I love these nursing pads! I have a set of Bamboobies, which have been raved about on a lot of forums and blogs, but I honestly like these Charlie Banana pads better. Here's my comparison

Stay-dry material--I love that I can wear one pair through several feedings. I don't have to have a new set to avoid a cold, wet thing against my breasts, and with a 6 week old baby there are a lot of feedings. These pads make reuseable nursing pads viable for me since I only need a few pairs a day, versus, at least 6 pairs with the bamboobies.

Thoroughly absorbent-- No leaks ever, although I've never had leaks with any of the pads I've tried.

These washable nursing pads have worked great for me! They are SO much more comfortable than the Medela disposable pads I tried before, and I like these best compared to other washables I've tried.

I really do love Charlie Banana. We also use their diapers (which are fabulous, BTW) These pads appear to be made from the same great materials as the diapers, with a soft to the touch waterproof outer layer, and an absorbent heavenly soft fleece inner layer that wicks the moisture away from the skin, keeping you feeling dry. It comes with a waterproof carry case for keeping used pads until you can get them home and into the wash. I can't think of a single complaint.
