BamboobiesOvernight Nursing Pads, Ultra-Soft Velour, Reusable and Washable for Nightly Use, Leak-Proof Pads for Breastfeeding, 8 Pads

PROS:1. Soft - Unlike many disposable or cotton nursing pads, these are so soft that even when I had cracked, bleeding nipples, they never stuck to these pads. Trust me when I tell you that is a big deal! So, my nipples healed better and faster. (Cracked nipples are not the norm for nursing mothers. I recommend that anyone experiencing ANY problems with breastfeeding visit www.kellymom.com or seek advice from a lactation consultant through your hospital or OBGYN - breastfeeding your baby is so worth it!)2. Absorbent - I produce a LOT of milk, and these pads catch and hold every drop. Cotton and disposable pads would often let the milk slide past, to be soaked up by my bra and shirt.3. Leakproof - I've been using these for 6 weeks straight, and have yet to have them leak.4. Well-made/durable - They hold up extremely well, wash after wash.4. Stay in place - Cotton pads seem to shift, but these only do when I adjust my clothing/flaps/whatever for nursing.CONS:1. Price - Yes, these are definitely a bit more pricey at the onset. However, remember that you are not going to need to replace them as you would disposable pads.2. Color option is limited to light blue - Honestly, I just tried to find something else to round out my list. This is not a big deal. They don't even seem to show through my bras or nursing tanks. But I'd like other color options.Hands down, these are the best nursing pads I've ever used. Yes, they are a bit pricey, but they are worth every penny.

I purchased three brands of reusable breast pads (Itzy Ritzie Glitzy Gals, Love My, and Bamboobies in order to compare. The disposable pads irritate my skin and are not cost effective if you are breastfeeding long-term, so I was looking for another option. Here are my thoughts. Please note, I am large busted (40 DD) and have a forceful letdown, so those things are considered in my reviews.Itzy Ritzy Glitzy Gals - These are a bamboo rayon on the side that touches your skin, and appear to be a cotton blend on the "pretty" side. These were the smallest in diameter of the three I tried (they aren't tiny, just small in comparison to the others). They didn't last as long during the day and I experienced some leaks (i.e. saturation through the pad, and my bra / shirt) with this brand. I think this is in part to the fabric on the "pretty side" not being a very moisture-blocking fabric, plus they are a little smaller than my other ones. I also experienced some "sticking" of the fabric to my nipple if I didn't change the pad quickly before the "leaked" milk started to dry. This was a little uncomfortable when removing the pad. If you don't have a lot of leakage or a heavy letdown, these may be ok for you, but I only use them around the house when I am not worried about leaks. I gave them 3 stars - they are fine but not my go-to. They do have the prettiest prints of the three I tried if you care about that. If your bra is not padded, the line around the pad may be slightly visible. Side note - these were much less expensive at my local Motherhood store than on Amazon.Love My - These have the same bamboo rayon "skin side" as Itzy Ritzy but are larger and have a waterproof backing. They may be too large and bulky for small busted ladies but were great for me. They also come with a storage pouch which is nice (I put it in my diaper bag so my clean ones aren't floating loose). I have the same experience with these sticking a bit if my milk leaks and the starts to dry, but have not had any milk leak all the way through the pad (and sometimes they are pretty saturated). If your bra is not padded, the line around this pad may be visible. I really like these and gave them 4 stars - I would have given them 5 stars if the bamboo rayon fabric didn't stick to me. These were the least expensive per pair of the brands I tried. If you can't afford bamboobies these are a great option.Bamboobies - I got a combo pack with regular and overnight pads at my local boutique, plus more overnights on Amazon. These have a super soft bamboo velour (vs the rayon "washcloth" material of the other two) on the skin side and a waterproof backing. I have had zero leaks with these. The heart shape of the regular pads seems weird but it is the least visible as far as lines showing through your bra. I put them in pointed end up. The overnights hold a TON without leaking. They are round vs the heart shape, and thicker, so may show through your bra if it's not padded. These were my favorite brand and did not stick to my nipples when the milk started to dry. 5 stars, but on the pricey side - it they were less expensive I would have bought lots more (although if they were less expensive the quality might not be what it is).Regardless of the brand, I do recommend getting several pairs if you leak a lot - I change mine every few hours so I always have several pairs in the wash.

I am so excited that I got sick of my washable cotton nursing pads!!! Buying the Bamboobies overnight nursing pads was the best breastfeeding accessory decision I've made. I bought them two weeks ago after months using some organic cotton pads (my baby is only just 2 months, but I started leaking a couple of months before she was born).I bought 12 cotton pads and was doing a load of laundry every other day to keep up with the leakage, especially after baby was born and I had so much leakage that I had to wash both clothes AND sheets regularly due to leakage. Even with all that washing, I often still didn't have enough pads to get me through the two days. Also, the cotton pads have become worn and have pills on them, and they don't seem to wash as well - they seem to have hard milk stains that won't wash out.I decided to pay a bit more for some Bamboobies overnight pads - they are INCREDIBLE! They are so, so soft, and they are so absorbent that I can't even tell when they are wet, other than they are heavier. I'd initially been worried that they were one-sided, and that they couldn't be reversed mid-wear in order to find a dry side, but that isn't necessary with these! I wear them through the whole night, without any leakage onto the sheets or my clothes. They don't stick to my nipples when I take them off, and they don't get cold when they are wet. In the time that I would've used probably both sides of 2 or 3 sets of cotton pads and still been uncomfortable, I can use the one pair of Bamboozies all through the night and even in to the morning, without feeling itchy or uncomfortable. I LOVE THEM and I even wear these ones during the day now as well. The size is perfect - they are big enough that I can wear them with a normal sports bra for nursing, without the pads getting folded or lost when I am nursing or sleeping.I am so impressed. I definitely highly recommended these nursing pads!!
