Editorial Review

There's one thing breastfeeding mothers learn pretty quickly: breasts leak, sometimes at the most inopportune moments. Spontaneous milk flow can be triggered by subtle cues, such as hearing a baby's cry, or simply by excessive fullness, particularly in the early months of breastfeeding, when supply sometimes exceeds demand. Avoid embarrassing stains and protect clothing with these absorbent, 100 percent cotton bra pads. There are four pads included in this pack (double them up for extra protection). Tuck them inside the bra; their smooth, round shape and ivory color help them blend in for a natural look, and the brushed cotton material is very soft and comfortable. Finished edges prevent raveling. These bra pads fit all breast sizes, and they can be machine washed and tumble-dried. --Elisabeth Fredrickson

4.0 out of 5 stars MUCH better than disposables!, August 29, 2001

Nature Mom w/ 2 children + EE & Management de... (Massachusetts USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Medela 100% Cotton Washable Nursing Bra Pads (Baby Product)

These offer at least as much protection as the disposables and are more comfortable and less "crunchy" (ie they don't make noise like I found the thick disposables did!). They wash and dry well too. My favorite pads, which I would rate 5 star-plus, are called "MilkDiapers" nursing pads. Most of the pad is thin, soft cotton/flannel...and then it has an 8-layer thicker section to absorb where you need it most. Even though they're soft to begin with, they get softer and softer after each washing. I used them for over 2 years and they were still in good enough shape to pass along to friends! They also saved me from having to double up on other thin washable pads which made me look even more odd-shaped than I was already feeling. Here's a tip... after leaking in one of the pads, I often gave that pad to my baby to sleep with, or sent her to daycare with it. My "smell" would comfort her when I couldn't. Best wishes for a happy, enjoyable breastfeeding experience for you and your child!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nursing Mother, July 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Medela 100% Cotton Washable Nursing Bra Pads (Baby Product)

I had used this product due to the dissatisfaction with the disposables, which I had to use more than one. I managed to escape throught the day without any accidents due to leaking or my enthusiastic baby. I recommend this item to all nursing mothers. I will definately save you from embarrasing situations.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love these bra pads!, November 3, 2001

This review is from: Medela 100% Cotton Washable Nursing Bra Pads (Baby Product)

These bra pads are by far the most comfortable and absorbant that I have found. I have tried at least 4 different brands and styles. These are my favorite. They hold up well after months of washings. The only drawback is that they are thick (thus the softness and super absorbency) and have a seam that will not always lie flat along the edge. If you are wearing a tight or extremely thin shirt, you may be able to see the outline of the pad through your clothing. Although I found this to be the case with many bra pads, these seemed to be the worst. But, their excellent performance and comfort still make them my hands down favorite. All the other bra pads I have just sit in my drawer.
