LilyPadz® LilyWash® Silicone Cleanser 1.58 Fl Oz

Works Great

I bought two of these. Not sure why I thought I would need two of these. I still have a quarter of a bottle left of the first bottle. The wash is a must for anyone who has Lily Padz. It's super easy to use and keeps your pads clean and good for reuse. I am not sure if you can use anything else with our Lily Padz, I didn't try as I bought this and wanted to keep my Lily Padz the way I bought them since those are expensive. I would recommend buying this with your Lily Padz. I also used the Lily Wipes when I was on the go when I was pumping which was super nice.

I have used this product since the very first time I used my Lilypadz. I have used both the Lilypadz and the cleanser just 4 times as I usually wear machine-washable nursing pads instead. The first two times I used the cleanser, it seemed to work very well and restored the Lilypadz to their original stickiness. However, the next time I went to wear them after having cleaned them, they did not stick as well as before. I used very hot water every time and rubbed them with the soap with my fingers for about 1-2 full minutes. Since the Lilypadz didn't stick so well after the third use and washing, I began to wonder if this cleanser cleans any better than a regular handsoap would have. ??? I really wanted to love this product but it did not restore the Lilypadz every time I have used it.

I used lilypadz when my 9 year old was a baby (i think they had just come out then). Back then, the website suggested cleansing the padz with dish liquid, they had no lilywash back then. At that time my lilypadz lasted for 6 months of daily use. This time around, years later, I cleaned them again with dish liquid. Within a month the lilypadz were ruined. i repurchased more padz along with this wash and this time they lasted around 2 months. I don't know if they changed something in the padz themselves or what but they will only last longer than a month with the lilywash now so you are forced to purchase it. Also, it appears to have the same ingredients as johnsons original baby wash/shampoo but in a foaming container. I would try it but I'm afraid my lilypadz would be ruined yet again and I would have to repurchase more. All in all the wash works great but it is very small and I had to wait awhile to receive because it had to be back ordered. Also, it barely lasted me a month of everyday use.

After purchasing the lilyPadz silicone nursing cups I decided to purchase the cleaner too to get the most out of my cups. This cleaner is a must for the cups! The foam lasts forever and is the perfect cleaner to keep your cups sticky. I used this product when I nursed my son for a year and now use them for nipple coverage after having breast implants. The cups are thick, sticky over and over and smooth under clothing. The cleaner word much better than any non harsh soap. The foam makes a difference when washing the cups out.

My first pair of Lilypadz lasted 2 months as advertised by using Meyer's soap to clean them. I purchased this recommended wash to see if they might last a bit longer, but unfortunately they only lasted 3 weeks using this wash as instructed! The pads completely lost their tackiness. I had to open a new pair and went back to using Meyer's and haven't had issues since. Upset this wash ruined a pair, since they are a bit pricier than most pads. A mild, natural soap does the job better than this wash.

Well worth the investment if you have bought the lily pads. Simple and easy to wash each morning (or evening). I wash them right before my shower and let them dry while I'm washing and drying myself. They have much better stick when washed every day. (I get milk on mine and fuzz from my clothing that makes it much less sticky.)

I have had my Lilypadz since January, so I've been using them for over 6 months now, and they continue to work like a charm. I purchased the Lilywash to help keep them clean, and I feel that it does a great job. Also I was able to make the first bottle of Lilywash last almost 5 months. I'm not a chemist, so I really don't know if it's any different from other antibacterial hand washes or liquid-to-foam cleaners etc., but I'd much rather invest in and use the Lilywash to keep my Lilypadz clean knowing that it's approved to clean them.
