The only daytime nursing pad to use,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What’s this?)
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. |

Made life worth living again,

I had a really rough time getting started with breastfeeding. I mean, *really* rough. I was a little skeptical whether these would help, but I am telling you, they made life worth living again!I had serious nipple pain and soreness due to a bad initial latch followed by an oversupply problem, leading to constant leaks. Having tender open wounds continually soaked in wetness was horribly painful to say the least. I would have traded unmedicated labor and delivery for the 6 weeks of pain I experienced from these issues. I was desperate for a solution and sick of changing my shirt four times a day (even with a towel tucked into my bra!).
Prior to these, I tried homemade cotton/flannel pads and some storebought cottony material reusable pads (which stick to your nipples when dry and rip off like a bandaid – ouch!) as well as the soothies/hydrogel nursing pads (which sting like the dickens, I think if any milk leaks), and Philips AVENT Comfort Breast Shells (which are supposed to just collect the milk in a reservoir but they’re ridiculous-looking and huge and you’re supposed to wear them a maximum of 40 minutes so they aren’t a solution even around the house – they really are for collecting milk from the opposite side during pumping/nursing). Going without anything left me with a soaked shirt and was just as painful to have fabric rubbing. These were unsatisfactory solutions. I balked at the price of the LilyPadz but was desperate enough to go ahead and I am glad I did.
Total bliss! First, they actually *prevent* milk leaks rather than just sopping them up. I was leaking an ounce or more at times, and the other pads that just try to soak up the liquid would fail. These Lilypadz apply pressure to the nipples and it actually works to prevent any milk leaking! They have their limits, so I did experience ‘blowouts’ at times where finally a whole gush would be released and leak out of these (hence a backup towel was still necessary when oversupply was at its peak), but there’s only so much you can expect from a pad; for lesser amounts it really worked to keep any milk from exiting the breast at all! Now that my supply is only a little over-much they work great to prevent all leaks.
Second, they vastly improved my comfort level. No stinging, no sticking to the nipple itself. Made it possible to wear a shirt comfortably, and also to keep that shirt dry most of the time.
They are rated to last 2 months if washed properly. I ruined mine within a week because I didn’t have the LilyWash and they gradually lost their stickiness (definitely buy the wash; it’s really necessary unless you have hand soap that is pure and lacks moisturizers and other additives). Still, this is an awesome product and I’m almost inclined to send the company a thank you card for making life worth living during a very tough time.
Helpful tip: I initially thought the product didn’t work AT ALL and almost returned it… because I did not remove the sticky flexible pad from its plastic storage base *blush*. Blame the postpartum sleep deprivation but it really looked like it was one piece but in reality you have to peel the pad off of the stiff plastic base prior to use. To be fair to myself, the instructions on the package are not at all clear about this but thankfully I figured it out!
Must have for nursing moms,

The best nursing pad I’ve tried… it really works! You can wear them with or without bra, even, and it won’t leak.
