Best Breast Pads - Any reccomendations please
Hi Girls
Just wondered what the best breast pads are..
I got a few samples from Avena and Tommee Tippee, but these seem expensive in the shops, all the supermarkets and boots have their own brands, which ones are best?

I bought the lansinoh ones eventually, which were expensive, but so good!
It all depends on your milk production and how much you leak, you may be ok with the cheaper home brand ones, only way to find out is to try them.
This time I'm going to try lilypadz as I got through so many pads last time and want something abit easier! x

Though I do admit that my mw and health vistor said that I was producing a lot mor milk than 'average' I believe the term was that I could have fed the whole street
I will be having a look around this time to see if they have now produced some with waterproof backing, but before I really did find the lansinoh ones with the sticky back the best for me.
Also, Boots ones have never made me sweaty, but have noticed that the TT ones do - I guess different ones suit different people.
I use Asda's own overnight - they're a bit thick but I don't mind about them not being disctreet under my PJs! - and they were gentle on sore nipples in the early days.
I also found the reusable ones to be useless. They're not discreet, and not absorbent.

I found that you could see other pads through your clothes, they were a pain to wash (you just rinse Lilypadz), and you didn't need to wear a bra with them! I didn't sleep in a bra, just a maternity nightie, and other pads would fall out. Lilypadz stick on, I love them!!!
