nursing pads

[kjbutcher]

I recently purchased Gerber Reusable Nursing Pads.  I tried them last night and they are really noticeable.  I have never noticed anyone wearing them before, not that I go around looking at breasts.  I was wondering if anyone has a brand that they prefer before I go spending tons of money experimenting.  (Or is it just normal for them to be noticable?)  Thanks!

Gerber disposable aren't bad, I also liked Kroger Brand. I only needed them for a short while until my body adjusted on it's own.

I used Lansinoh Disposable nursing pads with last 3 kids.  I loved them!  They soak up a lot, you can't see them through your clothes, and they stay in place.  I bought mine at our drug store and you can get them at places like Walmart.

Hey, you were lucky!  With Nathan, I needed them for 7 months!  And it's been 9 months sinse I stopped b/f and I still have milk!  My body must have though I was nursing twins or tripplets! LOL

I also use the Lansinoh. They're the most comfy I think. I bought the gerber reusables and they were ok but once I washed them, they hurt me! It was like the sides were stitched with fishing line or something! I have tried Evenflo disposables, but they are really big!

I use the cloth ones that are sold by motherhood.  They also sell great padded nursing bras that completely hide the pad, or you can go w/out, and just wash the bra after every use.  It is difficult to get around the big O that the pad displays, especially in the summer when we wear lighter clothing.

I used the brand by johnsons...they are really comfy and very absorbent. I tried all the other brands and this is the one that worked best for me!

I also like the Johnsons.

what i've been doing is using cotton squares, like the kind you use to remove makeup. they have actually worked really well, and are not noticeable at all, especially since all i have been wearing are thin tank tops this summer.
