Nighttime leakage

Hi, my LG has made my breasts produce so much Milk that during the night (and day)I leak so much. I feel like it’s a waste just catching it in disposable breast pads. Does anyone know of any collection shields that i can actually use overnight? Or any way I can block the spouts while I sleep so the milk doesn’t leak while laying down? My LG feeds between 4-6 hours overnight but I still leak loads!
Thanks in advance

Wow I never thought of something to catch and gather the leak to use again! That would of been great!

I did buy reusable breast pads though. In the beginning I was leaking so much I felt bad using the disposable ones

After a could of months my silly regulated mostly and I don't leak as much.

Thanks ICJump. Just had a look at them and reviews aren’t good for heavy flow which I have at night 😞

You could try breast shells which hold about an oz each. Not sure how comfortable they'd be to sleep in.

No ideas for overnight but seen this recommended on another thread to catch ‘let down’ when you’re feeding from the other side NatureBond Silicone Breastfeeding Manual Breast Pump Milk Saver Suction | BONUS Pump Stopper, Cover Lid, Pouch, Air-Tight Vacuum Sealed in Hardcover Gift Box.

Ps the concern about milk leaking laying down... is that just because the leaks are annoying? If it’s because you’re worried about waste then breastmilk is produced continuously, it’s not like a big reservoir that gets depleted then refilled if that makes sense.
