Re: recommend your pads
Once you're past the first 6 weeks, I highly recommend the Lilypadz. Instead of absorbing, they actually suppress leaking.
I got the Nuk brand from Target. I like them a lot, but I use them more for nipple tenderness than leaking.
I looked into Lilypadz, but really didn't want to spend $20 for one set that would only last a few months. I spent $10 for 6 sets of pads that will last me until I'm done BFing all of my kids.
Go to etsy and find some made from OBV (organic bamboo velour). They are super soft and very absorbent. I love them.
Artsy Fartsy Foo Foo (https://hyenacart.com/onestore.php?vid=3046&category=18) has some fabulous ones as does as does this seller on etsy. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/MomsCrafts4U?section_id=7917829) She is in Canada but it got here pretty quickly. Maybe only a day or 2 more than a domestic shipment.
Sorry... the clicky link thing isn't working. Highly annoying!
I have tried several different types.
Johnson & Johnson - A++ - They hold in leaks really well, they are really soft. They are contoured but are not visible. They also have like a little spot for your nipple. LOVE these.
Laninsoh - B+ - They hold in leaks, but they pretty visible under your shirts. Because they are contoured they get all fold and wrinkles and you can really see them.
Nuk - D - I hated these. They are super thin.
