Bamboobies Ultra-Soft Velour Nursing Pads – Reusable, Washable & Leak-Proof – 2 Ultra-Thin and 2 Overnight Pads for Breastfeeding

I have two-year old twin toddlers and a three month old baby whom I EBF. With my twins, I only used cloth nursing pads, and felt that they were more absorbent, comfortable, and provided great coverage. Also, I tandem nursed them until they were four months-ish. I found bamboo nursing pads (not Bamboobies) when they were about five months, and just loved how incredibly comfortable and soft they were. But, I pumped after that. And, I was on a pumping schedule because I had two little mouths to feed. So, those pads worked well. I didn't allow too much time in-between pumping sessions, so I wasn't really leaking. Fast forward to EBF my baby. I haven't pumped, so it's all on demand. With that, she's a great feeder, but there are times that she's slept too long, we've been out somewhere, and I started leaking in the same pads that I formerly loved and highly recommended. There is a difference between pumping nursing pads and BF nursing pads... by that, I mean for the function. These are more suitable for BF since there is a longer break time than the strict pumping ritual. As for me, I haven't leaked once out and about even if my baby sleeps too long, I wake up feeling dry because they are so absorbent (unlike before) and sometimes I can "reuse" them without having to wash them because they are that dry! [Either that or my body is getting familiar with her demands] I do also enjoy the shape of them... much easier to fit in the bra opposed to the circular shape. I do like wearing my hearts upside down... in case I leak below. Even though I purchased the larger pack... the 6 PAIR (three night, three day), I might have to purchase another. Seriously. So worth it when I can't get to washing my pads during laundry days (I also CD). I do have to say that I was going to purchase a similar pack (unavailable at Babies 'R Us), but it didn't have the 6 PAIR, and WITH a coupon, it was still going to be more expensive (once the pairs and price were factored in) rather than purchasing on Amazon. With Prime, I also got free shipping and didn't pay tax, which was a factor should I purchase at BRU. Definitely cannot recommend these enough. A must-have gift for any BF mother. As for pumping? I'd assume any feeding mother would want these for comfort. ;)

I was using disposable pads and disposable diapers while nursing my first child, then I switched to cloth diapers with my second. To be more "green" I decided to give the cloth pads a try as well. First I bought a couple of the Avent brand. I considered them nice (that was when nursing my first one). But they leaked a lot. I thought that it has to be acceptable since they are cloth. And now, I decided to try some other brand, and after reading reviews of the bamboobies I decided to purchase them. OH BUOY! I was so wrong considering the Avent pads "nice"! The bamboobies are incredibly softer, more absorbent. and they look nice. No leaks, even during the first days when breasts are really full (breastfeeding moms know what I am talking about!) So I got a couple of the day time pads and a couple of night time pads (I purchased the variety pack and the pack of the daytime pads). both are great quality, the two packs should last for almost a week or so before you have to wash them again. But since I run the washer every other or third day, I never run out of the pads. They wash well (I throw them in the washer with diapers, which I wash on hot with a cold pre-wash and a cold rinse, so they are really clean!). It says not to dry on hot (or warm), I dry them on medium heat or air-dry them. They are so much softer than the disposable ones, they absorb very well (especially the bamboo night time ones!!! I think those absorb even more than disposable!) You really cannot see them through your shirt, even a thin one. Ok, the big question is: can you use Lanolin with the cloth pads? well, I don't, because it is so difficult to get rid of lanolin stains. I use coconut oil as nipple cream (which you can also use as a diaper area cream with cloth diapers), which washes out perfectly and IS safe for your baby (no need to wash it away before nursing) (approved by a doctor!) And they are made by a WAHM, who does a great job! Try to count how many nursing pads you need during the couple of weeks or months that you breastfeed, and you will see those are a good investment compared to the disposable ones.

Okay estuve usando protectores de lactancia desechables y eran demasiado incómodos, me picaban, me molestaban se sentía algo muy ajeno a mi cuerpo y a mi piel y tener que traerlo todo el día todos los días. En cuanto me puse los bamboobies me enamoré por la sensación y suavidad con mi piel. Es un gran gran cambio, en verdad los recomiendo!!

Giving this a 4 star instead of 5 because the packaging is more or less destroyed when it reached me so I do not recommend getting these as gifts plus it’s super dusty as well (I’m wondering why). The pads itself are soft and what I imagined it to be - I have sensitive skin so a lot of the disposable options are out of the question, they make my parts itch and are super uncomfortable.

Have been using these for over a month now. Still love them. I wash them with any wash: baby clothes, sports clothes, dark or whites, non bio liquid or sports wash. Also tumble dry them. Still working well. I bought five packs (of 4) in the end as I get through 8 bamboobies in 24 hours. Highly recommend these.

Me gustaron mucho, ya me compre más. Me gustan más las de día. Aunque si se llegan a marcar un poquito con la ropa.

Son mis favoritos! Me encantan, protegen y absorben muy bien, es muy suavecito el material :)
