Nursing Pads?

Are you using these, and which ones are working for you?  I have not actually noticed myself leaking much, but the only nursing bra that I've liked is so thin that my nipples show through my shirt. The padded nursing bras I tried on were uncomfortable and made my boobs look too large.  I need a nursing pad which will not be noticeable through the shirt.  Any recommendations would be appreciated!

Re: Nursing Pads?

  • I got mine from a facebook store called milky bear creations. I leak quite a bit, so she makes mine more absorbent, but she can make thinner ones also.

  • I don't know that you'll find any that you can't see if you can currently see your nipple through the bra AND shirt. A lot of women on the breastfeeding board recommend bamboobies... I use the overnight ones and still have leaks onto my tank top some mornings. I also use fuzzibunz, which are a little thicker.

    I don't like the padded bras either, and I just got a bravado silk seamless bra and LOVE it... It feels more like a sports bra... But I definitely can't see nipple through it. Just FYI!
  • I use the lansinoh disposable ones. They are thin and trap the leaks very well.

  • I also use the lansinoh disposable ones and they are great. You can barely see them through my sports bra and I've never had a leak through them (and I leak quite a bit).

    This. At night I use cotton ones but I get milk on my shirt still.

    Ditto. I'm a little jealous that you were able to attempt to go without pads, lol.

  • I use the disposables during the night and reusable Phillips Advent (I think - don't quote me on that) during the day I bought on amazon. I need more. Disposables dry my nipples out so bad.

    I'm so glad you said this - mine do this too, but I thought I was crazy! 

    I wear Lansinoh disposables when I go out and then either my bamboobies or a generic brand of wool/cotton ones I got at a consignment sale.

  • I use the BRU organic washable ones. They're really soft and although they aren't super thin, they lay nice and flat, even after washing and drying many times. I know a lot of people say they have leaked through these, but I never have guess I'm not a big leaker? They also don't stick to my nipples like disposables do.

  • I'm using bamboobies. I don't seem to leak much during the day; the only time I've soaked through was when DH gave baby a bottle and I slept for 6 straight hours; so worth it!
