Bamboobies Overnight Nursing Pads, Ultra-Soft Velour, Reusable and Washable for Nightly Use, Leak-Proof Pads for Breastfeeding, 8 Pads

I've tried several different pads and these are hands down the best ones, so soft and still using them 10 months later!

My absolute favorite washable nursing pads! They hold a lot of leakage!!!

These are very soft. I used them when I was nursing and am using them post-surgery. Super comfortable.

I purchased three brands of reusable breast pads (Itzy Ritzie Glitzy Gals, Love My, and Bamboobies in order to compare. The disposable pads irritate my skin and are not cost effective if you are breastfeeding long-term, so I was looking for another option. Here are my thoughts. Please note, I am large busted (40 DD) and have a forceful letdown, so those things are considered in my reviews.Itzy Ritzy Glitzy Gals - These are a bamboo rayon on the side that touches your skin, and appear to be a cotton blend on the "pretty" side. These were the smallest in diameter of the three I tried (they aren't tiny, just small in comparison to the others). They didn't last as long during the day and I experienced some leaks (i.e. saturation through the pad, and my bra / shirt) with this brand. I think this is in part to the fabric on the "pretty side" not being a very moisture-blocking fabric, plus they are a little smaller than my other ones. I also experienced some "sticking" of the fabric to my nipple if I didn't change the pad quickly before the "leaked" milk started to dry. This was a little uncomfortable when removing the pad. If you don't have a lot of leakage or a heavy letdown, these may be ok for you, but I only use them around the house when I am not worried about leaks. I gave them 3 stars - they are fine but not my go-to. They do have the prettiest prints of the three I tried if you care about that. If your bra is not padded, the line around the pad may be slightly visible. Side note - these were much less expensive at my local Motherhood store than on Amazon.Love My - These have the same bamboo rayon "skin side" as Itzy Ritzy but are larger and have a waterproof backing. They may be too large and bulky for small busted ladies but were great for me. They also come with a storage pouch which is nice (I put it in my diaper bag so my clean ones aren't floating loose). I have the same experience with these sticking a bit if my milk leaks and the starts to dry, but have not had any milk leak all the way through the pad (and sometimes they are pretty saturated). If your bra is not padded, the line around this pad may be visible. I really like these and gave them 4 stars - I would have given them 5 stars if the bamboo rayon fabric didn't stick to me. These were the least expensive per pair of the brands I tried. If you can't afford bamboobies these are a great option.Bamboobies - I got a combo pack with regular and overnight pads at my local boutique, plus more overnights on Amazon. These have a super soft bamboo velour (vs the rayon "washcloth" material of the other two) on the skin side and a waterproof backing. I have had zero leaks with these. The heart shape of the regular pads seems weird but it is the least visible as far as lines showing through your bra. I put them in pointed end up. The overnights hold a TON without leaking. They are round vs the heart shape, and thicker, so may show through your bra if it's not padded. These were my favorite brand and did not stick to my nipples when the milk started to dry. 5 stars, but on the pricey side - it they were less expensive I would have bought lots more (although if they were less expensive the quality might not be what it is).Regardless of the brand, I do recommend getting several pairs if you leak a lot - I change mine every few hours so I always have several pairs in the wash.

These are super comfortable

I bought this extra set of the overnight Bamboobies in addition to one of the assortment packs that has three pairs of the hearts and one or two pairs of the overnight ones (can't remember exactly how many). In hindsight I can say that for me two of the assortment packs would have sufficed rather than buying the full set of overnighters, but I didn't know what to expect since this is my first time nursing.The overnighters are nice and soft and feel a little more plush than the heart shaped ones. As a consequence that means that they are bulkier and don't lie as flat underneath your nursing bra and tops, but that's not as much of a concern as you'd expect. I was worried about details like this before baby but have since had too many other things to worry about, not to mention all the impacts on your appearance that motherhood brings differently for each woman. All that to say, no, they don't lie flat, but that's a minor concern in light of their comfort and great absorbency. You will appreciate that softness and bulk since it can help cradle tender and sore nipples!I especially like the larger coverage they provide since the hearts have more of a tendency to slip out of place and leave your nipple rubbing either on the edge of the heart or directly against your nursing bra or both. That's why for me the assortment pack worked out better than just the overnighters so that I could have the best of both worlds and just decide which to wear when.I wish Bamboobies made nursing bras with these already sewn into the cup as that would make using them in public a lot easier. (Maybe they do make them, and I'm just not aware. Love this product and company enough that would happily buy if they did!) Trying to un/snap bra one handed makes it hard to adjust nursing pad on top of everything else. Again, this is my first time nursing so maybe will improve with time. Just thought that was a consideration worth passing on to other new moms.These wash and dry like a dream. I toss them in a delicates sack with my nursing bras. They have held up both in absorbency and softness over several months of washing several times a week! Keep in mind that bamboo fibers will occasionally transfer to your nipple even after multiple washings. It bothers me a little that those fibers end up in baby's mouth, but this has not kept me from using them. Baby doesn't seem to notice, and it hasn't impacted his latch or nursing. Just another thing to keep in mind.Overall, definitely a product that I recommend and will continue to use as I nurse. I found the assortment pack to be the best bet for me as it includes just a few of the overnighters.

These things are amazing. I was getting so sick of wearing the Elvie Catch in my bra for letdown while nursing, but didn’t think anything else would keep me dry. I have no idea how these hold so much liquid and don’t leak. I’m obsessed! Must have for breastfeeding moms.
