5.0 out of 5 stars Lifesavers! May 4, 2010

By Kerri Dean

My second week into breastfeeding, I was in SO MUCH PAIN! Terrible, cry out loud pain. It was almost torture to feed my son. But it was so important to me, so I went and bought everything imaginable to fix it. These were all I needed. If you are planning to breastfeed, BUY THESE! Have them in your house before you even bring home your baby. You'll be glad you did. A few days with these and I was fine.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not better than nipple creams September 6, 2010

By aty

I bought these after trying lanolin creams and nipple butter to see if I could get better relief for my sore nipples. But something in the pads make the tender spots in the nipples sting upon application, and taking off the pads is also a bit painful too, since the pads stick to the skin like mild tape. For me, wearing Medela soft shells after applying lanolin or nipple butter worked better.
And by the way, the pads can be "cut to size" as per Lansinoh's instructions, but please don't, because then the pads won't stick to your breasts and you've just wasted the box. I tried this.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great relief.. "Soothes" as the name would imply January 13, 2012

By JAX

I had 2 sets of these sent home with me from the hospital and they were AMAZING! I found them so soothing for all of the soreness and cracking that comes with breastfeeding in those first few days/weeks. The paper breast pads just felt horrible on your sensitive nipples those first few weeks! They are cool on contact, which feels great! I did not ever have any problems with sticking upon removal, as some of the other reviewers mentioned. I always used mine at full size and did not cut to shape. I found this worked best. The only problem with that was that when you're engorged and leaking at night, the milk will leak around the soothies & sometimes miss the breast pads leaving you waking up to a big mess! I wore both. I put the Soothies on first and a breast pad behind. It might be less of a surprise mess if you do cut them down a bit, but, they have a tendency to shift positions, so, I wouldn't cut them down too much. Overall, a great product which provided much needed cool relief during the beginning stages of breastfeeding!

After having our son, I was blistered and in pain from breastfeeding. Soothies were amazing and allowed me to heal in three to four days. I would recommend these to anyone!!!!

"safe and reusable relief for up to 3 weeks"--last I checked, 72 hours (what it says on the package) was a heck of a lot shorter than 3 weeks. I guess they mean 3 days. Ameda are good for 6 days, I think.

1.0 out of 5 stars I'm going to keep looking January 14, 2013

By kimmy

I just bought this pads hoping for some relief. I put them on and thought they were great. Immediate relief. Then not even 5 minutes later, I started to feel the soreness again. I thought I would take them off and try them in the fridge and reapply, but it really hurt to take them off! It brought tears to my eyes trying to pull it off of my skin. The adhesive on it is pretty strong. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute necessity May 25, 2012

By poofier

Being new to breastfeeding and having a baby with a small tongue tie as well as latch issues has made for some VERY sore nipples. Thankfully the nurses at the hospital gave me a box of Soothies before I left - putting them on gives me instant relief and makes it possible for me to actually wear a bra or a shirt without being in pain. They are very easy to clean and reuse, plus they can be refrigerated which makes them even more soothing.

The only things I don't like are that you have to clean off the residue before you can breastfeed and that they sometimes cling to the nipples when you're trying to take them off, which can be quite painful. But those are minor issues, and I still highly recommend this product.
