The cotton bra pads for nursing weren't as good as I was hoping. I was hoping that I could buy a bunch and just keep washing them, but I found that I didn't like them enough to buy more. These might be okay when you are home and not going out, but I wouldn't want them for out of the house. First of all they don't fit into your bra comfortably. They can bunch up. Also they don't hold up very well because when you are leaking it can still go through your clothes. The disposable ones soak up liquid much better. My biggest problem with these was how much they show through your clothes. It's pretty obvious that you are wearing them when you can see big round circles through your shirt. It made me feel uncomfortable going out in them. So the fact that you can leak through and that you are seeing big circles through your shirt is just embarrassing! I would worry too much when I wore these out. It's a good idea, but I wish that they had made them a little differently.

Based on my experiences breastfeeding my first child, I knew I would need a lot of nursing pads to deal with leaking when breastfeeding my second child. The first time around I only used disposable nursing pads. With my second child, I wanted to get washable nursing pads to try to save money. I had two different brands, nuk and some that I got from an online company that also sold nursing covers (I don't remember the name). The washable pads are nowhere near as absorbant as disposable ones. If I was breastfeeding my son, sometimes the other breast would start leaking. Instead of being absorbed by the pad, the milk would just run down the material and into my bra. I ended up using the washable pads only when I was out of the disposable ones and wouldn't be able to go to the store soon. I gave the product a 4 because they are easy to clean and they did save me some money, but they are worthless when it comes to absorbing milk and keeping clothes dry.
