 Topic: Reuseable breast pads
Posted: 23 September 2009 at 8:09pm |
Hey just wondering if anybody has used reusable breast pads and what type/brands you found the best? I don't want to pay $10 a box when i'd say you go through lots!! Any help appreciated

I got mine from ecomoon.co.nz and love them. I don't know why I used disposables for as long as I did. They are really great.

I found the PUL backing can be a bit scratchy sounding during the day, so I got the fleece backed bamboo ones for day time and the super-hard-core-turbo-boobs waterproof backed ones for the night. The hemp ones are also really good. The woman lives in Nelson and is pretty quick getting back on email if you have any questions. I found her really great to deal with.

I bought mine from Breastmates and was generally pleased with them. However, when I was just starting out sometimes my letdown was so much and strong that the pads didn't have time to absorb it. They get more absorbant the more that you wash them so definitely prewash a few times before you start to use them. I think mine are hemp but very comfortable and way cheaper in the long run

Hey Berg, did I see on the October forum you're going to use Honeychild nappies? Sorry if not, but I'm using their nappies and breast pads too which seem good.

Hi I used and will re-use the fleece backed hemp pads from Brestmates. They are awsome and I leaked heaps!

I didnt find a cloth one that could cope with my letdown until my supply settled. Am watching this for next time.
