Best reusable breast pads?

11 replies

The time has come where I must venture out of the house with a newborn. Sadly my boobs are not going to make this easy! I literally cannot bear the breast pads I have (Boots ones) so does anyone have any recommendations for comfortable pads? I'm on DC3 and haven't had such an issue with leakage before. Once the Boots ones get remotely wet they feel like a clamp in my bra and are unbearably itchy (as well as being pretty big so my boobs look a little crinkled!!). Any recommendations for others (reusable or disposable) would be very gratefully received!

I’m using little lamb reusable ones and find them good. I also have some Honour Your Flow ones which I like but they are quite big.

I find the little lamb ones still make me have wet patches, especially at night. I find the close pop in ones the best as they have a waterproof layer in the middle.

I find Asda ones pretty good and they’re only £1 for six. They do look a bit like saucers before they soften in the wash though.

I was going to suggest Asda reusable too!

Not reusable and sadly over packaged but Lanisol are the best by a country mile. Properly absorbent and shaped.

Thanks for the suggestions all. Will look into all of those. Have done some Internet research (during looooong night feeds) and the "best" ones keep being really obscure and hard to find so this is really useful.

Little lamb bamboo! Asda reusable hot me through the first 8 months, but in hindsight they are much more visible through clothes than little lamb ones.
Little lamb ones are also currently half price in their sale - I've just ordered another pack. But you may need to get in quick.

I really liked the cheeky wipe reusable ones, but I did keep a box of Lasinoh ones on hand for when the reusables were too bulky.
