Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count
Customer Review: Love them!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had gotten a huge box of disposables prior to giving birth because I started leaking colostrum well before my daughter was here... both before AND after having her, the disposables did nothing but irritate me. I bought these right after giving birth and used them the entire time I breastfed! They were awesome! I love the lace... it does help them keep from slipping! I don't understand why so many people say they look lumpy or noticeable under their clothing... I could never tell, but I always wore a nursing bra so maybe that is the difference, but IDK. I m buying a few boxes of these this time around (about to have my second daughter) and am really excited about it. Also to the reviews that said they didn't 'fit' for larger breasts... I wear a size 40 D and they 'fit just fine for me. I don't see why they would need to be bigger than your nipple. I do always keep an extra set in my purse though... I tended to leak when a kid would cry even if it wasn't my daughter! So weird when grocery shopping or something! LOL!Customer Review: Nipples Dry. Shirt Dry. Pads not Dry.
Summary: 5 Stars
With baby #1 I had some washable nursing pads that ALWAYS leaked. So I decided to buy some with higher ratings to try it out this time as I'd prefer washable over disposable and since I'm now a stay at home mom it doesn't matter so much if I leak through. So I bought these. Baby #2 isn't even a week old and I'm impressed enough that I'm back to buy more. There are only three sets in each package which I figured wouldn't last me a whole day. But as long as my nipple is behind the pad (and not slipped out) I haven't had a bit of leaking on my shirts. None. And that's with over full (engorged) breasts and LOTS of leaking. Even at NIGHT time I haven't had a problem. And I've been changing them because it's been a lot of time and not because they can't hold more.
These keep my nipples dry. They keep my shirts dry. And they certainly aren't dry themselves.
I'm back to buy more. And some for a friend too.
Customer Review: Supposed to save money but are worthless!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased these pads thinking I would save money over the disposable. How wrong was I. I was fully aware of the bulkiness (visable through clothing) prior to purchase, so that wasn't the issue with me. I planned to wear them indoors only.
These things don't even stop a minimal leak. They do not contour properly around the breast & slide especially when lying down. They also soak through onto my clothing. Maybe my minimal leaks are as someone else's moderate leaks. In either case, they don't suit me.
The disposable avent, though as bulky at least absorb. I shouldn't have to change pads 6 times a day.
For outside use, the Lansinoh brand disposable pads are MUCH better. They have greater surface area & can withstand actual leaks.
If anyone can recommend a re-usable pad that acts like the disposable Lansinoh brand, please post.
Customer Review: Okay for daytime use
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these pads because I was hoping to save money and because I like the brand Avent. I have no complaints about any of their other products, but these pads could've been made better. First of all, at night they do not stay in place. I've woken up many times and have had to change my bra and clothes because they were soaking wet. Second, when they do stay in place, they don't absorb much. I can use them in the daytime when I don't leak much, but at night when there's long stretches where my daughter doesn't eat, they become filled and leak. And lastly, they do stick to my nipples, so I have to be careful when I remove them. I do like the convience of them, though, and they came with their own little laundry bag so they don't get lost in the washer or dryer, very helpful. If your a heavy leaker, I would recommend getting a different brand.Customer Review: Waste of Money--Buy Dr. Brown's instead!
Summary: 1 Stars
I wish that I could give these pads less than 1 star! I bought them because they seemed like such a good deal. A friend had given me the Dr. Brown's washable nursing pads and I loved them and wanted to get more. The packages looked similar and you got two extra pads for less money than the Dr. Brown's. The catch--these pads were much too small! I wear medium-support style nursing bras with stretchy spandex cups so it matters what the pads look like underneath my bra and clothing. These pads made me look too weird so I could not wear them in public. I took back the unopened packages (don't know what to do with the opened one--burn them?) and spent the extra $ on a quality product. Just wanted to give a fair warning to you who are buying them on the internet. Happy nursing!
