Bamboobies Nursing Pads, Ultra-Soft Velour, Reusable, Washable & Leak-Proof, 6 Regular and 6 Overnight Pads for Breastfeeding

Way better than disposable pads!
I was using disposable pads and disposable diapers while nursing my first child, then I switched to cloth diapers with my second. To be more “green” I decided to give the cloth pads a try as well. First I bought a couple of the Avent brand. I considered them nice (that was when nursing my first one). But they leaked a lot. I thought that it has to be acceptable since they are cloth. And now, I decided to try some other brand, and after reading reviews of the bamboobies I decided to purchase them.OH BUOY! I was so wrong considering the Avent pads “nice”!The bamboobies are incredibly softer, more absorbent. and they look nice. No leaks, even during the first days when breasts are really full (breastfeeding moms know what I am talking about!)So I got a couple of the day time pads and a couple of night time pads (I purchased the variety pack and the pack of the daytime pads). both are great quality, the two packs should last for almost a week or so before you have to wash them again. But since I run the washer every other or third day, I never run out of the pads.They wash well (I throw them in the washer with diapers, which I wash on hot with a cold pre-wash and a cold rinse, so they are really clean!). It says not to dry on hot (or warm), I dry them on medium heat or air-dry them.They are so much softer than the disposable ones, they absorb very well (especially the bamboo night time ones!!! I think those absorb even more than disposable!)You really cannot see them through your shirt, even a thin one.Ok, the big question is: can you use Lanolin with the cloth pads? well, I don’t, because it is so difficult to get rid of lanolin stains. I use coconut oil as nipple cream (which you can also use as a diaper area cream with cloth diapers), which washes out perfectly and IS safe for your baby (no need to wash it away before nursing) (approved by a doctor!)And they are made by a WAHM, who does a great job!Try to count how many nursing pads you need during the couple of weeks or months that you breastfeed, and you will see those are a good investment compared to the disposable ones.

Comfortable and absorbent
I love these! Currently a week postpartum and I am loving them for their comfort and absorbency. I can wear them all day and that work great. They’re light and soft and wash super well – I just stick them in with the rest of my laundry, and they go through the washer and dryer perfectly. You can’t see them at all through my clothes. I’m already recommending them to all my pregnant and new mom friends! Make nursing easier, cheaper, comfier, and more eco-friendly with these guys.

Okay estuve usando protectores de lactancia desechables y eran demasiado incómodos, me picaban, me molestaban se sentía algo muy ajeno a mi cuerpo y a mi piel y tener que traerlo todo el día todos los días. En cuanto me puse los bamboobies me enamoré por la sensación y suavidad con mi piel. Es un gran gran cambio, en verdad los recomiendo!!

Giving this a 4 star instead of 5 because the packaging is more or less destroyed when it reached me so I do not recommend getting these as gifts plus it’s super dusty as well (I’m wondering why).The pads itself are soft and what I imagined it to be – I have sensitive skin so a lot of the disposable options are out of the question, they make my parts itch and are super uncomfortable.
