Where do you put your breast pads when you feed in public?

Maybe a stupid question, but I never know what do do with them. I don't really want other people to see them!

Going to a posh do tonight and I won't be able to shove them in my back pocket (or other similar tricks tried previously!)

Please help. Where do I put them?!

I just put them in my bra, in the other side from the one I'm feeding on, then swap them over.

Mine live in my bra. Where else would they be? Why would you take them out? I just fold them as I fold the bra down.

They just stay in my bra. Why'd you take them out?

I used to fold them down in my bra, then DS discovered them and would whip them out mid feed and wave them about like a bloody flag. Still ever occurred to me to take them out though!

Also in my bra.

I left one a cloth one on the floor of a cafe once- didn't go back for it. Too embarassed... I take them out too- never occured to me to leave them in! :)

I sort of trap them under the strap on the other side.

At the moment they rarely last between feeds (DS is vair young) so it's more like "dear God that's sopping, I can't wear that again" though!

When I fold them in my bra they go all crumpled. Then I have to fiddle around in my bra for ages afterwards. I think I'm too much of a novice!!

I also have some of the silicone LilyPadz ones which are great, but you couldn't fold those down.

Suitably embarrassed now! Smile

I used to just tuck it into the other bra cup.

islingtongirl · 23/11/2013 19:18

I sometimes stick the disposable ones on my handbag when DD is desperate for a feed and I need to move fast haha! I also fold then down sometimes but you are right OP they get all crushed and then when I look at my boobs later they are all engrained with crease marks, ahh the glamour!

I tuck it under the opposite side bra strap. I have the same problem, if I leave it in it gets crumpled or lost! So it gets tucked under the shoulder elastic. Then I know where it is.
