LilyPadz Non-Absorbent Nursing Pads Review Summary

Looking for a nursing pad that looks good under clothes and helps stop leaks? Many of our pro-breastfeeding moms recommend checking out the Lilypadz Non-Absorbent Nursing Pads. Lilypadz work by applying pressure to the nipple to stop the let-down reflex from occurring (though keep in mind it will not stop a strong let-down reflect from happening.) “[Lilypadz Non-Absorbent Nursing Pads] don't show through clothes and can be worn with or without a bras, under clingy fabrics and even under water,” which is important for new moms who still want to where cute clothes and stay active. “Finally I could sleep bra-less!” one mom exclaims. Able to be washed and re-used, several moms caution readers about making sure the pads are thoroughly cleaned as they can lead to infection if not properly sanitized. Also, due to the continuous wear and washing the Lilypadz Non-Absorbent Nursing Pads do not hold up to their promises of lasting six months. Most report the Lilypadz lasting approximately four months stating they are “they were fantastic – for the first five to seven wears.”

Lilypadz are breastpads made out of silicon rather than absorbent material. Rather than soaking up leaked milk, they put pressure on the nipple to stop the let-down reflex. Since they are flat rather than puffy, they don't show through clothes and can be worn with or without a bra, under clingy fabrics,...

I bought these lily padz because I am most definitly a leaker.  I love that these completely stop the leaks when applied correctly.  The problems comes in getting them on correctly.  If you are breast feeding in public you are left with this sticky silicone breast pad that you have to stick somewhere...

I have recomended these to so many of my friends!!  I had large breast before I was pregnant and they were even larger when I had my son so I was very nervous that these wouldn't fit and they did!  I actually got to go to bed braless!  They do leak if you go too long with them on.  I will definatly use them again!  They do need to be washed very throughly so as not to get an infection, but they don't smell like some pads do.

I hated spending so much money on nursing pads with my first. So 6 years later when I was pregnant with my second I heard of this great product LilyPads. I thought if they could save me some money in the long run the $20 they cost would be worth it. I got the pads a used them while I was pregnant and they worked great because I only had minor leaking. After my son was born, I tried to use the pads again and at my next feeding it completely leaked out and made a huge mess. I thought perhaps I had applied them wrong and tried again a couple days later for good measure, unfortuantely the same experience....

After nursing my first child for 15 months, I was going nuts wanting to sleep without a nursing bra binding me up, so when I came across Lilypadz, I was in Alt, thinking this was a definite answer to round two of nursing when my son came along.

They were fantastic - for the first five to seven wears, then the adhesive began to rub off in spots and I would leak all over the bed, which was what I was trying to avoid!  I tried rewashing and following all the manufacturer's advice, but they were pretty much done for.

I paid $18 for two pairs, so I was able to get about 20 wears out of them, but when...

These are a really neat alternative to cloth-like breastpads. 

 They work well, and it's nice to not have the pad slip around in your bra all the time.  It's great to not leak, and have wetness on your breast all day.

 

But-they have to be washed to regain stickiness after 3-4 times wearing them.  They wear out after a few months and you have to buy more.  And, the reason I quit using them, is it HURTS to peel them off of a sore nipple!!!!!

When I had my first child, I though LilyPadz would be great for preventing leaks and wearing what you want.  However, the first time I tried it (after boiling it as directed), I ended up with a mastitis.  I thought it might have been coincidence so I waited a few weeks and tried again.  The same thing happened.  In terms of leakage, it would still allow leakage.  It just traps it under the pad.  Then, when you try to remove it, the milk spills everywhere.  Bottom line:  Don't buy it!
