Essential for all mums

Perfect for nursing mums! I bought the 8-pack of reusable nursing pads and have been so happy with them. They are fantastic, but I definitely need to buy another pack to keep up with the wash rotation.

Great quality but fabric a little scratchy

I found the design of these far superior to the two other major brands I tried. Maybe I have sensitive skin or something though because I found the bamboo fabric a bit scratchy after a while, which is a problem I l’ve encountered with other reusable breast pads too. They are still useable but I will wash them a few times and see if they soften up a bit more.

Hi Monica,
Breast milk (while amazing!) contains a lot of bacteria so proper use and care is needed for the best results. Make sure to change your breast pads frequently avoiding milk buildup drying and potentially causing irritation.

Damp nursing pads should be thoroughly hand rinsed immediately after use under cold/warm water to remove milk proteins. Warm machine wash on a gentle setting, tumble dry on medium heat.

Bamboo nursing pads

I love the bamboo nursing pads, super soft, comfortable and absorbing. I like that it comes with day and night time pads. They stay in place well and don't move. Love the colours and cute flower shape. I'm definitely buying another set.

Very soft and practical

I didn't know that these existed, until I saw them on this website! I don't know how many disposable ones I have used, but these are so soft against my skin and I love them! Also, they are easy to use, very practical, and come in different colours and thicknesses. Thank you!

So soft!

These pads are super soft and lovely against my skin. They can hold an impressive amount of letdown/leakage. These also wash up really well and easy to maintain.

Really absorbent

Best washable pads I have tried.

Very soft and absorbent I tried the medela ones and they didn’t seem to absorb very much but these on the other hand are great and look a lot nicer then other options

Sooo comfy

The shape of these are sooooo much more comfortable than the standard circular nursing pads. The round ones folded as they conform to the shape of my breasts, but the flower shape of these seem to remove that issue completely! The fabric is also very smooth on the skin. Plus they are generally prettier and more fun that the boring round ones.
I've bought these ones as gifts for some friends who are about to have babies.

Comfortable and easy to wash

I’ve not used them to their full extent yet as I’m not leaking milk yet. I mainly have them to protect my super sensitive nipples from the seams in the cups of my bra. But they’re very comfortable and easy to use. I’ve washed them many times and they’re holding up great.

These breast pads were a great purchase. They sit inside my bra cup very nicely, are comfortable and soft on the skin and don't bunch up. They wash well on a gentle delicate cycle, and are saving me money as I don't have to keep buying the reusable pads!

Common Questions about Nursing pads

Everything you need to know about how they work, how to wash them, and how many you need

This pack of 8 gives you 4 pairs — enough to rotate through washing. In the early weeks when leaking is most frequent, having 4 clean pairs means you'll always have a dry set ready. If you leak heavily, consider two packs for extra rotation.

Cold gentle wash — machine or hand wash. Wash before first use to activate the bamboo absorbency. Air dry rather than tumble dry to extend their life. A mesh laundry bag keeps them together in the machine.

With proper care, reusable bamboo pads last your full nursing journey and beyond. The bamboo fibres stay soft wash after wash — unlike disposables, they don't degrade with repeated use.

These pads are designed for everyday nursing leaks. For very heavy leaking — particularly in the first weeks when supply is establishing — you may want to change them more frequently or pair with a backup, especially at night.

Yes — bamboo viscose is naturally soft, breathable, and gentle against sensitive skin. OEKO-TEX certified, free from harmful chemicals. If you have cracked or sore nipples, go wire-free and change pads frequently to keep the area as dry as possible.
