I must say I prefer to use a disposable breast pad. Pigeon is my preferred brand.

and change them regularly no matter what you use as they are a haven for bacteria.]]> Tue, 14 Jun 2005 19:57:18 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=11037&title=reusable-breast-pads#11037 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10553&title=reusable-breast-pads#10553 Author: nikkitheknitter

yeah i found that too.
the only thing is that i didn't find disposables any better either.
once you get a steady stream i think the milk is going to leak no matter what!

I got a pack of Tommee Tippee on Saturday... I think Josiah is going through a growth spurt because he's feeding lots at the moment. Anyway, we went to my in-law's church on Sunday morning to show off Josiah to a few people and I flooded! It's happened (to lesser degrees) a couple of times since... it seems that the pads will absorb the flow, until it reaches the nearest edge, then they leak out the side. It doesn't matter if half the pad is still dry! Maybe that's only for me...]]> Mon, 23 May 2005 16:05:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10542&title=reusable-breast-pads#10542 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10534&title=reusable-breast-pads#10534 Author: mum2paris

Yay, had been going to look this topic up again, so, tommee tippee.. may have to go get some of them. have about 7 boxes of the johnsons stocked up in the meantime though.

all the mummies that have had their bubs since the post started.. what re-useables did you end up getting (if any) and how are they working for you?]]> Mon, 23 May 2005 14:33:13 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10534&title=reusable-breast-pads#10534 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10514&title=reusable-breast-pads#10514 Author: bub

Very interesting, I also found that the treasures suck! I think from memory I used Johnsons last time and they were ok, but the cost was unreal when you feed for months on end. I will definitly look at getting some of the reusable one.
Cheers for bumping up the topic for me.

lol lizzle - did that couple of times when we ran out and suddenly found that i didn't have another box in the cupboard like i had thought.. also, if you are really stuck, a couple of circles cut out of a nappy work REALLY great till you can get to the supermarket.

That's interesting - most of you say the treasures disposable pads are next to useless... I found the same thing with Kiya... didn't bother buying them this time at all. I've been using the johnson disposables. My sister in law swears by the treasures ones though - she said the johnson's ones are too thick and obvious under her tops! Personally I'd rather people know I've got a breast pad in my bra than have a wet patch on my top!]]> Fri, 13 May 2005 17:12:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10156&title=reusable-breast-pads#10156 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10119&title=reusable-breast-pads#10119 Author: Xander&Harmony

Yep I used the tommee tippee washable ones. For the first 6 weeks or so I had disposables - soggy yukky things that they are! Make sure you buy the shaped type, you can get the flat ones for cheaper but I dont know how they would sit under your bra???

i used johnson's disposables until they appeared to revamp their pads and make them more expensive. now i use the tommee tippee washable. definitely cheaper!!!

hated treasures. used to soak through so fast and end up with huge wet patches despite breast pads.

i don't like the ones with the sticky strip as boobs often move and pads stay still... hrmmm... found free ones easier to place.]]> Thu, 12 May 2005 16:38:50 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10109&title=reusable-breast-pads#10109 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=719&PID=10086&title=reusable-breast-pads#10086 Author: Maya

I used the disposables for 9 mths, then finally bit the bullet and bought the Tommee Tippee ones, and they are just as good and so much cheaper in the long run. I didn't use them with a newborn tho, so I don't know how absorbent they are in the early days when your supply is all over the place.
