Bamboobies Regular Washable Nursing Pads

I just had a baby two weeks ago and as a first-timer I've had my share of issues getting the hang the whole breastfeeding thing. To be clear: OUCH. The nonstop feedings are intense and have been really hard on "the equipment." I've been addicted to refrigerated gel-pads, but unfortunately those can't be worn all day and they don't prevent leaks. For the first week I was using disposable breast pads to keep milk from soaking through my clothes. The most popular ones, which are what I bought, are basically like big lumpy maxi pads that (try and mostly fail to) stick to your bra. I HATED them. Not only did they look horrible and bunch up and stick to themselves every time I pulled my top down for a feeding, but they felt so rough on my already sore nipples that I dreaded putting them in and decided I would rather leak everywhere than inflict any more pain on myself. I saw Bamboobies and thought I could just copy the idea and cut up absorbent fabric to use as pads. Total failure - my homemade pads got soggy fast and looked ridiculous. Just get the Bamboobies - they are SO worth the money. These things are like magic - so soft and super-thin but contain leaks flawlessly. As a bonus, the heart shapes are adorable but don't show through my tightest shirts, even inside a thin stretchy nursing bra. I also love that they are reusable and washable, so breast pads are now one less thing I'm putting in a landfill every day. They dry fast too. I consider them a must-have, and I've even gotten away with wearing the thin ones to bed a few times without any issues. That said "going to bed" usually means about a 2 hour stretch of sleep these days, so I'll definitely be purchasing the thicker ones for the glorious days in the future when I can sleep a little bit longer. If you're planning on breastfeeding, do your boobs and your outfits a favor and have a pair of Bamboobies on hand.

Very excited to use these nursing pads, not only because they have great reviews but also because they are reusable (meaning, I won't have to buy disposables and this will save me lots of cash and it's better for the environment!). Thanks for such an awesome product!Update to my original review:After using these pads for a few days, I can see why everyone raves about them!! They are very easy to use and clean, comfortable and very absorbent. Doesn't hurt that they are cute too! And I do not see their shape under clothes-they are nice and thin and are a cute heart shape, I guess in order to be more discreet under clothing. I am just a week into nursing, so just now starting to leak, so it is yet to be determined how much liquid these can hold. But so far, they never feel wet and seem to keep me comfortable and dry.It seems that, based on other's reviews, and my experience so far, that these pads are the elite of the reusable pads, and that is why I purchased them for myself. I don't want to waste my money on something else that may not work as well as these! Thank you for a great product!

i ordered these for my wife. here is what she has to say about them:i absolutely love these!prior to trying bamboobies, i used disposable pads and 3 other kinds of reusable ones (i don't know the brands because they were all baby shower gifts and i took them out of the original package a while ago). the disposable ones were decent - kept the leak contained well and were barely showing through my shirt. but they were feeling papery, rough and icky on my skin, plus i was going through tons of them, feeling awful for the waste i was creating. of the reusable ones i had, most were fairly soft, but they showed horribly through my shirt and i leaked right through them, as if they weren't even on. completely useless.i ordered the bamboobies as they were recommended by a friend and had the most decent reviews. they solve every problem i had with all the other nursing pads i have tried. they are soft and comfortable right out of the package. they are thin and because of the shape, practically invisible while worn, even though i only wear unpadded bras. i worried they might fit awkwardly since they are quite large and i have small breasts, but they fit wonderfully in whatever direction i place them in. and of course the most important aspect: i have never once leaked through them. it is shocking since they are so thin and the material doesn't seem to be absorbent at first inspection, but they are amazing at containing leaks. they get completely soaked on the inside, and yet there will be not a lick of moisture on the outside.this product makes my life as a new mom way easier!
