Nursing Pads Ekstra Style, Small

Having a series of breast-feeding problems i.e. fast let-down, heavy leak, engorgement, and oversupply of breast milk, I would have given up on breastfeeding my baby if it had not been for these heavenly soft pads. They keep your breasts warm, and never feel wet or cold even when soaked with leaked milk. Before I met these, I used organic cotton pads from Under the Nile. As soft as they are, they are no match to these woolen ones (cotton pads get soaked and feel cold right away ).

Yes, they come with a high price tag, but in a long run, they are quite reasonable because with proper care, you most likely need only 2-4 pairs for your ENTIRE breastfeeding period (12-18 months on average? - I have been breast-feeding for almost two years now, and so far, I bought 4 pairs in total - my 3rd and 4th pairs are still good.)

not comfy, not so absorbant, better to just use a piece of flannel, the milk dries and hardens on the pad

I discovered these with my fourth (and probably last) baby, and I only wish I had tried these sooner. They are the best nursing pads I have ever used, and I've tried a few. These are effectively absorbent and very comfortable with great coverage. With other nursing pads, I always felt like I could see the outline of the circle, but I haven't noticed that with these pads. These stay in place nicely and are just so comfortable. I've used the LanaCare wool wash on these as well as the Kookaburra wool wash (both available here on Amazon). Both washes work equally well, but the Kookaburra wash has more of a scent, and it's a pleasant scent. These pads are well worth the money, and it's true that two pairs are all you should need for the entire time you're nursing. Wonderful product!
