    Booby Bibs - Has anyone used them?

    Howdy all,

    I am thinking of buying myself some of these tops especially for when I am in hospital (saves breast pads). Has anyone in here used them?

    Yes, and they are fantastic. Do a thread search, there are a few posts from me about them.

    I bought a couple and absolutely hated them. For me, a real waste of money.

    Yes I have two. I loved them with my first, I leaked something chronic at nights and it was so good to have something comfy that soaked everything up! With my second I didn't leak quite so badly so could wear normal pyjamas once my supply settled.

    They sound great!! I've given up trying to wear a bra to bed so i just wear a bonds breastfeeding singlet to bed with some breast pads on underneath. Which sometimes slip and then i'll leak all over the bed.

    Yes I brought one. I didn't really like it. I thought it felt like wearing swimmers to bed and it was too padded for my liking. Plus it was Feb when ds was born and I found it hot.

    here I was thinking I had gone way out on a limb with this question

    For those who loved them, when you brought them what sizes did you get and how comfortable were they over your bump, assuming that doesn't go away straight away. Did any of you wear them during the day as well (I am sooo lazy and TBH I cannot be bothered too much with bras when I am sitting at home )

    principessa76 - what didn't you like about them?

    Mum2 - I see your due really soon, will you be trying it again now that the weather is not as hot? how padded are they?

    preagainpan!!!!! - if you google them they have a website. Basically they are a tank top type thing with absorbant stuff in the boob area that draws away your leaking milk keeping you and your bed sheets dry. You don't have to worry about breast pads etc.


    Cheers all

    Natures Child does some lovely organic cotton breast pads in varying sizes - so you can just check them in the wash after use and save yourself spending extra $! They are lovely and soft too - and don't make you sweat like the disposable ones.

    Cool I will check them out as well, I have some washable breast pads already but I was pretty keen on these more so for the hossy stay and nights (rather than wearing a bra and using breastpads) and for some of my more lazy days

    Just wanted to bump this up so I can find out from those who have posted.

    For those who loved them, when you brought them what sizes did you get and how comfortable were they over your bump, assuming that doesn't go away straight away. Did any of you wear them during the day as well (I am sooo lazy and TBH I cannot be bothered too much with bras when I am sitting at home)

    Thanks everyone

    Pre preg I'm about a 10, sometimes an 8, so allowing for breastfeeding breasts and a bit of extra flesh, I think I owned one size 12 and maybe one size 10? They're pretty stretchy, so you'd really just want to base it around your breast size. I had one second hand and one new, and I wore the new one during the day, but not out. Probably as my milk settled I was wanting to wear bras so I could wear nicer 'I've actually made some effort' clothes.

    I loved mine... they are sitting in storage fornext time round

    I wore mine at night only - but i always get dresed.
    Mine never covered my belly

    When i ordered i talked to the girl that made them. I got one size, tried it on and it was huge, called her back, and she told me to send it back (return to sender - so no charge) and then sent out a smaller size.

    I would wholly recommend these and tell all my pg friends to invest.
