Fine, but not great,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
As a lactation educator, I was excited to see this product offered on Amazon Vine. However, while it certainly has a use, the seemingly clever design is not at helpful as one would imagine. Firstly, for a small breasted woman, the product is HUGE. If you are large breasted this is probably appreciated, but this is definitely designed for more of a D cup than a B or C. While it would seem this shouldn’t matter, the product doesn’t mold to the breast well for a smaller woman.Also, the hole in the center to shield the nipple from the temperature (can be used hot or cold) is clever, I suppose, but if you have a sore nipple, that is sometimes where you want relief! Also, if you have a sore or damaged nipple the terry cloth cover is going to stick to the skin, since there is not hold there. The weakest part of this product though is that you can’t heat it in the microwave. You are meant to put it in hot water to heat it up. When I have a hot/cold pack (I usually use flax seeds), I keep it in the freezer, so it is ready to use cold, and if I want it warm, pop it in the microwave. If this were kept in the freezer, I can only imagine how many cycles of hot water it would have to go through before it could be useful. And if not kept in the freezer, there would be a quite a wait time before it would ready as well. I would not recommend just planning to use it in the microwave against instructions because the plastic is clearly not appropriate for this purpose. In general, I would see the only practical use for this product being for engorgement when cold is helpful. However, the best remedy for engorgement is to NURSE OFTEN!! This was a nice idea…but I think a sock full of flax or rice is just as useful. |

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
These work ok, and the pads are a nice inclusion.The cooling pads are refreshing, and the included pads help to avoid any cold burn. However the ointments (from modela and others that are specifically designed for sore nipples) seem to work better than the ice/heat treatment. While a hot shower seems to help with the milk production, these hot pads didn’t seem to do much of a difference.
For those women that might be interested: - these probably work best for large (circumference, not length) nipples.

Eh Okay,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What’s this?)
The idea is good but it’s not living up to it’s promises. It takes a while to heat up and you must heat it up in hot water. You can’t microwave it so it’s not a convenient solution and it can only cover one area of the breast.These were okay for cold use however and did provide some relief to my aching breasts.
