Bamboobies Ultra-Soft Velour Nursing Pads – Reusable, Washable & Leak-Proof – 2 Ultra-Thin and 2 Overnight Pads for Breastfeeding

I was using disposable pads and disposable diapers while nursing my first child, then I switched to cloth diapers with my second. To be more "green" I decided to give the cloth pads a try as well. First I bought a couple of the Avent brand. I considered them nice (that was when nursing my first one). But they leaked a lot. I thought that it has to be acceptable since they are cloth. And now, I decided to try some other brand, and after reading reviews of the bamboobies I decided to purchase them.OH BUOY! I was so wrong considering the Avent pads "nice"!The bamboobies are incredibly softer, more absorbent. and they look nice. No leaks, even during the first days when breasts are really full (breastfeeding moms know what I am talking about!)So I got a couple of the day time pads and a couple of night time pads (I purchased the variety pack and the pack of the daytime pads). both are great quality, the two packs should last for almost a week or so before you have to wash them again. But since I run the washer every other or third day, I never run out of the pads.They wash well (I throw them in the washer with diapers, which I wash on hot with a cold pre-wash and a cold rinse, so they are really clean!). It says not to dry on hot (or warm), I dry them on medium heat or air-dry them.They are so much softer than the disposable ones, they absorb very well (especially the bamboo night time ones!!! I think those absorb even more than disposable!)You really cannot see them through your shirt, even a thin one.Ok, the big question is: can you use Lanolin with the cloth pads? well, I don't, because it is so difficult to get rid of lanolin stains. I use coconut oil as nipple cream (which you can also use as a diaper area cream with cloth diapers), which washes out perfectly and IS safe for your baby (no need to wash it away before nursing) (approved by a doctor!)And they are made by a WAHM, who does a great job!Try to count how many nursing pads you need during the couple of weeks or months that you breastfeed, and you will see those are a good investment compared to the disposable ones.

I have tried many brands of reusable breast pads and Bamboobies are by far the best. Believe me, I have experience, as I nursed my first child for nearly 2 years and now have a newborn. I have bought every reusable pad I have seen at both mass retailers and small children's stores. All of the others are so bulky, show under clothing, get cold when soaked with milk, and easily soak through, getting my clothing wet in an instant. I just thought that was something I had to deal with as a breastfeeding mother, as no brand solved those problems. I never tried single-use pads, as those didn't appeal to me. The closest solution I found were the silicone pads, but I couldn't wear those overnight (engorgement would pop them off) and I would even have leakage issues with daytime use, too. Plus, when nursing in public, you have to be careful where you set them, since you have to mind the sticky surface.All of these problems are solved with Bamboobies! The regular Bamboobies are so thin that they are invisible under clothing, the first I've found that don't leave the tell tale circles that scream BREAST PAD! It was hard enough finding a seamless nursing bra only to have the smooth look spoiled by the old pads. Now I can have a totally smooth look under any shirt!The overnight Bamboobies are super soft and amazing. They absorb the milk, yet you don't FEEL wet or even cold...my clothes are finally able to stay dry overnight even after 9-10 hour stretches between nursings--please don't hate me since my 3 month old is doing this ;) ! I'm glad I'm not soaking through layers of clothing anymore, which gets me more precious sleep because I don't have to add a wardrobe change to the middle of the night feeding.I started with a 2 pack of each type of Bamboobies and loved them so much I wanted more. The variety pack is the best deal--I did the math ;) --so now I'm stocked with a supply to last between laundry days. Yes, I'm this excited about a nursing pad, but any nursing mother that deals with all of the issues I mentioned above would be excited, too, if all of those problems were solved in one amazing product. Add in the environmentally-friendly factor and the fact that they are made in the USA and you have an all around phenomenal product. I recommend them without hesitation and wish I had them 3 years ago with my first child.Yay for Bamboobies!
