For any of you thinking about breastfeeding, nursing pads are usually a must. (You'll hear some people don't need them, but more do.) Personally I hate the disposable ones because it feels like wearing a maxi pad in your bra. I discovered bamboobies during my last pregnancy and I love them. They're made from bamboo, so they're impossibly soft. The daytime ones are also really thin so they don't show through your shirts (and the nighttime ones are really thick).
The best part is they are always running free specials, and they're doing one now. I like to take advantage of these kind of offers to try things out, so I recommend this to y'all. Baboobies.com, then click on nursing pads.
I agree with billyhorrible that Bamboobies are awesome! Honestly I only really needed them at night when I didn't pump/feed as much and only until my body adjusted to my schedule, but for those first few months they were very useful! Bamboobies are easy to just throw into the wash with your regular laundry.
Has anyone received their free pair yet? I just realized I never got any shipping information or anything, just an order confirmation.
I went and looked at my past orders - I never got shipping confirmations for any of them. However, I did get an email last year after the Valentine's Freebies that said the orders would be shipped 4-6 weeks after the promotion, so I would assume the same with this promotion. Meaning no one will be getting them for at least another month.

What I saw while filling out the order confirms the 4-6 week time frame.
belle0720 I needed boob pads pretty early on, if I'm remembering correctly. Definitely after 48hrs postpartum. I think I could get away with these before my milk comes in fully, but after that, unless these are magically thin and super absorbent, I'll need others that are more substantial.
Since I didn't use these with DD, I have no idea how they'll fare in the engorged/leaking like mad stage.

noeliav - they are super absorbent. Like waaaaay better than the lasinoh disposable pads I was using previously. But they have different thicker ones for overnights.
wormgerm - they do them a couple times a year. I'll let you know the next time the offer roles around.
I loved the Lansinoh disposables with DD, but I think if I had realized how long I was going to need them, I would have invested in better reusables earlier. I put some bamboobies overnights on a registry list (completion discount, yo), so fingers crossed for dry boobs!
billyhorrible - I went to the website but could not figure out how to get the free sample. Am I too late to do this? Maybe the promotion is over? If not how do I get to try them for free?
I got them the other day, pulled them out and showed them to DH. (By putting them on my boobs, of course.) He looked a little shocked, lol. I said "it's a whole new world honey!“
