TL Care Nursing Pads Made with Organic Cotton, Natural Color, 6 Count

I've been incredibly happy with these nursing pads so far (I have a 4-month-old): For the past month I've been pumping at work 4 days a week, and my LO has been sleeping 6 - 7 hour stretches (hallelujah!), so my pads have been put to the test at night. In the beginning I used disposable pads, but stopped as they were uncomfortable, not as absorbent as I needed, and would bunch up when I let my bra flaps down to nurse (I wear unlined nursing bras and am a 34C right now). I first tried bamboosies because of the great reviews, but they were far too thin for me, and the silky material on one side made them not stay in place. Then, the TL Care pads showed up as an add-on item and I thought, "Why not?" I love them. They are super soft, which has been really important because of the stress on my nipples from all the pumping, and they are very discrete underneath my work attire, so I don't worry about looking lumpy. They stay in place great with the type of bras I wear, and I love that they're the same material on both sides - if I leak a little and it starts to feel damp, I can flip it over so my boobs not constantly exposed to moisture. And they are very absorbent. I haven't had any problems during the day. The only time I've soaked all the way through has been during a 7-hour stretch w/out nursing at night, but even then, my bra has stayed dry. These are a great value. I wish I had known about them from the beginning.

I LOVE how soft these are, even before the first wash. Even if you do not have sensitive skin/nipples you will appreciate the soft organic cotton. I am not really a buy-organic kind of person, I just wanted to try out washable nursing pads. Now that I have these I want to use them forever! I have been nursing for almost 6 months, and these are perfect for right now, when my milk leaks a little on each side while baby nurses on the other side, and only minor leaks in between nursing sessions. These would not have been absorbent enough in my first 3-4 months of nursing where I leaked a LOT during nursing, and when I went longer between nursing sessions. But for small leaks, they are comfy and absorbent. I would recommend them to other moms with low-medium leakage. But if you leak a lot...sorry, these are not quite for you. I also LOVE how these keep their shape and lay flat even after washing. I bought another kind (Medela) to try out, and they are bigger and the fabric pilled after washing, and they also folded up and roll at the edges. The TL Care kind are much better, and not much more expensive, so I'll defintiely be getting more of them. These are slightly thick and I wear them with a bra that has a slightly padded cup, and never notice them. If you don't have a padded cup you could probably see these pads through the bra...but what nursing pads don't show through thin bras? (Hence I just always have padded cups)

I've been using these for about three weeks now and have since bought two more packs. I've been nursing now for almost 7 months. I had been using Lansinoh disposable nursing pads exclusively. I don't think these can replace disposable pads, but for me they do work much of the time. Pros: 1. Soft and feel MUCH better on sore nipples than disposables. (Several Lactation Consultants suggested I try cotton) 2. Easy to wash - just throw them into a zippered laundry bag to avoid loosing them. I suggest you hang the bag to dry as opposed to putting in the drier. 3. Use them enough and you should save money and be greener. 4. PRICE IS RIGHT! Cons: 1. These things SHRINK if you put them through the drier. Still perfectly useable, but I was surprised by how much - I'd say they are 75% of their original size. 2. If you leak a lot there is nothing to prevent it from seeping to the outside of your shirt. The only time I tend to leak is when I'm nursing. I just stuff a burp rag in the side I'm not nursing and save the pad for when I'm done. 3. They are thick and show through some bra/shirt combinations. I use these about 50 to 70 percent of the time. If I need to be sure I'm not going to leak or my pad show I reach for the disposables. I put up with the cons because these make my nipples feel so much better. No comparison when it comes to comfort. UPDATE - It's been three months + now and I use these about 95% of the time. Don't even bother to hang dry them anymore as the smaller size still works for me. I've had only a handful of accidents and they've only happened overnight when my little guy has slept longer than normal. We nurse 7x a day and I rarely have to use more than one set a day. Every gal is different though, so if you tend to leak you might not trust these for going out. They aren't perfect but you can't beat the price or the comfort. I love Amazon but I did find them at a local big box store for a bit less...

Really soft and work well. Only thing is they are smaller then I expected

I’ve really enjoyed using these for leakage while breastfeeding. They’re especially helpful at night when I’m feeding my baby and have a strong letdown on the other side. They don’t irritate my skin, even when I wear them for longer periods, and they’re really easy to throw in the wash. They’re also convenient to take on the go—I can easily keep a pair in my purse and use them during the day if needed. One of my favorite things about them is that they lay pretty flat inside a regular bra or sports bra, so you can’t really tell they’re there. I’ve tried other reusable nursing pads that wrinkle or bunch up under clothing and become noticeable, but I haven’t had that issue with these. Overall, they’re comfortable, easy to wash, discreet, and have worked really well for me.

I wish I could say that I loved these. For the price I guess they're ok. Let me just talk as a veteran nursing mom and as a peer support person.. you can find better nursing pads. If you're one that leaks during letdown or any time, these will not work well for you. Here's why. They're made of what feels like 2 layers of cotton fleece type fabric. Which is great, don't get me wrong. Two layers by logic should absorb quite a bit. The problem is that the liquid from milk is not stopped by a waterproof or water resistant layer such as polar fleece, wool, or PUL. So the liquid simply leaks through with little effort. The fabric also saturates easily and soaks quickly. Because there isn't a stay dry later such as suede cloth or microfleece, you will feel the moisture against your skin. This means it's a breeding ground for bacteria and yeast. The stay dry layer isn't a huge deal if you're able to change them frequently or if you're not a big leaker. I have 4 kids and we're out a lot, and I work. So changing isn't always an option when we're on the go. Anyway.. a good budget pad for lesser leakers. They seem comfortable and they're not a bad size. They do tend to bunch up and might be a bit on the bulky side for some. I went back to using my Knickernappies brand pads.

These pads are great, and so much better than the disposable kind. I bought a set of six a week after I started breastfeeding and I'm finally buying a second set a year later so I will have enough to make it through a whole week without doing laundry. Why didn't I think of that earlier? A friend had recommended the disposable breast pads, but after wearing them just a couple of times, my girls were chaffed and cracking. Once I switched to these cotton pads, I never had that problem again. You can throw out the lanolin creams. It is true that they are thick, but you can't see them through a padding nursing bra. You can see them through a sleep bra and thin pajama top, but it's better than seeing the girls standing at attention and it's better than the disposable kind that look all crinkly (like you did a bad stuff job in junior high). I have never had these pads leak during the day. At the beginning when you are overproducing milk, I woke up a couple of times with the pads soaked through when the baby started sleeping longer through the night. I'm convinced that nothing would have contained that amount of leakage. The good news was that the leakage was contained to the pads. I switched them out and went back to bed. As for laundering, I have had my first set for over a year and they look like brand new. I wash them with my baby's clothes and when I take them out of the washer, I pull them flat because they can get a bit stuck together as with any other cotton fabric. I put them in the dryer and they come out flat and round every time. They are very easy to care for. I would recommend these to anyone. Pros: Soft (helps prevent chaffing) Inexpensive (don't have to continually buy disposable pads) Looks better under clothes than disposable pads Cons: I really can't think of any

Of the two brands of cotton nursing pads I own, these are my favorite. They are not as absorbent as the NuAngel pads, but they are sufficient for my everyday needs and much softer and more comfortable. In the beginning, when my baby was a newborn and I was still prone to getting overly full, I would have to change these out a couple times during the day. But against chapped, sore, or even cracked nipples, these don't hurt where as the NuAngel pads sometimes felt like sandpaper if I didn't apply lanolin. I still use disposables with a sticky strip most nights because these don't stay in place when I toss and turn in my sleep. But I use these while I am at work every day and haven't had a problem leaking through. I wash these weekly with my whites or undergarments and only wear them once between washes so I've never had a problem with mold or smells. If you do wash them with your other clothes, be sure not to use fabric softener or you will have some decreased absorbancy just as you would with cloth diapers. After months of weekly washing and drying these still look and feel like they did after the first wash and dry cycle they went through before they were ever worn. I have used lanolin while wearing these many times and it has always washed right out; none of them have any stains or discoloring at all. For the price these can't be beat.

I ordered these because the disposable kind really had me sweating, making those pads more itchy and uncomfortable. I also found the disposable kind made my nipples more sensitive. These cotton ones are really soft, and I wash them with the baby soap in the laundry. They bunch up a bit when they come out of the dryer, but you just pull the edges and they stretch back into shape (I would suggest a little mesh bag for laundry) These are also nice and thick, so they mask my nipples. They absorb minor leaks really well, which is good for me, but I don't know how well they would work for someone who has major leak issues. They also stay in place when I tuck them in my bra and are only visible through certain shirt/bra combos. They are especially great when I know I may go a few extra hours without breastfeeding and need a little reassurance. I definitely recommend!

Very rough, hurt my skin. Didn't absorbent anything. I would rather wear a cardboard piece than this one. It's not even Shaped and sits awkwardly. It's good for nothing. Would advise using a soft mulmul kerchief- does a better job

Muy recomendable opción de protectores para piel lastimada o sensible... 100% tela que no roza al contacto con la piel y es fresca

I love this! So comfy

El producto en sí, está excelente. Se siente gruesa la tela, acolchonaditas, suaves y de buena calidad. Sin embargo, en cuanto a absorción, recomiendo mejor algo desechable. Y si se quieren para evitar lastimar los pezones, mejor comprar unas copas de plata porque el pezon se pega en la tela y es incómodo. Casi no las usé porque me sirvió más usar de esas almohadillas desechables lansinoh para la noche y usar las copitas de plata para cubrir el pezon y evitar roses.
