They are very
soft and do not lose their softness after washes. They are very soft next to
your skin, a lot more comfortable than the disposable breast pads. I found them
absorbent and did not experience any leaks. For the majority of the time stayed
in place but I did have to readjust them a couple of times. I did not
experience any soreness or irritation when wearing these breast pads. I did not
notice these were visible under clothing. easy to launder the only thing I
could think that would make them easier is if they came with a mesh bag that
you could wash them in so that it would keep them together when they are being
washed or stored after washing. They are quite pricey for reusable breast pads
and require you to put a wash every other day at least, which generally is not
a problem in my household, but others may find this more of a disadvantage
depending upon how much washing they do. But considering that you can keep
these breast pads to use with subsequent pregnancies and how comfortable they
are makes them a worthwhile investment. I would purchase these and
recommend. I found that these breast
pads where very soft and comfortable to wear, with no leakages, I liked that
they gave you a larger sized pad for night. They wash well and maintain their
absorbency and softness. Very soft, comfortable and environmentally friendly
breast pads. Jessica Ricks – Leyla 4 Months

Was very
impressed how lovely and soft they felt.
These are comfortable and they feel better than disposables
.
I have a lot of leakage due to a fast let down and these let me down and soaked
through easily. They stay in place reasonably well, would be better if perhaps
the other side had more of a grippy texture. They don’t cause any irritation. Are not visible under clothing. Very easy to
wash by hand or pop in washing machine. Could do with the pack having a weeks’
worth of pads rather than 2 day 2 night as you would be able to wash some and
wear some at the same time. Not for me because of the leakage. I would recommend asI think it is definitely worth trying
to see if it works for you as it is more eco-friendly. I loved the idea of this
product and its softness just wish it had worked for me as I would definitely
have bought more and made the switch from disposables. Wish it had worked
for me and that the pack had more pads in it. Krishma Patel – Keira 3 Months

Lovely and
soft and very comfy against the skin. Very comfortable and discreet. Sadly, if
you have an abundant supply and one boob leaks a lot while you’re feeding on
the other or you leak a lot while your breasts are settling in the early days,
these can become totally saturated quite quickly. These do stay in place once
placed in your bra. As I found that they became quite soggy my nipples felt a
bit sensitive and a bit concerned that this damp environment could encourage
thrush so you really do need to change very frequently to stay hygienic. These are however not visible under your
clothing. They are easy to launder but
you do have to iron them flat to stop them curling up. Yes they are good value if
you have enough of them to change them frequently. Personally I would not
purchase this product. I would recommend
if I knew they leaked very lightly and once milk supply had totally settled
down. Disposables with the stay dry core are better for the early days of
breast feeding and anyone dealing with oversupply or who has an abundant supply
of milk but for anyone whose boobs are settled and just want peace of mind if they
leak a little it goes unnoticed, these do the job and are more comfortable than
a disposable pad. Great for the right customer but not necessarily suitable for
everyone. Gemma Harper – Laura 7 weeks
