Boobie pads

[blackbird]

I've been using disposable but considering switching to reusable. Looking for input and what others are using.

I have been using lilypadz, which my MW recommend. They are reusable, they are supposed to last around 3 month, but I think it depends on how much you leak, etc. they are silicone and they are supposed to stop you from leaking rather than absorbing milk. They work pretty well, I still leak a little when I'm very full (which they catch mostly) but they prevent a lot of the leaking. The way it works is they put a little pressure on your nipple to stop the leaking and they just kinda stick to you. I find them more comfortable than the disposable pads. They were $20 on Amazon. I bought there wash too, but that is not necessary any soap will clean them.

Reusable. I got bamboobies this time and I like them.

I tried using the bamboobies a couple times but I had wet spots on my shirt through them. I guess I leak a lot? So, I use the disposable ones now. I wish they looked smoother through shirts, but at least I do t leak through them.

Disposables because I got a box for free. . Once they are done I have bamboobies.

I have some really soft bamboo pads for sleeping and then some of the cheap, less comfy NUK ones for daytime (they have cotton on one side, but are water-resistant on the other, so they actually help you not leak through your clothes as badly).

I hate disposable ones because they make my boobs itch like crazy. I do have different brands of reusable and use each depending on the need.
Bamboobies show through shirts the least but are gross after the first leak.
Charlie Banana dry really fast and are comfy but are so big they look a bit awkward without a really supportive bra.

Bamboobies! I love how soft they are. I have to always use the overnight kind for my right boob, but the regular ones are just fine for my left.

Bamboobies here also. I don't leak much, but I use them after I put nipple cream on so it doesn't stain my nursing tank. They wrinkle a little on the wash so they don't lie totally flat and you can see them through your clothes.

I have bamboobies and like them but I leak too much to use them. The best disposables I've used (I've tried medela, dr. Browns and lansinoh) are the lansinoh ones.

[daydreamsam]

I use the disposable lansinoh ones and I like them a lot. I've yet to leak through them and they have stickies to hold them in place if need be, although I don't use the sticky.

I don't leak at all. I'm a little bummed that I don't, I had major leakage with my first. My breastfeeding experience has been the total opposite this time around compared to my first, not at all what I expected.

+1 for the Nuk with one waterproof side.

Hate reusable, have a few different brands but haven't been using them, i dont really leak this time around.

[rachelilly23]

arbe I don't really leak either. I guess it's common not to leak with subsequent kids?

[zombiesquad]

I have reusable ones. I'm a leaker especially when while nursing and have a letdown on the opposite side. Also, I hate to admit it, but I have pads all over the house. I take one out to nurse in one part of the house and then nurse in another part of the house and end up leaving pads everywhere and then I can't find one when I need it. I'm trying to work on that.

I'm curious to this as well. I leaked like crazy with DS but with V it's only during letdown of the opposite side.
Much nicer than having to change pads/shirts all the time

If only. I leaked plenty with all 3.

A friend of mine is nursing her 3rd child and she said the same.
