Nursing Pads Original Style, X-Small

Really want these to work for me. I read so many positive reviews, but they sre simply no good for me. I put them on immediately after having our fifth baby. They felt great! Soft, warm, very natural feeling and looking. Then my milk came in. My husband was thinking of building an ark to save us from the flood that was coming from under my shirt! The pads leaked thru. The pads leaked around the edges. Milk was literally dripping down my chest as i lay in bed nursing my sweet baby. When i removed the pads, i expected them to be saturated. No. Just in the spot that was directly over my nipple. So, not only did the pads leak thru, they somehow repelled the milk and shunted it out of my bra, hence the milk was dripping across my chest.

I decided to give the pads another go once my milk supply stabilized and the engorgement had resolved. Well, the pads leaked in the same manner with the very first feed.

I emailed the company and they did not respond...Read more

They didn't absorb anything and actually repelled the milk to the point that the leaking milk rolled off the pad and down to my stomach. Not only did I have a wet spot on my chest, but on my waist too. My first thought when these pads didn't work out was, "I must be doing something wrong." But they are nursing pads. What could I be doing wrong?

I purchased the XS because I am a barely B cup naturally and am a 34B nursing. I leaked around the pad every single time I used it. I called the company and received EXCELLENT customer service. They advised me that I needed to use the EKSTRA version in a small rather than an XS. It made all of the difference in the world! If you are considering ordering this product I would suggest contacting the seller if you have any questions. They can help you pick the right one, because there are many different sizes and options.

Other than that, these are super easy to use, they feel great on sore nipples (almost replaces nipple cream because of the natural lanolin) easy to wash with the Lanolin soap (buy it!!!) and soak up the milk when they are the right size and absorbency.. Love them!!
