 Waste of Money--Buy Dr. Brown's instead! July 4, 2008
Rebecca L. Baird (Cincinnati, OH United States)
I wish that I could give these pads less than 1 star! I bought them because they seemed like such a good deal. A friend had given me the Dr. Brown's washable nursing pads and I loved them and wanted to get more. The packages looked similar and you got two extra pads for less money than the Dr. Brown's. The catch--these pads were much too small! I wear medium-support style nursing bras with stretchy spandex cups so it matters what the pads look like underneath my bra and clothing. These pads made me look too weird so I could not wear them in public. I took back the unopened packages (don't know what to do with the opened one--burn them?) and spent the extra $ on a quality product. Just wanted to give a fair warning to you who are buying them on the internet. Happy nursing!
Supposed to save money but are worthless!!! June 28, 2006

I purchased these pads thinking I would save money over the disposable. How wrong was I. I was fully aware of the bulkiness (visable through clothing) prior to purchase, so that wasn't the issue with me. I planned to wear them indoors only.
These things don't even stop a minimal leak. They do not contour properly around the breast & slide especially when lying down. They also soak through onto my clothing. Maybe my minimal leaks are as someone else's moderate leaks. In either case, they don't suit me.
The disposable avent, though as bulky at least absorb. I shouldn't have to change pads 6 times a day.
For outside use, the Lansinoh brand disposable pads are MUCH better. They have greater surface area & can withstand actual leaks.
If anyone can recommend a re-usable pad that acts like the disposable Lansinoh brand, please post.

Well I have tried 4 brands of washable nursing pads in the first two months of motherhood and they are:
Gerber - one star - pros: cheap, thin, made of a few layers of regular tightly knit cotton against the skin with a waffle like poly/cotton outer layer that faces your bra - cons: the pad diameter is too small to provide adequate leak coverage no matter how you position it around your nipple and material does not hold ANY amount of fluid - don't waste your money!
Bravado - three stars and a half - pros: diameter is larger and more contoured without inner seam, adequately absorbant for medium leakage if positioned correctly over the nipple, despite its thickness doesn't show as much under clothing, made with cool max inner layer and dual layer of terrycloth that faces your bra, cons: does not provide even coverage as the inner coolmax layers are thicker on one half of the pad so as to make it more contoured without using an inside seam, still leaks fluid during letdown if heavy leaker, terry layers may come apart a little with machine washing, when soaking wet the coolmax inner layer makes you feel more cold & damp than a cotton layer does
Advent - four stars - pros: provides even coverage, not too lumpy as does not have an inner seam, adequately absorbant for medium leakage, does not slip, retains its shape well with washings, made of tightly woven layers of flannel cotton against the skin with spongy absorbant material inside and a poly lace outer layer that faces your bra - cons: bulkier than disposables, diameter sufficient for some (up to size B/borderline C) but probably not for larger breasted, might look funny under shirts with some bras as not designed to be highly contoured, still leaks fluid during letdown if heavy leaker
Ameda - four stars and a half - pros: provides even coverage, diameter is larger and more contoured toward the breast so does not slip and provides maximum leak protection for heavy leakers, made of tightly woven layers of flannel cotton throughout designed to be coned shaped with a seam that runs from the center to the outside of the pad, however seam is not visible under clothing - cons: a little lumpy looking under clothing for those that are not C/D breasted - best of the bunch I've tried so far though as far as coverage and leakage are concerned while still being a reuseable
OK several months into nursing... September 23, 2005

I have tried literally every brand of disposable and washable nursing pads out there. If you are a new mom in the first few months of nursing buy disposable (Lansinoh are my favorite). They absorb a lot more than any washable ever will. However, I found that after a few months (I nursed my son for 13 months) I leaked much less and could wear the washable ones without fear of looking down and finding a soaked shirt. The advantage of washable is that they are softer and cheaper over the long run. That said, I liked the Medela ones better than Avent because they were larger and less noticeable under clothes. I do own several pairs of the Advent ones though and they work fine.
