AH, the simple pleasure in life that is a disposable nursing pad! Very affordable and ultra thin so you don't have to worry about any added bulk. They are a bit smaller than some other brands' nursing pads. The only thing that's bothering me about them is that they've been folded a little off center. At least my box is, and that just bothers me. But it doesn't impact their performance.

Buy any other nursing pad but these!

This is the first review I’ve ever written for a product but I feel very strongly about these! There is not anything to like about these nursing pads; they’re too small, the don’t stay put but leave adhesive on your bra and boobs (they folded and stuck to them which was quite painful), and the shape is ineffective. Please don’t waste your money on these!

DO NOT BUY

Horrible DO NOT USE. I usually buy the target brand and I thought I would splurge a little and buy a name brand. I thought because of the brand and because it was more money it would be nice, but I was SO wrong. First of all when you open these packs up they are small. They are almost like a football shape. They are not even even split evenly in the middle before folded. Then the worse part is they are so rough. Like what??? Why would these be like sandpaper?? They don’t soften either. Also because they are so small they move around a lot. I guess if you’re smaller in bra size it wouldn’t be a big deal but for me being C SIZE these things don’t stay put especially at night. Ugh. Don’t waste your money. They are horrible.

DO NOT GET THESE!!! TARGET BRAND IS WAY BETTER

I absolutely hate these. I never EVER write a review but these are terrible!!! I thought it was me that didn’t know how to place them yea no it’s just a terrible product. Itchy. Design makes no sense, they don’t stick. Ugh. Waste of money.

Horrible

I should of read the reviews before buying these but I had no choice cause the target I was at had no other but these. I hate them so much. They are so itchy (the lining of the pad like itch parts of your breast, idk how but it happens like all day) and the shape are so weird (kind of weird football shape). They don’t stick well to the bra and move around or bunch up (you’ll see what I mean if you purchase these lol). Anywho will never buy again. Too bad I have to use them all since I bought the 120 pack

Itchy

These nursing pads are itchy! I bought them after using the up and up ones and was extremely disappointed. The sides have a raised area which is supposed to prevent side leakage but I found the crumpled paper like consistency to be very irritating! The edges of the pads are not soft and do not stay flat against the skin. Instead, the edges bunch up into rough and itchy pieces that are super annoying. These are also smaller than the up and up brand and the individual packages do not open at the perforations. Definitely switching back to up and up nursing pads.

Itchy, uncomfortable

These are terrible. They scrunch up and are extremely itchy around the edges. Per postpartum instructions, I was applying good amounts of lanolin, moisturizing my skin, and changing nursing pads often as recommended (don’t hang out in wet nursing pads, change them to avoid infections!) and they still gave me problems with chafing and irritation. Do NOT get these. Pay more for another brand name, or pay less for the Target off brand ones, literally either option would be much better than the Medela pads. So uncomfortable, feels like sandpaper.

Perfection

I purchased these to see how they compared to what I would consider the most popular brand. To say I was impressed is an understatement. I wish I had discovered these sooner! The are very absorbent and do not leave any dampness when worn too long, like overnight. The previous brand I used would bunch up in the places where the most moisture would accumulate so it was easy to tell when to change, and my nipples would become sore. With the Medela pads, there is no accumulation. Rather it seems to distribute it much more evenly. I am a heavy leaker so that is a huge deal. The size is much smaller and more discrete. Definitely my new go-to

The worst design.

Truly hate this nursing pad. There is nothing safe and dry about this pad. As a nursing mom that leaks heavily with every letdown, Ive tried every nursing pad under the sun. This one might be the worst. I really wonder if Medela even tested this with any real nursing moms before putting this on the market. First off, it has a hinged design that is completely unnecessary and makes it easier for leaks to occur. It make the pad look lumpy under your clothes, and when you pop open your nursing bra/tank to feed, it just folds right up and unsticks from your clothes and crumples up. Second, the absorbency on this pad is hysterically bad. Yes, it's ultra thin but I've had to change the pad multiple times a day and honestly period panty liners have better absorbency than ... MoreTruly hate this nursing pad.

not for me

As a breastfeeding mother you always have to be prepared for the sudden leaks especially when you are out and about. I have been using Medela disposable pads since I gave birth and the original ones have always been my go to. I usually use nursing pads on the go and overnight. Occasionally I will use them when I am home. After trying these pads, I would to purchase them myself as they are not my favorite. Pros: They are thin & discreet under clothing. They are very sot and feel nice against the nipple to prevent chafing. They have a pattern that helps you center the pad. Cons: I had a hard time with the pad staying in place whenever I went to nurse or if my bra shifted a little. The pad would fold up under the breast. Due to the fact that it would move I would ... MoreAs a breastfeeding mother you always have to be prepared for the sudden leaks especially when you are out and about.
