I hate nursing pads. I hate that they get all wrinkly and folded over if you have them in longer than five minutes, and how they're all heavy and yellow when you take them out. I hate that you can see them under your shirt, and that if you forget to change them you get chafed and sore. That said, I hate Lansinoh the least. I systematically tried every nursing pad made, from all price ranges and brands, and these are the least hateful. They modestly hide under your clothing, and let me go to work with my mind on my job, not my blouse. They're very absorbant, and don't leave you with that nasty damp feeling, even if you forget to change them for a bit.

I recently had my first child and started my search for a breast pad soon thereafter. I've tried at least 5 brands at this point. I started with the original version of these Lansinoh pads and they were very absorbant, but just too scratchy for my sore nipples. So then I proceeded to try several other brands that either didn't absorb much at all or didn't have any adhesive, etc. While trying to decide what I was going to try next, I noticed that the label on the Lansinoh pads said it was new and improved, "Now Even Softer"! Yay, just what I was looking for.

These new pads are:
1. absorbant
2. have two adhesive strips to keep them in place
3. are much softer than the original version I had tried in September of 2010
4. are individually wrapped, so I can pack them in my purse without worrying about them getting dirty and can only change 1 if I need to
5. I personally have never had a problem with them being able to be seen on me and the only time they have bunched for me is after feeding my son and trying to put the bra back into place, which would happen no matter which brand you use
6. I have also never had one break open
7. I have only had them leak once, and it was extremely full at that point (I had too much milk and was trying to wait as long as possible before pumping)

I guess I don't know how they could improve them much unless they found a way to keep them from bunching up while feeding a baby.

I got these for my wife. I had bought a small box at another store and she liked them, so I bought the 4-pack box from Amazon. It turns out that the small box I had bought earlier was an "ultra-soft" variant and the 240 that arrived from Amazon were the regular old sandpaper variant. My bad - I should have read the description more carefully. My wife tried to use them for a few days, but finally gave up and sent me out to get the good ones again. Don't get these, get the softer ones instead.

I started with the Gerber Nuks and they didn't stay in place during the night and if I went to long between feedings I would leak. I asked other nursing mom friends of mine and they all recommended this product. I have used them since my little one was a month old. They are fabulous! I feel dry and haven't had any leak problems! I love that they are individually wrapped so I can stash them in my purse, diaper bag, wherever and I don't have to worry about them getting dirty! I wish I would have started with this brand!

I can honestly say I've used every nursing pad on the market, from reusable to disposable, and these have been my top pick through three children and nine years of nursing. My top three reasons for a favorable rating:

1-they have never leaked on me. EVER. I have never had to change them midday---they hold a lot of fluid.

2-they don't show under your clothes

3-they stay PUT...others have weak adhesive that tend to let them migrate, but the Lansinoh pads have had a reliable adhesive for me since 2001

These nursing pads have been working out great for me. Priced well on Amazon, too. I knocked off a star only because yes they may slip a bit sometimes, but if you are nursing all the time you will be adjusting them on a regular basis anyway so not really a problem. I wear these all day long, and they have kept my skin in great shape. They have proven to hold a good deal of milk on nights when my little one lets me get a nice block of sleep. As with all nursing pads you want to change them if they get the least bit damp or you could be asking for trouble, so it's nice to have a good supply on hand...but honestly now that I am well established with nursing I generally only need to use two sets per day (new set in morning, and new set after shower). If positioned properly and changed regularly I have never had these leak through clothes or anything. Will use them as long as I am nursing.

i love these .. comfortable, hold about 2 oz of liquid before they themselves leak which is amazing!! (I tested one before I threw it away that was still dry) I use these too when my bra is thin yet tight and it covers up being able to see anything poking through my shirt!! Cant tell its even there through my clothes... I am a small girl with new C-D cup and these conform to those very well!! HIGHLY Recommend... especially the 4 pack pricing... I checked around lots of places to price these and best deal by far... Also doesnt soak through your shirt when wet because of plastic/fabric (id compare to huggies outer material) on back of pads..(except for when you leak so much it comes back, but that was my fault i didnt get up and change the pads when they got full)... doesnt even make rustling noises!!

My husband purchased the Lansinoh nursing pads for me on Amazon as once I found these - there was no turning back. We found the Subscribe and Save (S&S) price on the case of four boxes to be the best price around! I tried several brands of nursing pads (Medela, Ameda, Johnsons and finally, Lansinoh). Hands down, the Lansinoh were my favorite!

One thing I must point out about Amazon and how fantastic they are with baby items is that I tried these other brands and was so frustrated that I couldn't return them if I didn't like them because once the box was opened, even though they were individually wrapped, you could no longer return them. I did not need to return the Lansinoh pads, but it is good to know that option exists if you were not satisfied with a product.

Summary of the four brands I tried with my least favorite to my most favorite

Medela - round shape, very thin, papery-type texture to them and I found them to be way too itchy as a result, didn't absorb as well and I felt the feeling they were wet when I leaked. Didn't even use the whole box as I didn't care for them that much.

Johnsons - round shape and extremely thick. They can be helpful to use in the beginning of nursing when you may have more leakage than once your milk supply is established. But they are a little too thick in my opinion as I felt like it was a little too much padding. Although in the very beginning, it helped with absorption when I was able to go a 4-6 hour stretch when you normally are nursing or pumping every 2 hours.

Ameda - triangular shape, about the same thickness as Lansinoh, absorb well, and honestly probably like these as much as Lansinoh except these were a little more expensive.

Lansinoh - round shape, just the right thickness, soft and absorb really well. The S&S price was what sold me on these as I felt Lansinoh and Ameda were the best pads out there, but the Lansinoh pads ultimately are my favorite with the edge being they had a better price than Ameda.

I have tried every nursing pad, both disposable and reusable. These are the best, though none are perfect (like diapers). These are large enough for my DD's, they hold a lot of milk, which is great because I can really leak sometimes, and they are pretty soft. With my bras, they are not visible through my shirts. I do not wear padded bras, but also do not wear thin jersey bras.

I do not like that they are individually wrapped and you have to take off four little sticker papers with each one, but I totally understand that they do this for sanitary reasons. I would love if they had an optional package that had them at least not individually wrapped. Otherwise, they work well and with the subscribe and save deal, they are cheap.

I couldn't remember which bra pads were the best from my first time around. So i started again with medela pads, then the ultrathin gerber, then finally these. The lansinoh have two adhesives (medela has one and gerber none) so it doesn't shift. it also has the gel core so it does not leak but is thinner and keeps its shape better than the medela. the gerbers leak. the lansinoh pads are the best.
