LilyPadz® Reusable Silicone Nursing Pads Double Pair Regular Size

I started using LilyPadz when my first child was 4 months old. Once my milk production was stabilized, these were the only nursing pads I used. Now with my second child, I have been using the LilyPadz since birth. It is very rarely that I leak when wearing these pads. Leakage sometimes happens when I haven't nursed for a long time and am starting to get engorged. The nice thing about these pads is that small leaks typically don't make it outside of the area that the pad is adhered to until I remove the pad. With these pads, I don't have to wear a nursing bra at night and they don't slide around like the pads that fit inside the sleep bras. They are like a second skin, so no one can tell that I have a nursing pad on. All the other nursing pads would show thru my bras and look like I was padding my bra. They also work perfect for swimming, especially when I don't have padded cups in my swimsuit. By applying constant pressure to the nipple (thereby smoothing it out), milk is typically not released. The only time I recommend not using the LilyPadz is when you're engorged at the beginning of breastfeeding. I recommend using thick disposable pads at that time.I haven't purchased any of the LilyPadz cleaning supplies. I just wash the pads with dish soap and warm water then let them air dry. I always have two pairs on hand so that I only have to wash them once a day. On average, I have been able to make them last for about 2 to 3 months per pair.

Best mama product hands down. Had these for my 1st baby and was excited to reorder before I had my 2nd and 3rd babies. I wash probably twice a day and put now brand lanolin on the nipple area. The outer area without lanolin still sticks extremely well to my skin. This prevents me from leaking during let down on the side I'm not nursing from. As long as I don't go too long in between nursing. Works fine with all my bras and stays smooth, doesn't look weird under clothes. Since they're clear I would lose them all the time, especially at night in bed, but if you put a spot of nail polish on the outside you'll notice it better.

I couldn't stand wearing a bra to bed. But if I didn't, chances were I'd wake up with a wet shirt. I experience a fair amount of leakage, perhaps not as much as some considering I've never literally soaked through a cotton breast pad before, but enough to be taken seriously. These cups are amazing. I only used them at night, since during the day I was fine to wear pads under my bra, and I never had a problem. I'd have to be careful while nursing in the middle of the night, and hold a burp clothe under my breast as I peeled off the pad because I'd often find a cap full of milk inside - perfectly preserved and not leaking. I never got an infections or anything either. Having these were a great relief. I ended up buying 3 sets so two could be used or drying with one always ready to go at night. And they last - I used them consistently for about 4 months and then packed them away for possible kid #2. It was too bad I didn't actually get them until 3 mos in. If you're like me and can't stand wearing a bra of any sort at night, buy at least one of these and see if they work for you. You'll be glad you did.

Dear LilyPadz..... Please, please add some color. I have used these with 2 children now, and love their function compared to the many brands of breastfeeding pads that refuse to stay in place. However, it is almost maddening how easy they are to loose:( I spend almost as much time searching for the Lily Padz (sometimes for days) as using them. While they can work great (even on my engorged nipples this time), the worry of misplacing each transparent Lily Pad at $10 a pop is the last thing a new mom needs. Please find a way to put some color and pattern on the exterior side to make them easy to locate once laid down. Dear Fellow Moms, whatever you do, do not dry your Lily Padz with a towel, even if it feels like an emergency. I was having significant milk collecting inside. The milk gets odor, especially if you are sleeping with the Lily Padz. I tried drying them on a clean hand towel that had been washed many times and was relatively lint free. After doing that just a couple of times, 2 sets of LilyPadz completely lost their grip. Wash with water only, shake and air dry. I have not tried the new Lily Padz wipes (another undesirable expense) but used Lily Padz for a full year with our first child without spending on the wipes. I am unsure if they have altered the naturally adhesive side so that their wipes/ wash product have become more of a necessity.

This is a MUST HAVE for any nursing mama and my go-to gift for new breastfeeding mommies :)I've used these for all 4 of my breastfeeding journeys and I'm SO GLAD that I stumbled upon them when I was breastfeeding my first son. The disposable pads that are basically diapers for your nipples were VERY itchy and uncomfortable for me, plus having to remember to bring extra ones and having to unstick them to nurse or pump, then having to use another set just because the adhesive won't stick anymore: FRUSTRATING!!!The reusable cloth ones, though much better for the environment, would never stay in place because they didn't have adhesive, and they were SO obvious under my shirts it looked like I was making a "bullseye boobie" fashion statement, lol: NOT APPEALING!!!THESE are PERFECT! And the newer ones are a little thinner, adhere better, are more comfortable, and COMPLETELY unnoticeable! YES LilyPadz!!!The only advice I'd give to a newbie is to ensure to nurse/pump or otherwise remove them at least once every 8 hours to allow the nipples and areolas to BREATHE, lol, and prevent leaking.Please note: these DO NOT ABSORB MILK , they depress the nipples in a bit to keep them from leaking in the first place! An innovative concept, I think, but all the more important to take them off regularly.You can swim in them, sweat in them, and even "do the do" in them without worrying about springing a leak, lol! If you're breastfeeding you MUST get a pair! Or TWO!!! :D Happy breastfeeding lovely ladies! :)
