wth re: lily padz

bellevuebride07 · March 2011

So I bought a pair of lily padz to help control the crazy T.H.O. and cut down on the amount of disposable pads I'm using at the moment. Anyway they so don't work for me.... I can't get them to stick. I'm pretty sure I'm putting them on right they just don't suction. Boo, for wasting 20 bucks.

Really? I've never had a problem. This is going to sound stupid, but are you sure you're trying to use them right-side-out?

The sticky part goes towards your skin, right?

jerseygirl81 · March 2011

I could never tell which side was sticky, so I always went by the edges. I'm finding it hard to describe what to look for, but there's a tiny edge on the scallop and the edge goes on the outside. Did you wash them before you tried them? Are you starting with the nipple and then pressing out?

I did not wash them first. How do you wash them? I did start with the nipple and then just tried to flip it while my boob was sort of pushed in. Maybe there is a youtube tutorial, LOL.

I washed them with blue dawn dish detergent. Here's how I did it - flip it right-side-in, then stick your finger in the middle of it. Press the pad onto your nipple like you're ringing a doorbell, squishing it a little bit, then un-flip it out while smoothing it around the rest of your boob.

WTF? This is REALLY hard to describe, hence the doorbell example.

Thanks for your help. I will try again this afternoon. I really hope it works b/c they seem to be great.

I have no idea what lily padz are but this description is cracking me up...

I hope it works, too, because they were a total life-saver for me.

This description is about the best I can do too. It should work REALLY well. If they don't work for you, I'd try to return them and get another pair. My knockers were pretty large when BFing and I wore them when Tyler was a newborn and I was leaking everywhere. Lifesavers.
