Breast Pad recommendations please- both cloth & disposables.

[Frangipani]

Hi,

Just finalising the last few things needed before bubs arrive in the next few weeks & not sure what breast pads to get.

I'm thinking disposables would be more convenient for hospital (planning to stay the maximum days)- but not sure which brand to get. Last time (which was only 19months ago) I got 2 types just from Woolworths, can't remember the brands- but I know one had purple of the box the other brand had red. I found then useless as they would move around even trying to use the little sticky thing. They also were rather rough on the old BB's, especially as we struggled to get attachment right. So which disposables do you's recommend?

At about 6months I finally discovered cloth- they were so much more comfortable (and economical)- so I think once home I'll go back to cloth. I can't remember which brand I got last time, but you get 3 in the pack & they were lacey on the outside & came with a little wash bag. Only problem with these is I found them really noticeable under tops & also seemed to shift- especially at night when I need it most. What are your cloth recommendations?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I used Pidgeon disposables, and found them the best of the lot. Comfy and lasted a while.

Born Of Nature and Maz Breast Pads are the only ones I have tried in terms of cloth, but both were excellent.

ETA: Can't for the life of me remember the name of it at the moment, but you can get this ace top to wear overnights and it absorbs all the leaks so you don;t need breastpads - it is ace! Will try and remember the name and fine te website for you

I second Maz's breast pads (even though under tighter T-shirts you can see them I don't care! ) they don't seem noticeable under looser tops. You can get funky colours and patterns too!!!!
(I got enough BPs so I didn't have to worry about sending home for washing - I took the option of my full 5 days in hosp. so didn't worry about disposables)

i use Maz BP's - never really wear any tight tight tops so can't say they've been noticable!

umm, i think the top that LS is referring to is a booby bib (search on here - there are threads about it)

Yep I second, third and fourth for Maz breast pads. They are awesome and super absorbant.

Also, Lilypadz - not cloth or sposie...silicone!

Well I used sposies when I had Annabelle and cloth with Lucy. The cloth ones I had were terrible and leaked REALLY badly! The sposies were great BUT they would rub and itch! I was lucky as I would only leak for a couple of weeks both babies.
Id give Maz's a try I here only great things about her products

I was using the pigeon disposables until I got some Maz-a-licious PUL ones & they are fantasic. I've only got 5 pairs but will be getting more for this time around
