Baby Products Reviews of Philips AVENT Washable Nursing Pads, 6 Count
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
I really wanted to like this product. I wanted to avoid using disposable pads and purchased these pads based on the positive reviews of this product. I was totally disappointed. The pads are thick. They are so thick that they are so indiscrete when wearing them under shirts that aren't totally baggy. They're not that absorbant either. I would wake up at night soaked and be fearful all day long that I was leaking through my shirt. After a few weeks, I gave up and switched to disposable pads and I am much happier.Customer Review: Not Even Worth The Sale Price
Summary: 1 Stars
These pads are terrible. I used the Avent disposables which are the absolute best, so I thought their washables would be good as well. Well that was a big mistake. They curve outward instead of following the natural curve of the breast, making them visible under any type of shirt or sweater. I figured I could use them when I was home. Then I got tired of changing clothes from all the leaks I experienced. These pads don't absorb much at all. What I was saving on disposables, I was wasting on detergent and time.Customer Review: Disappointment for a new mom
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this item based on Avent being associated with high quality products. That is not the case with these pads. They are not very absorbant, especially for nighttime use, are too bulky to wear under anything but an extra large sweatshirt, and worst of all they stick to your nipples, increasing dryness, cracking and bleeding. It is a wonderful idea being able to reuse them, but not a workable one. I recently tried Johnson's disposables that are extremely absorbant and the pad and leakage do not stick!Customer Review: Leaky leaky...
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased these after having had my baby in an effort to avoid disposable nursing pads and reduce landfill waste--the only thing I really wasted was my money. I wore these in the day and in the night, and they didn't keep me or my clothing dry at all--and I'm not a heavy producer. They're bulky and uncomfortable under any bra. Another con is that you've got to wash them pretty much immediately to avoid that spoiled breast milk smell staining them for good.
I wouldn't recommend this product.
Customer Review: Liked 'em so much I bought more.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one package of these and one package of the Medela washables so I could see which one I liked better. I've been happy with the Avent, happy enough that I bought another package. The feature that I was most pleased with is that they barely show, especially compared to the Medela, which look very lumpy. I've also used the Avent disposables (free sample) and liked them fine, but as someone who is using cloth diapers and wipes, there was no way I was going to use disposable pads on a regular basis.
