Philips Avent Washable Breast Pads 6pk

Bought these for my second baby. Cannot fault them! Absorbent and simply throw in the washing machine once used. Saved tonnes of money on the disposable ones.

These are the best reusable breast pads I found. They didn't leave marks in my bra and they were lovely and soft, and perfectly absorbent for day to day wear.

I had been using disposable breast pads and found them to be scratchy, uncomfortable, move around and nowhere near absorbent enough. One day while in the chemist I noticed these and decided to give them a try as they seemed good value for money (I paid $8.50 for 6 pack). I LOVE them. They are soft and absorbent and they stay in place without any sticky. Plus they come with a handy little bag to wash them in so you don't lose them. I highly recommend giving them a go.

I really liked the idea of being able to use reusable pads to save money and wastage, I found the absorbency to be great with these and they were comfy when sitting in your bra however ouch when you take them out, I found the milk would dry up and cause the pad to stick to your nipple which you then need to peel off which is horrible if you already have sore nipples during the first few weeks!

I bought these so i wouldn't have to always buy desposables ones but was not to happy with them, i found that my nipples would always stick to the material and would hurt to pull them off. If they had maybe a silk cover it may work better.

Avoid if you can, the last thing you need with red-raw newly breastfeeding nipples is a breast pad that sticks to your nipple #ouch. People will say 'let your nipple dry out first' but #1, Ain't nobody got time for that and #2, leakage happens. Pros- washable cons- sticks to nipple and leaves fluff behind never sit well in my bra

I opted for these over disposable ones as it was a more affordable option but was not entirely happy with them. I found when I leaked that my nipple would stick to the breast pad and actually hurt to pull of, I also found it hard to keep it in the right spot as they would move around in my nursing singlet all the time so I would still have leakage accidents. The disposable ones ended up being a better option with the sticky backing to stick to the nursing singlet

I purchased the Philips advent washable breastpads as a more affordable, friendly and gentle option to disposable breastpads. I love the design, they fit well into nursing bras, they didn't irritate the breast, the pads offered protection from milk and the best they are reusable. They really helped during the early months where supply and demand are at its highest. With regular changing during the heavier let downs and feeding times these have worked fantastically.

I really was looking forward to using these so I could stop using the disposable breast pads. I followed the instructions but I never found these absorbent at all, I just leaked all over my bra and clothing. pros - very pretty, affordable and not too large cons - couldn't get them to absorb very well
