How long do they last?

How often do you wash them to maintain stickiness?

Any tips for putting them on discreetly when out?

Thanks

i thought lilypadz would be amazing but I found they always seemed to be covered in lint and stuff and I was always rinsing them to make them sticky. I also found there was no discreet way to put them on in public - it involved careful positioning and then a big press on my nipple! good luck with yours, I hope you get on well with them.

I have had mine for a week and despite regular washing they seem to be losing their stickiness already. I do like them as it means I don't have to wear a bra overnight but they still leak a bit especially when engorged

I had them & thought they were fab.

I thought the heat of your boobs made the stick on ? Certainly when I put mine on & then the bra they moulded on.

I had to wear a sleep bra at night though to hold them in place.

Try putting them on your nipple first & then flattening the outside down.

Yes they did do that well for a week and it great but the stickiness has seemed to decrease a lot and I thought they should last for a few months.

perhaps I didn't wash mine enough !

i read the care instructions on the website and they are quite different from the ones on their website. so i may have ruined them by bloy drying them. i emailed them to complain. no response

Didn't anyone else find them slightly uncomfortable? Maybe I should try mine again. I had cracked nipples at the time

alex8 · 26/04/2007 13:46

Mine were ok when they stayed on! Had sore but not cracked nipples
