Gerber Breast Pads - Variety Pack 100 Count

I have tried many other brands of pads and so many of them leaked and barely held any milk. I've also dealt with fuzz sticking to my nipples from one brand. I tried the medium and heavy of these and they worked great. I can wear them all night, or all day at work, and have no leaks. I used the ultra thin ones when I was leaking a little and they worked fine, although I'm sure they wouldn't work if they had to be in for very long. They are visible through clothes, but I haven't found ANY that aren't. I read reviews of so many who don't like them, but for me, they are the best that I've found.

I prefer disposable pads, and have tried other thicker pads (avent, medella, laniosh, etc...)- the thickness was evident under my shirt and put pressure on my nipples, bending them and causinng pain. They would also rub and irritate them.

Although I have large milk supply and feed frequently, I don't tend to leak a lot - but I need a pad to protect my nipples and to catch leaks when feeding on the opposite breast. The gerber pads are nice and thin - I've only tried the medium flow and the thin - both were great! Both have adhesive, stay in place, and have not been visible when worn. If I leak more in the future, I'm hoping the heavy flow pads will work just as well for me...

Additional uses - my daughter spits up a lot, and I use them like shoulder pads under my shirt - they are thin, stay in place with the adhesive, and are great for keeping my shoulders dry! So for all of the people who bought them and leak - at least you can have dry shoulders, if not...Read more

I tried these and they are nice and thin but everytime I would nurse on one side, the other side would have a let down and I would leak through or soak the pad everytime. This means that in the beginning I would go through a box every 5-7 days because I can't stand that wet feeling. That can get really expensive!

I didn't want to use the cloth pads much because they get soaked just as easily and here in Hawaii that means you can get thrush or infections due to the humidity.

I switched to using Lilypadz. They actually stop the leaking by applying slight pressure. IT IS SO NICE TO BE DRY!!! They are $20 a pair but they are not disposable so you just rinse and reuse. They really helped me to stop night leaking. Also, you can wear swimsuits, and lingerie without having to wear a nursing bra. They work really well as long as they are applied properly.
