LilyPadz® Reusable Silicone Nursing Pads Single Pair Regular Size

Cannot recommend this product more to any breastfeeding/pumping mom. I’ve had the same set for just over a year now and I use them daily. Still plenty sticky and work great. NO LEAKS EVER. Some things to note: I use baby shampoo to clean them and pat them dry with a clean bath towel. I only have to clean them once in the morning before I put them on and they last me all day. I work full time now and wear them all day while at work and take them off when I pump at work. I keep one on when I breastfeed my baby to prevent let down on the other side. Remove them at whatever interval your baby is usually feeding. I have them on for about 4 hours at a time and have no leaks ever.

I don't have any children, but I use these to prevent high beams showing through my shirt when I am not wearing a bra. I decided to try lilypadz after I was fed up with regular nipple covers having thick edges that showed through a shirt or just plain didn't do their job. These work great! I have multiple pairs. After going through several pairs, I noticed that when I washed with regular hand soap they lost their stick much faster than if I just didn't wash them at all. I have been using the same pair with success for more than 2 months of wear. Keep in mind I am dry under there - if you're using them as intended obviously you should wash them. But the type of soap matters. The regular size is domed a bit to give you some shape, which I love. This also helps create almost a suction to the skin which will leave them hanging on even when they've lost their stick. However, if you are a bit larger than the dome allows, they will be visible under your shirt. The large size is significantly wider than the regular, and is more flat. During my time of the month my breasts swell and the regular size is not enough to accommodate my full C cup, but the large size is so large that it covers most of my breast and doesn't stick on the edges. I wish they came out with a medium size! Despite these minor issues I will continue using them as nipple covers because they are awesome - they don't let anything show through! They have smooth edges and a little dome shape to keep me looking perky. And they will stay stuck on for a long time. Sorry I couldn't review their performance as a nursing pad, but a great product deserves praise. They have an entire untapped market they could be reaching. Hold onto them even when you're done nursing!

I still haven't even HAD my first baby yet, but this product has already been a lifesaver! I started leaking milk when I was about 20 weeks pregnant (mostly at night), and I hated having to sleep in a bra or anything confining. The LilyPadz allowed me to sleep topless or with a light tee-shirt and not have to worry about making a mess of myself or the bed. I've used them during the day when my leaking was heavier, but for the most part, I've used them at night, then wash them in the morning and let them dry during the day. I can also see how they would be EXCELLENT for non-pregnant women who are going braless but want their nipples to remain hidden ;) My only caveats to consumers are the following: - As mentioned in other reviews, when you first get the product and aren't familiar with what they look like, be aware that each pad is on it's own plastic backing (and I believe there is even a third plastic shell somewhere in the mix, too). The pad is the part with the scalloped edges that look like a flower (even after reading everyone else's reviews, I still tried to stick the plastic part on my chest! It didn't work out well). So just look for the flower shaped part! - I did not purchase the special LilyWash, but rather used common dish soap every morning to clean the LilyPadz. After about a month of daily use, the pads became less tacky, and I started needing to wear a snug top to ensure that they stayed on properly throughout the night. After two months of use, the tackiness effectively wore off, and the seal between the pad and my skin started breaking during the night so that I leaked on my clothes. HOWEVER, the product only claims to last for about two months, so I didn't remove any stars for this (I just thought people might want to know that in real life, that claim held up). I can't yet attest to how these work when actively nursing, but when I get pregnant again someday, I'll be sure to have these on hand!

Very sticky without hurting during removal and they are very comfortable to wear. Not suitable for long term use tho. If you want some that you can use over and over consistently I would opt for something cheaper. I bought these to wear to my sons swim class (3m old at the time and I had to get in with him) and wore these once a week. I was exclusively pumping and I was leeking during class. Very embarrassing 😅 and highly visible (Black swim suit and leaking white milk. Not cute lol) but with these there were no leaks and you couldnt tell i had them on. I wore these for about 3 months and after that there was no stick. And yes I followed the care instructions to a T. Great for short term use!

So I’m 12 days post partum and I have a love-hate relationship with these breast pads. I love that they’re reusable. This reduces waste and cost. I love that they are easy to wear and put on. I love that they don’t move and are practically seamless under my clothing. They are wonderful to reduce nipple stimulation from water in the shower. I hate that they don’t always prevent leaking. I applied correctly per the instructions and made sure there weren’t any air bubbles. They were sealed all around and you could even see where it appeared to flatten my nipple and seal it. However, when my let down came there would be a pool of milk in the center of the pad and would eventually leak as I was feeding. I also hate that it may have been the cause of my milk blisters. I didn’t have any problems with those until after I started using them. Upon research, I found that the cause of milk blisters can be pressure to the nipple causing a blockage. Well since that’s how the pads work it only makes sense that they may have caused my blisters. To be fair, I produce a lot of milk in the beginning, which in addition to the pressure by the pads, could cause my blisters. Therefore, I have taken a break from using them. My blisters are beginning to heal. At this time, I only have one left. I have a feeling that I could use these without problems after the initial establishment of milk. This way my “let down” won’t be as strong and my supply won’t be so high. So I plan to try them again, because I do feel like they have great potential.

These breast pads are amazing because they’re: -reusable, no waste! -very discreet, can’t be seen through your bra or clothing -don’t have to cart around extra breast pads -sanitary! Your nipples don’t sit against wet breast pads or have damp and milky pads in your bra -painless! Your nipples don’t dry against a cloth or cotton pad and then stick to them. While they are designed to stick to your areola, the silicone just slides right off of your nipple. They are lovely because they stick to your breast and are essentially flush to your breast. When applied correctly (applied inside out, nipple directly to the center, press from the center outwards to eliminate as much air as possible, press firmly to adhere) they create a barrier of pressure that prevents leaking. Yes, I have had the issue that someone else mentioned of milk pooling in the small bit of air that gets trapped around my nipple, but for me it’s only on one side because that side has a ferocious letdown. I’ve found that by firmly pressing my arm across my breast during letdown, it prevents the pooling of milk in combination with wearing the lilypadz and prevents leakage. Yes, cleaning and air drying can be one extra step that can seem like a big deal when as a mom your time is already very limited. To get around this I wash them using a gentle body wash, dab the outward side with a clean towel, and set them on the plastic domes. Then I use my clean hand to “squeegee” the remaining water off the exposed sticky side and leave them to finish drying. The squeegee action cuts the drying time significantly; I can put them on in the next 30 secs or less if I wanted to. Another complaint I’ve seen, and that I wish was solved as well, is the issue of not having a case for these. I stumbled upon the perfect case while purchasing a teether that came with a case - the Nuby Step 1 silicone baby teether. It’s a snug fit, but both Lilypadz fit inside with one plastic dome in between. I’ve attached pictures for reference. This is a game changer for me to be able to pack a spare set of pads or to store them. I’m going to buy another one of these teethers ($3.89 at Target) just for the case!! As far as being pricier for one set, they can be used over and over which means they end up being more cost effective than buying boxes of breast pads or having to remember washing cloth ones over and over. To me these are the ultimate breast pads because they’re convenient, sanitary, cost effective and the most efficient at preventing leaks!

I have been using this product for 13 years, even after breastfeeding. I have probably purchased 5 or 6 of these when the sticky eventually wears off. Using the Lily wash and cleaning them immediately after use helps them last longer. They do not show through clothing like other nipple pads tend to do and work fantastic for short term wear for nursing mothers. Obviously they will fall off if worn too long and have filled up with milk.

I’m obsessed with these. I was previously using those disposable lansinoh pads. They often looked lumpy in my shirt and not to mention produced a ton of waste. I was going on a beach trip and needed something that would be waterproof so I stumbled upon these. I now use them everyday. You can go braless, strapless, wear under your swim suit. They are incredible! I bought 2 pair and have been rotating them for the last month, both sets still working however I’m close to needing to reorder. I still have a let down, but I have never leaked except for one time when the pad was not centered properly.
