Advantages: are washable, cost effective Disadvantages: not a good fit, don't mould to the shape of your bra
...am now able to review Avent Washable Breast Pads. For anyone who has breastfed, there is nothing worse than getting caught short (especially when out and about) and finding that you have wet patches on your tops! So I purchased Avent Washable Breast Pads at Boots for £4.99 after reading good reviews about them, but unfortunately I found them disappointing. There are 6 washable breast pads and a laundry bag in the box. I decided to buy two boxes as ... ...was too hasty in buying another box. The breast pads are quite big in size, so that they are suitable for various breast sizes. These breast pads are soft to the touch and the absorbent padding draws moisture away from the skin and traps it behind a leak proof liner.
The pads have a soft-brushed cotton lining which is soft and gentle against the skin and didn't cause any rashes or spots. They also look quite pretty as they have an embroided flower ...

Advantages: Saves money over disposables Disadvantages: Bulky
...bought a pack of 6 Avent pads at Boots for £4.99. They are made of a soft material with a waterproof backing & have a lacy side which aswell as looking a bit more feminine serves the purpose of 'gripping' the inside of your bra to make them more secure. They come with a small net in which to wash them so that they don't get lost among your laundry (vital if you don't want one whizzing out your sleeve in public when you take your freshly washed cardigan ... ...there's no telling how much money I've saved. Since they are not tapered at the edges, nor do they have indentations for your nipples, they are bulkier than disposables, so invest in a padded nursing bra, otherwise they'll be seen from space! They do soften & subsequently mould easier after washing the first time. I always wash mine in non bio detergent when washing baby's clothes, just to be sure that they don't cause any irritation to my skin. ...

Advent Washable Breast Pads
I am very proud to have been able to breastfeed my gorgeous baby girl and have used lots of things to help me keep up the good work, these being one of them. When you are breastfeeding, you often find that your breasts become very full just prior to feeding time, and a certain amount of leakage can occur. I find that mornings and late evenings are particularly bad for this and so I use breast pads to stop the milk showing ... ...I used disposable ones, but was pretty shocked at how quickly I went through them, and how fast I could fill and plastic bag full for the bin. The idea of filling our landfill sites with soggy breast pads did not fill me with glee, but rather horror, and so I looked out an alternative, and this is it!
The box of pads contains 6 round, soft pads which are designed for placing between your bra and your nipple in the usual way. They are made of brushed ...

Advantages: Less waste - don't fill your bin. Easy to wash in machine or by hand Disadvantages: Stick to sore skin, leak through
Unfortunately these pads stick to sore or cracked nipples and that means peeling them away, which inevitable takes some skin with it, and results in pain. I found the disposable ones better as they allow the nipple to stay moist, which is better if you are cracked. I hate to feel as though I am contributing to landfill with the disposable ones, but when you think that 2 pads are probably less material than a sanitary towel (which must be disposed ...
