Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count
Customer Review: Meh...at least they weren't too expensive
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these a couple weeks ago since my beloved Dr. Brown's washable pads are no longer offered. These seemed like they might be similar in size, comfort, and affordability. No so much. These pads are only about 4 inches in diameter, so the edges are pretty obvious unless I wear a padded-style bra (I'm about a 34C). They stick, which can make them a bit uncomfortable when removing them to feed the baby or pump. After the first wash, the flannel on the inside pilled-up, and the pads puffed-up, making them even more obvious in my bra. Since I don't leak much, I can't give much info on how absorbent they are. Suffice it to say that I'm glad that I didn't pay a lot...I suppose you get what you pay for (though I don't recall paying much more than about $8 for Dr. Browns).Customer Review: OK several months into nursing...
Summary: 3 Stars
I have tried literally every brand of disposable and washable nursing pads out there. If you are a new mom in the first few months of nursing buy disposable (Lansinoh are my favorite). They absorb a lot more than any washable ever will. However, I found that after a few months (I nursed my son for 13 months) I leaked much less and could wear the washable ones without fear of looking down and finding a soaked shirt. The advantage of washable is that they are softer and cheaper over the long run. That said, I liked the Medela ones better than Avent because they were larger and less noticeable under clothes. I do own several pairs of the Advent ones though and they work fine.Customer Review: Better than Medela
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to agree with some other online reviews regarding sticking. They do stick a bit after some leakage. Let's face it, in the beginning, disposables are the only thing that make sense. I used disposables for the first 2 months and then switched to the washables. I tried Medela pads and they didn't absorb ANYTHING! The Avent pads absorb well and I didn't have leakage problems that other reviewers have had. My pads would get soaked and I wouldn't have wet spots on my shirt. They do move around within my bra, though. I have had times that the pad wasn't properly posiitoned and I had a let down and got wet. Let's face it, it's the "hazard" of the job! :)Customer Review: Great.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really like Avent pads. After the wash they keep their shape (love the free mesh bag too!), there is no lint attached to the nipple like in some different brands and they stay in place due to the lace cover on the bra side. Also they absorb leakage well and the milk doesn't go through, unless pretty heavy one. I wear them with my bras and nursing tops and no one can tell I wear the pads.
Only at night I have to adjust them due to laying on the side, but not a biggie. I wear them more often than disposable ones (I use Lansinoh and like them too, but they tend to roll when I fold my bra to breastfeed and adjusting is annoying because of the glue side).
Customer Review: One of the Best Washable Pads
Summary: 4 Stars
For several months, nothing could replace disposable pads for leak protection. But now I just need to manage a few drips here and there. These are some of the best washable ones. They have lace on one side and a cottony material on the other side. They are a little bit fluffy, like a tiny pillow. I find they are not very visible when I'm wearing a regular bra, but if I'm wearing a looser nighttime bra, they show pretty clearly. No washable pads I've found can match the disposables for invisibility under clothes. The washing bag they come with is nice because I never wash these things by hand yet when loose they tend to get lost in the washing machine.
