Comfortable and absorbent Wednesday, 17 February 2021 | Hwei
It is easy to wear these and not realise that you're leaking... until your nipple itches because it is saturated. Really soft and am glad to have gotten this to save the environment from more waste!

Great alternative to disposables Sunday, 24 January 2021 | Abigail
These are slim, comfortable and absorbent, and dry fast. I did find they went quite bobbly after only a couple of washes, but that could have been our hard water, and it hasn’t really made a difference. They’re much kinder on the nipple than a disposable I think!

Very slim, very absorbent, good size, wash well, soft, no itchy plastic backing like many others have. Thanks TNL for the recommendation.

Not only did these arrive with the Nappy Lady's usual speedy delivery, but they are amazing to boot! They're so soft and comfortable next to my skin, wash without issues and they don't have a back, so there's less fussing when repositioning after a feed or a pump. Excellent product.

I like these breast pads a lot. They are relatively thin, very soft. I like that it’s easy to figure out which side is which at night in the dark as label is easy to feel with your fingers.

Love these breast pads, really absorbent and saving from landfill. They are a bit fluffy the first couple of times but after washing 3 or 4 times (a couple of pre washes recommended anyway) this has gone. I got both sizes and the smaller one is fine for me, and fits better in bras.

Pros: soft, large size, absorbent
Cons: slow drying time, need to be adjusted after breastfeeding.

Disappointed in these. They do the job but you can see them through clothing. 2 great big rings like I've put a coaster in my bra. Can't wear them outside the house unless I've got a cardigan on.

I really wanted to like these but I’ve had a bit of trouble. I’ve had mastitis and the fluff on the pads has stuck to me, so taking them off has been painful. I’ve had to revert to disposables whilst I heal up.

These are good, they wash well and dry quickly for bamboo. You need two packs though and get the 13cm unless you have really tiny boobs...I’m a 32C, obviously a bit bigger now but my boobs leak so much the smaller ones just don’t last. They’re also pretty uncomfortable when wet so you need to change them regularly. I’d recommend them though taking the above into account!

Slim, comfortable and good containment. Only leaked through at the beginning when milk just starting and out of control. Prefer these to my other breast pads

These are super absorbent and soft, once my milk settled down I’ve been able to use one pair for day and one for night. I’m going to buy a second set so I can completely stop using disposable ones!

These reusable breast pads are extremely soft and wash really well. I've even tried them in the tumble dryer which was fine; they're bamboo so they do take quite a while to dry.
I went for the larger size; I sometimes find they don't stay flat and have a crease, but I don't know if that's due to the size or not.
Can't comment on absorbency as I'm only using them for pre-baby leakage at the moment.

Wasn’t too impressed with these. Points for being reusable and eco friendly, and it comes with a handy bag to wash them in which is decent quality. I found the pads needed frequent changing throughout the day. They were also difficult to get flat meaning that when I was done feeding and tried to get boob back in bra with one hand, the pad had a tendency to roll up/fold over making it really difficult to get sorted out. They also left fluff on my nipples. I bought these as I already had three sets of reusables from a supermarket and wanted to expand the collection to reduce washes, but have found myself sticking with the same three pairs from the supermarket.

So disappointed, these were great when I was pregnant and leaking tiny (and I mean teeny tiny) amounts. I prewashed them so many times as they’re bamboo. I have been known to leak quite a large amount with my previous baby so I expected to be the same this time, and for that reason I reached for disposables until my supply was established. I barely leak during the day or night, unless baby does long stretches. These do not hold anything. The second they’re wet I leak. I don’t have an oversupply this time or a strong let down but these just do not work for me. I can wake up soaked before I’m even engorged. I think these will serve their purpose when im feeding less and needing breastpads ‘just in case’ but I do reach for disposables still at 3 month postpartum. Currently I use them as a replacement for cotton rounds and use with Micellar water. Funnily enough I actually need less micellar water on these than cotton rounds..

These are very comfortable. I went for the bigger size mainly through choice as opposed to a requirement. I found them to be comfortable to wear. I can wear these all day with out any leaking. These are my favourite ones out of the reusable breast pads I have tried.

I love these - very absorbent and fairly discreet, though you do have to rearrange them a bit after a feed. Only minor downside is that since they are bamboo, they’re not the quickest to dry but the pay off is the absorption. I got two packs (so 10 pairs) and it works well for a weekly wash alongside the baby clothes.

When I tried them I can't believe I had been with disposable pads for so long! These pads are incredibly soft to the skin and flexible. They have very good absorbency and there's no smell. I can't recommend them enough!

These are by far the best pads I have ever come across! Soft, super absorbant and they don't move around in your bra during the night. Never had a leak or an awkard moment. I wish I had had them for baby number 1!

I didn't expect these pads to be as fluffy as thry were. Fibres come off onto me while wearing and are then transfered to baby. So have to watch this. However thry are very thin and discrete. Do take longer to dry than my otherd but thsts the more absorbent fabric.

I adore these - so much more comfortable than disposable ones and stay put a lot better. No leakage either. Very cost effective too as I was using the expensive Lansinoh ones because all the others just rolled up in my bra. Comes with a handy small mesh bag too.

I ordered the bigger size to allow for movement rather than a bigger bust and I am so much more confident with these that they won't leak. They are very soft, although curl a lot, especially straight after a wash and take a wear to flatten out again.

These breast pads are so comfortable, even when things get quite sore and are really good at their job. I have had one or two leaks overnight, when they've just been overwhelmed, but that was my fault for not changing them out! So much nicer than the plastic disposable ones particularly when trying to rearrange after a feed.

Very soft & comfortable. Can wrinkle after feeding, but fine if you just take them out & put then again flat. I have the smaller size , now my flow has calmed down they are fine but couldn’t wear them in the first couple of months due to leaking. Now they are my favourites due to softness.

These are so soft and much better for your nipples as they can breath easier unlike with disposables which can be sweaty. They do shrink a wee bit in the wash and leave a little bit of fluff on ur nipples but apart from that are great.

Absorbent, comfortable and I love not having to use disposables. A well-fitting bra is needed otherwise they do wriggle around, also when breastfeeding they need to be moved aside (whereas disposables stay stuck to the bra). Worth a few seconds of extra hassle in my opinion.

These breast pads absorb as they shoukd but they bunch up in my bra and don’t sit flush to my skin so i feel i can see them under clothing if the bra isn’t padded. The pads leave fluff on my skin too so feel i havd to remove this before feeding which isn’t useful.

Wish I'd switched earlier - great pads! Friday, 13 July 2018 | Jill
I switched from disposables to bamboo when my baby was about 6 months as my production has stabilised and even Lefty Leaky was behaving. Little did I realise weaning would bring back some unpredictability and I have really put these pads to the test, I have had a couple of leaks but would have had the same or worse with the disposables tbh! So I wish I'd swapped early as I think they would have coped.
The pads are really comfy - I forget they are there most of the time. The little mesh bag helps to keep dirty and clean separate and makes it easy to chuck them in with any wash. On their first wash I did tumble dry them by accident, but not with any ill effect.
I will be buying more so that I can have a full weeks worth and some spares for holidays etc. Will also remember them as a useful baby shower gift. Thanks Little Lamb!

Response:
Unfortunately when you ordered the product was out of stock at the manufacturer and was a preorder line. As much as we were chasing there was nothing we could do to get them quicker to you.
Wish I'd got these ages ago... Thursday, 12 April 2018 | Sarah
I never leave reviews so these must be good. Could've saved myself a bomb on disposables with my first if I'd bought these years ago! Really comfy. Waterproof layer is inside (i.e. between bamboo layers) so is soft both sides and therefore sticks in your bra better. You don't sweat in them. Washes well. One accidentally went in a low tumble-dry and came out fine. Ever so slightly fluffy so occasionally sticks but still better than disposables.

Disappointed - Not for big 'leakers' Thursday, 5 April 2018 | Natasha
Was really excited to get these as I didn't want to shell out for disposables in the long term. Washed them 4-5 times as directed on the original website but was disappointed to find that I have leaked twice today using them for the first time. Luckily I wasn't out and about.. I wish I would have read some more reviews before purchasing as it does seem that these are not suitable for those with a big let down/high leakage.

I had been using washable breast pads bought from Tesco's and Boots and I wasn't happy with either.
I bought these at the same time as a nappy order to reach a minimum spend. I am so pleased I did! When they arrived I didn't think much of them, they didn't have the plastic back I was used to seeing and I didn't think they would work for me, prepared to leak (again 😩
I gave them a go.
They're great! Absorption is fantastic even though they seem small, and they are discrete and comfortable. They wash well and dry really quickly, what more do you want.

I was using the most expensive disposable breastpads for 6 months before I realised there was a reusable option. The disposable wicked away the wetness and so I did wonder if the reusable would be as good. I find these reusables really comfy, and don't feel any dampness. I wear them all day and night and then put them in the wash (in a laundry bag) with the daily wash. The pack of 10 is plenty for me now my milk supply has settled down, but feel even in the early days would be enough. As it's winter they dry on the radiator in a few hours.

I bought the larger size which fit well and are lovely and soft to wear. However the absorbency isn’t as good as some other brands and I’ve found I need to change these more frequently. Several times I haven’t noticed that they were wet and I’ve ended up getting soaked.

Comfortable, absorbent and discreet Thursday, 11 January 2018 | Laura
These are streets ahead of the other washable breast pads I have found. They are very discreet under clothing, plus so soft and comfortable! In addition they seem to be absorbent enough for 24 hours (although bear in mind I only leak during feeds these days). I wish I'd found them in the early days when my tongue-tied baby gave me sore nipples!

First time mum-to-be so not 100% sure what to expect. Soft and comfortable, absorbent. My only slight issue is with them moving within the bra cup, but as I've never used them before, this may be normal for all breast pads.
