Lansinoh Soothies Cooling Gel Pads, Provides Pain Relief for Sore and Cracked Nipples, Breastfeeding Essentials, 2 Count

A huge must! Great gift for breastfeeding mommas or even yourself these really help with cracking or blistering. Easy to use a good size to fit on anybody. Really helps cool and ease pain after breastfeeding and being chapped or raw. Saved my breastfeeding experience. They are thick with the cooling gel but can’t be seen through bra so are wearable out.

My lactation consultant recommended these to me for multiple occasions when I was suffering through biting and latch issues. They help heal wounds, which I didn't know were there.

I purchased this on a whim one day desperate for something to ease the discomfort in those early days of combo-feeding and pumping. These were a lifesaver at the time. Pack contains 2 sets of large gel pads. Pop the pads in the fridge for extra cooling relief. The gels is soft and cool - no more nipples rubbing on the inside of your bra or sticky cream left on your bra! When I used the pads, I did not have any issues with them leaving sticky residue. The stick somewhat - just enough to help them stay in place. The pads worked well for me for the full 72 hours. They absorb a bit of leaking but probably not a ton.I would definitely recommend giving these a try!

For the new mom-to-be:Your days of meeting your new bundle of joy are drawing near, and you are busy nesting, trying to get everything ready for baby. You should also be getting things ready for yourself, thinking ahead to those early postpartum days especially. These gel pads were a huge help for me in those first days and even stretching out to the first couple of weeks. They will bring relief to your sore nipples, helping you feel much better and allow you to focus on the most important tasks at hand: caring for yourself and your baby.I have used these in the early days of nursing both my children, and they helped bring relief each time I was done nursing. These pads are super easy to use. You simply place them in your bra when you are finished nursing: that's it!If you'd like, you can set them in the fridge for a more cooling effect or place a bag of ice over them while you're nursing like I did in the hospital. There is a tray you should set them on each time you are feeding baby because an important part of using these is keeping them clean.I love that there is really no maintenance other than that (because what new mom has time for much of anything else!), but you can clean them with a little water if need be.The instructions say a pair of these can be used up to 72 hours, but I only liked using mine for about 48 hours before switching them out as they do tend to pick up lint/hair from being in close contact with your clothing and skin. So you definitely want at least a couple pairs stocked in your hospital bag, and then if you need more you can send your significant other to the store for another pair. These would be a wonderful shower gift paired with some Lansinoh Breastfeeding Salve.

Worked well to soothe nips especially when chilled while being an exclusive pumper (I am sure that it would also be comfy for breastfeeding moms) I only gave 4 stars because it can be very easy to get a yeast infection on your nips and if you don't wash these frequently, these will delay getting rid of the yeast as the yeast can stick to these and just keep growing on your nips.

These are a god send when your nips have gotten raw from either breastfeeding or pumping a lot. I put them in the fridge for a few hours, use them when I'm feeling especially raw, and they help so much. They are not washable, but they can be used for up to 3 days (72hrs) without getting stinky, though that time lessens with the more you leak. Considering the price, and the fact that they are literally disposable, they are surprisingly durable and good with protection. Only use them on clean and dry nipples though, I made the mistake of using them after pumping and still having some oil/cream left on me, they fell off very easily. They are "sticky" but not so much so that removing them hurts your nipples.

For the first few weeks, my baby had trouble latching and my nipples would get sore and cracked. These not only were soothing but also created a nice barrier. Sticking them in the fridge also enhanced the cooling effect and made it feel that much better. They weren't super sticky but I never had a problem with them staying in place.The only issue I had is that I lost them a couple of times. I kept taking them off to breastfeed and would lose them in the hectic newborn days. But would definitely recommend.

These are nice, I could see them being awesome if they worked but unfortunately they didn’t work for me. These stick well and protect your nipple from rubbing on your clothes which is great.
