Breast Therapy Pads for Breastfeeding - Essential Heated Relief for Clogged Milk Ducts - Breast Ice Packs to Reduce Engorgement Swelling - Reusable

As a first-time mom, I got a lot of guidance from my lactation consultant to use cold for my engorgement (so painful and glad that part is over) and warmth to increase my milk flow and help with clogged ducts. My gel ice packs I already own were too big and awkward to use and I didn't own a hot pack so I decided on these and OMG, I can't say enough about them and how easy they are to use. I use them daily for warmth before nursing, and it's amazing. They attach around my nursing bra strap, super easy, I can even walk around with them attached, hands-free. They are soft, and two sided for warm or cold. I use the blue side down because I think they stay warmer longer that way. They seem super well made too so I will get plenty of use from them (my husband has used them for neck pain as well haha). I highly recommend to any new mom.

At this point I've only tried using these cold, and I found that the clay beads don't get anywhere near as cold as standard liquid ice packs. I like the concept, and the hands free aspect is nice, but don't expect them to be as cold as a standard ice pack.

I purchased these because I loved having the option to apply heat over my flanges while I pumped. I also loved that they could be used both heated or chilled and they are a nice size. I gave 4 stars only because the heat/cold doesn't last as long in my opinion as the gel bead options HOWEVER, I appreciate that the boob spa has natural clay beads and for that I don't mind cutting back a little on the time they stay cold or hot if it means I'm not using heated plastic.

I was given these as a gift and ended up buying another set to give to someone else. They smell awesome although they do lose the smell. One thing I really love about them it they have multiple uses. Yes they work for sore breasts, but also put it on your gassy babies belly for some relief too! Love them.

One pad works well. The other made our microwave spark. I'm assuming there is a piece of metal in it. Thank goodness we we’re paying attention, could be out buying a new microwave. This happened after about 6 seconds in a 15 seconds cycle and the first time we put it in!

During pregnancy my boobs/nipples have been super sensitive and hurt when I’m cold or have to wear a bra and heat is the only thing that alleviates the pain.I haven’t had my baby yet so I can’t comment on use for breast feeding purposes or using as a cold compress.

The snap broke after the first use and they don't retain heat and/or cold long enough to be effective. A frozen bag of peas and a heated wet washcloth work much better.

These works crazy good! Offer almost instant relief for sore breasts and clogged ducts.
