Lansinoh Washable Nursing Pads, Teardrop contoured Bamboo viscose pad, Reusable breast pads for every day and night use for Breastfeeding Mums, (Pack of 4)

Product Information

The egg-shaped pads are contoured to hug the breast. The inner liner is extra soft over the top of an absorbent core with a waterproof layer on the outside. There’s even a little tag to show you which side faces outward (which is handy if you’re sleep-deprived).

Not only is bamboo extra soft, but it’s also extra absorbent and feels cool and dry against the skin when damp. We love these breast pads because they are so comfortable for chafed nipples. Breast pads may not be at the top of your registry list but they are one of the essentials that every nursing mother should have. The best reusable nursing pads protect nipples from irritation and prevent breast milk from leaking through clothing. Breast pads are essential during the first few weeks of breastfeeding. Breasts leak even if you’re diligent about pumping regularly and nursing often. They make little wet circles that look embarrassing and feel uncomfortable. Worse, they can cause irritation which is no fun when your nipples are already sore. Remember to avoid using fabric softener (either liquid or dryer sheets) so that the pads retain maximum absorbencyChange them every 24 hours, or when they feel wet and heavy, whichever is the soonest. It’s a good idea to keep a fresh pair handy, just in case. Our Small Waterproof Ecobag is a convenient way to carry a spare pair in your handbag, baby bag or sports bag – and bring the damp pair home too.

Although you can stuff your bra with tissues, trust us, that’s not very comfortable or convenient. Then, there are disposable breast pads which are a step up in comfort but may cause you to feel guilty about the environment. It can actually cost less to use the best reusable nursing pads instead. Even though these are reusable nursing pads, some might not be machine-washable or dryable. Review the fine print so that you don’t end up with extra work. Washable breast pads are a much more sustainable solution because they can be reused, but many brands still contain a layer of plastic to provide waterproofing. Only Just’nCase nursing pads are made using Confitex’s patented leakproof textile, which has been independently lab-tested by UL and verified waterproof, without the use of a layer of polyurethane plastic. Washable breast pads are designed to be washed and reused again and again. They can be made of a range of materials, including cotton, bamboo and other textiles. Easy-care: Most reusable brands cannot be tumble dried but Just’nCase nursing pads can safely be thrown in the dryer – perfect for busy mums!What about the best reusable nursing pads for large breasts? Bamboobies might be the answer if you have great milk supply but not a lot of leakage. They were designed by a mom who wanted better breast pads.
