it can also potentially irritate your skin if you have allergies or very sensitive skin. Each cup is surrounded by a silicone ‘skirt’ that prevents slippage and can be rotated to find your best fit. You may want to try a couple different types of disposable and reusable pads before investing too much in a particular one. So, a breast pad can be placed in the bra to soak up any leaked milk and save embarrassment of wet patches on your clothes.

Even if a nursing pad only needs to cover a small part of the breast to prevent leaks, you may feel more comfortable with a larger pad inside your bra to keep it from sliding around. Extra soft, breathable material reduces the risk of irritation, and the dual-layer construction provides protection without the added bulk you’ll find in some pads. These nursing pads come in two sizes: a thinner heart-shaped version and a thicker overnight style . In the final weeks of pregnancy and the early days of nursing, your body is preparing and perfecting the process of making sufficient milk to feed your baby. If breastfeeding has left your nipples cracked, sore and in need of some TLC, these natural silk-covered breast pads may help.

Many can also be tossed in the dryer on low heat, but if not, at least look for a lightweight material that will air-dry quickly. The bamboo viscose top layer of this product is soft on the skin while also being naturally antibacterial and antimicrobial.
