4.0 out of 5 stars
One of the better pads,
This review is from: Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count (Baby Product)
Well I have tried 4 brands of washable nursing pads in the first two months of motherhood and they are:
Gerber - one star - pros: cheap, thin, made of a few layers of regular tightly knit cotton against the skin with a waffle like poly/cotton outer layer that faces your bra - cons: the pad diameter is too small to provide adequate leak coverage no matter how you position it around your nipple and material does not hold ANY amount of fluid - don't waste your money! Bravado - three stars and a half - pros: diameter is larger and more contoured without inner seam, adequately absorbant for medium leakage if positioned correctly over the nipple, despite its thickness doesn't show as much under clothing, made with cool max inner layer and dual layer of terrycloth that faces your bra, cons: does not provide even coverage as the inner coolmax layers are thicker on one half of the pad so as to make it more contoured without using an inside seam, still leaks fluid during letdown if heavy leaker, terry layers may come apart a little with machine washing, when soaking wet the coolmax inner layer makes you feel more cold & damp than a cotton layer does Advent - four stars - pros: provides even coverage, not too lumpy as does not have an inner seam, adequately absorbant for medium leakage, does not slip, retains its shape well with washings, made of tightly woven layers of flannel cotton against the skin with spongy absorbant material inside and a poly lace outer layer that faces your bra - cons: bulkier than disposables, diameter sufficient for some (up to size B/borderline C) but probably not for larger breasted, might look funny under shirts with some bras as not designed to be highly contoured, still leaks fluid during letdown if heavy leaker Ameda - four stars and a half - pros: provides even coverage, diameter is larger and more contoured toward the breast so does not slip and provides maximum leak protection for heavy leakers, made of tightly woven layers of flannel cotton throughout designed to be coned shaped with a seam that runs from the center to the outside of the pad, however seam is not visible under clothing - cons: a little lumpy looking under clothing for those that are not C/D breasted - best of the bunch I've tried so far though as far as coverage and leakage are concerned while still being a reuseable

Better than Medela,
By A Customer
This review is from: Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count (Baby Product)
I have to agree with some other online reviews regarding sticking. They do stick a bit after some leakage. Let's face it, in the beginning, disposables are the only thing that make sense. I used disposables for the first 2 months and then switched to the washables. I tried Medela pads and they didn't absorb ANYTHING! The Avent pads absorb well and I didn't have leakage problems that other reviewers have had. My pads would get soaked and I wouldn't have wet spots on my shirt. They do move around within my bra, though. I have had times that the pad wasn't properly posiitoned and I had a let down and got wet. Let's face it, it's the "hazard" of the job! :)

OK several months into nursing...,
This review is from: Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count (Baby Product)
I have tried literally every brand of disposable and washable nursing pads out there. If you are a new mom in the first few months of nursing buy disposable (Lansinoh are my favorite). They absorb a lot more than any washable ever will. However, I found that after a few months (I nursed my son for 13 months) I leaked much less and could wear the washable ones without fear of looking down and finding a soaked shirt. The advantage of washable is that they are softer and cheaper over the long run. That said, I liked the Medela ones better than Avent because they were larger and less noticeable under clothes. I do own several pairs of the Advent ones though and they work fine.
