I am a HUGE leaker, and I have let-downs mid feed and all sorts of nice things.
So, for the first 6 weeks I usually go with Pigeon - they have never stuck, have never leaked in public etc, and are soft. Yet expensive at $8-$9 for 24 - but they are my pick.
This time round, for the past 2 weeks I have gone onto just the Coles brand - $5-$6 for a box of 40 - and although they are a little bit scratchier around the outsides - they have controlled my leaking, and I am very happy with them - surprisingly.
I tried J & J with DS1 and swore I would never try them again, they sstuck to my nipples too - was the last thing you need when b/f!
About midway through my b/f journey with DS (so early 2006) the dove breastpads disappeared and I couldnt find them again.
They were the best disposable ones that I'd found too so I was not happy.
The pigeon ones were probably next best but i still found them scratchy after a day or so, so switched to cloth ones.
I recomend getting some, even one or two sets and seeing what the difference is cos the sposies are really pricey and if you're leaking a lot you will go through a lot of them.
I love the pidgeon ultra slim ones for going out etc. I am have big leaky boobies and they are great and discreet if you have a tight top on but they are a bit expensive. I use the Rite Aid ones for around at home and found them to be nice and soft and absorbant too. HtH.
I tried the NUK ones first and really liked them but now I can't find them anywhere
not a fan of pigeon or J&J disposables, I find the pigeon ones go soggy and disgusting by about 3pm and I have to throw them away. the J&J ones are just wrong.
Using Avent cloth ones now and they are great .... haven't tried avent disposables, but maybe they are good?
the dove brand is stll around but renamed swisspers in a purple and white box. mum bought me a box, but tbh im not a big fan, Ifind theyre abit small for me and tend to scrunch up in my bra really easily.
