4.0 out of 5 stars One of the better pads, December 25, 2005

By	mysterylady "ml" - See all my reviews

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

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Medela, November 5, 2002

By A Customer

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! :)

5.0 out of 5 stars Used for 3 babies - prefer these over disposables., May 2, 2003

By	3boys (Minnesota) - See all my reviews

Yes, these may show a little more than disposable pads, but most of the time you're not wearing skin-tight tops while you're breastfeeding. These did not slip around me unlike disposables and were much softer to wear. I never planned that the pads should last all day/night, I tended to change pads at every feeding so I never ended up leaking through these. For "sticking", I had the same problem with some disposables; it happens when you leak and don't change the pad (and it dries, thus the sticking). I preferred buying 2 sets of the washables instead of continually buying disposables and adding to the landfill problem.
