The Breast Pad Itch!! Argh!!

Hi all!!

So I'm 32+4weeks and my colostrum has started (was completely out the blue and blew my mind haha) - I find it quite funny actually.
The need for breast pads is definitely on now but I am struggling to wear them without getting itchy nipples/boobs - which is a vicious circle because if I scratch, I cause them to leak more. I used a Lansinoh sample I had and I've been using boots ones too, but they are all so itchy. I also bought some washable ones from amazon and they are the same.
My nipples are obviously pretty sensitive - I've googled a bit and it seems like a common thing. Has anyone got any brands they found better? Or maybe a balm/cream that helped alongside the breast pads?
I'm having to go topless when I can to relieve the feeling (and catch any leakage) which my DH finds most amusing.

Thank you ladies!!

How about the washable ones they are softer.

I’d wear reusable ones (or make your own)

Morning,

How do you make your own??

As for the reusable ones, like I said, they do the same - irritate and itch
