I came across these from Blooming Marvellous....

Has anyone got any experience of them? Only I remember getting rather cheesed off when I had dd and ds cos normal breastpads seemed to slip, fall out, crumple up etc, and I got through them at an astounding rate!

Surely one pair of washable, reusable lilipadz would be better.....?

All I can say is that they are marvellous at stopping nipple show through at work. However as milk drip absorbers /preventers they are only any good when you don't leak apart from on the opposite boob when letting down. They are also a right pig to get back on in any type of discrete manner.
However, for wearing with a strapless dress or when back at work they are totally fab!
I like (or liked - haven't needed them for a long time) the Lanisoh pads as they are thin, very absorbent, and stay put as they are nice and big.

Thanks cmot! I thought they were too good to be true! However, I will try out the lanisoh pads....and I hear their nipple cream is meant to be good too?

OMG - it is the best product you can buy. In fact if you were to buy nothing else for bf, it would have to be Lanisoh ointment. Seems horribly expensive, but you only use a tiny amount. Haven't used a whole tube in 19 months, and I put in on my feet and other manky dry skin where it works wonders

I used em and second the comment on avoiding obvious nipple, er, showage.

Actually found them quite good, and would pop one on top of the other boob (doubling up) whilst feeding on one side. They don't slip anyway.
