At first these pads worked fine if you only have a few leaks, but the more I washed them the more ridiculous they became. They come out of the washer and dryer all wadded and even after stretching them out, they leave you very lumpy looking. I wouldn't recommend them.

I am very disappointed in these Nursing Pads - jersey product. They are very, very thin and do not absorb leakage hardly at all. I can have one feeding and the nursing pad is soaked through enough to leak through my shirt. To get any kind of proper protection, I have to practically wear all 3 pads at one time. I do not even feel secure enough to wear these outside my home because they allow leakage through my shirt so easily.

I feel like these were a complete waste of my money. I want to be environmentally conscience as much as possible & buy reusable products but bad products like these nursing pads make a person want to give up & just buy the disposables nursing pads because you know those won't leak.

I absolutely do not recommend this product at all. - they are soft & I liked the size. I'll give them that much credit.

I tried 3 different brands and these are my favorite reusable nursing pads. Yes, I get drenched through my shirt when I go for a long time without nursing like overnight but they dry up quickly as well since they are breathable. Let's face it. All of the reusable nursing pads leak with a lot of milk supply (I never tried Lily Pads though). Knowing that, I use them to reduce waste and save money. These are perfect to use at home or outside if you know you'll be nursing regularly. If I know I will be outside for a long time without nursing, I will wear disposable pads which do not let milk leak through.

These are very absorptive and they don't crunch up like Medela pads so I like these the best.

i read the reviews of these and decided to go with them despite complaints, and i am very happy i did. they absorb more and stick less than my organic cotton ones. they are also wider circumference, bunch less, and show less. i wash mine on delicate, give them a few tugs, and line dry them, and i have had no problem with bunching, shrinking, or losing shape. i have never leaked through them, even when my son has not nursed all night. i am very happy with them: would buy them again or for a gift.

After going through a box of Dr. Browns nursing pads the first month after my baby was born, I decided to go for the washable pads and wanted to use some organic cotton ones. After I bought these and followed the detailed washing instructions (three times separately in hot water) I tried them out and leaked right through them. Very disappointed. Now it's back to the disposable pads.

I use these pads whenever I go out. I like that they are thin and can't really be seen through my shirt. My bras tend to be made of thin material and I like that I don't have to worry about people staring at my chest wondering "what those circles are?". I don't leak a whole lot; I always pump or nurse when I feel milk building up. But when I haven't been able to I haven't had any problems with leaking thru the pad either. Much better than disposables and more absorbent than cotton. Highly recommended!

I LOVE THESE. I'VE BEEN IN A BATTLE WITH INTRADUCTAL YEAST WHICH MEANS ULTRA PAINFUL. THESE HELP ME FEEL MUCH BETTER. THEY ARE VERY SOFT AND DO A NICE JOB. WHEN YOU HURT LIKE I DO ALL YOU CARE ABOUT IS COMFORT AND I REALLY WISH I HAD A MILLION MORE OF THESE. THEY ARE AWESOME!

I've tried three brands of washable and several disposables and these are by far the best in the long run (the Kushies have a seam that is uncomfortable). Babykicks also makes a flannel set, but over the long haul the jersey wash down to be softer. I've never had an issue with crinkling and always put them in the dryer - they come out perfectly flat (otherwise any brand dries stiff and uncomfortable if left to air dry). After 5 months of use, mine are nicely worn in (like a favorite soft cotton T-shirt that's been washed a million times). Some people complain that you have to wash them 5-6 times to get them soft - in the long run you'll wash them hundreds of times, depending on the day I can go through several in a hour (once they have any bit of wetness on them I chuck them in the laundry bin). If you're not yet nursing, buy several sets and just keep washing them every time you do laundry & they'll be great by the time the baby arrives. The disposables I couldn't even wear for 15 minutes they were so uncomfortable, plus they made plastic crinkle noises.

As much as I wanted these reusable pads to work they just don't. They are sufficiently absorbent but since there is no waterproof backing on them the moisture comes straight through. Even if I leak a bit it will quickly come through my bra and on to my shirt. There is no way I can wear these out of the house; I have no confidence that they work. I do still use them at home since I have them but need to use all three sets in a day. As soon as there is any moisture on the pads I change them before they soak through to my bra and shirt.

The only other reusable pads that I have are the Gerber and while they are not as absorbent they do have the waterproof backing and work better as well as being less expensive. I have no idea how much I leak in comparison to others but If I have disposable pads on they easily last all day or all night.

A reusable pad that works!! I use this all day and never have a problem with leaks, even in the early morning engorgement phase, it holds up like a champ. The only downfall is it's size. It's rather large for me, but it might be perfect for others.
