Best reusable breast pads?

[Gerdticker]

For my last DC I used disposable breast pads, but for this one I’d like to try reusable?

Can anyone recommend a good brand?

Someone recommended these to me but I haven’t used them so can’t personally vouch for them:

I made some heart shaped ones out of some old and very soft flannelette pyjamas bottoms. I did four layers per pad. Just stitched round them on the sewing machine leaving the edges raw.
My first set were mothercare which were very very good but can’t get anymore.

I like the sound of the ones made out of flannel pjs... I just came on to say check what they are made of because I had some that were quite scratchy (maybe from Boots?)

I have a whole pile I was just a about to turf! I can post them to you if you pm me:)

Asda’s own ones were perfect when I used them last year and they were only a £1 for 6, IIRC. Just had a google and looks like they’ve possibly replaced them but definitely worth a check in a the baby aisle.

I used the boots ones for well over a year and they were good.

I tried reusable but found they never dried so you just had wet breast milk soaked flannels on your tits and it made my nipples sore!

I used bamboo ones from Little Lambs (I think). They were so soft and absorbed the milk so never felt stiff or soggy.

I had some Medela ones which were great.

Found them!

The best pads for you depend on your letdown and leakage. I have some cotton ones which had a good review but I leak through them quickly as I leak from the non feeding side almost as much as the feeding side. I have taken to collecting the letdown in a silicon cup or using a csp during a feed - I collected 120ml yesterday just from the letdown. I am hoping it eases once my milk settles down if not I will be looking at some of the bamboo with pul backing pads (matching the set up of my csp).

Asda own brand, they are very comfortable and wash well
