Lily Padz Starter Kit

 (13 customer reviews)

I leak a lot. A friend recommended I try these so I went and bought 3 pairs (the starter kit and 2 additional pairs). At first They seemed to work ok, but the milk would pool up so if I went to nurse and forgot to let the milk out, I'd end up with a mess down my shirt.

These are terrible for nursing in public if you dont use a nursing cover. At home they are ok cuz you have privacy. Its easier to fold down regular disposable or cloth breast pads in public than to have to carefully remove the lilypadz.

After about a month of use with daily cleaning with the lilywash and hot water, they started leaking. So I switched to a new pair - same problem. So everytime I went to burp my baby (on the shoulder of the side I hadnt nurssed on) I would end up soaking myself and my baby. Milky Mess!

I will hold on to these and hope they work better when Im not quite so milky (my son is 3 months old right now).

I'm a very heavy milk producer, and these guys just can't hold up. I got a set when my first was maybe a year old; they helped, but not 100%, and nobody wants to be at work when they fail -- so, I gave them up. With my second, when I started leaking around 20 weeks, I got a new set to get me through nights so I wouldn't have to wear a bra and be even more uncomfortable at night! They got me through a month or so, but that was all -- just the leaks I had overnight couldn't be stopped by these. I'd wake up with the lily pad still on, but the colostrum all over the sheets :-(. They just don't seem to stay sticky enough. I found the alcohol wipes did a better job of keeping them sticky than the foam wash did, but still not enough. Since they couldn't even contain me while pregnant, I've tossed them - they don't stand a chance against a real let down, which for me soaks a cloth diaper in minutes. (I can fill a 5 oz bottle simply by catching two letdowns. And I'm not bragging, it's a...Read more

I bought these to use with my second child. I had intended to use disposables like i did last time till I came across these. I am a heavy milk producer so i read other reviews and understand the frustrations with leaking milk pads. Other reviews stated that these leaked really bad. They don't you just need to stay on top of your feeding times, and not allow your breasts to get engorged. If baby isn't ready to feed just pump (express) some milk out. Another thing to remember is to keep them clean. Dirty silicone doesn't stick! Other than that these work very well, and cut down on the stuff you have to pack inur bag when going out. Luv em!
