cost over effectiveness? 6 of 6 Ciao Users found the following review helpful
Rating from jojane2006 3 Stars ()

Advantages reusable and cheaper than disposable

Disadvantages bulky and small in diameter

I produced a lot of milk at the start of breastfeeding and seemed to be constantly leaking and so was going through nearly a box of disposable pads a day. I decided to buy these washable pads as although £5 for 3 pairs calculated that it would save me money, even though I had to buy 2 packs.
I find that these pads are too small and thick, they absorb a small amount of leakage but when your letdown happens they do not take long to get soaked and then leak.
They also show through your top unless you are wearing layers as they are so bulky. They are lace backed to stop them slipping but in my experience they do not stay put for long and so you then leak all over your clothes.
Now that my milk supply has settled down somewhat I find that they are fine most of the day as long as I check they are in place when I start feeding otherwise the breast I am not feeding from will leak everywhere.
