i'd just get straight up lansinoh ointment - its pure lanolin. but i never used anything else... well, not true, i did try this british product called Kamillosan or something like that. Didn't like it.

It's the only kind I tried. The Medela kind is not pure lanolin, and I don't know if there are any other brands of medical grade lanolin that are readily available.

CVS carries one under their name.

Medela does have some that is pure lanolin, it's what I used. But I was "prescribed" it so maybe it's not the same as you buy in the stores (although I think it is).

Anyway, I also would go with the pure lanolin and not the cream regardless of what brand.

I think the cream is the lanolin. It's the purple tube.

I agree with pps--would've died w/o my lanolin. Plus you can use it on your woolies!

I would think because of that statement it is pure lanolin but you'd have to look at the ingredient list to be sure.

yeah, you just want the medical grade stuff for BFing (since baby will essentially eat some of it) but leftovers work for wool too

I *HATED* the Lansinoh stuff. It's so thick and gloopy. I found it difficult and somewhat painful to spread that stuff on sore nipples. I bought something called nipple butter. I think there was a 'Bee' in the name. SOOOO much better! Too bad, because I have a tube of Lansinoh I used only a few times.

Yep. I barely used like 1/32 of a tube so the rest went to lanolizing wool!

if all you want is 100% lanolin, then just get the store brand stuff for like 1/10 the price of the Lansinoh. However, I agree it was hard to apply that stuff (esp in my cold house), so I found I liked the Medela Tender Care stuff much better. I only used maybe 1/6th the tube, and that was using it ALL THE TIME the first 2 months, (and also on my dry cracked cuticles.)

lkstor · October 2009

I went through several tubes of this stuff! Still have one in my pump bag and one in the bathroom - though now just use intermittently.
