A Lifesaver for Sore, Cracked Nipples!
These hydrogel pads have truly saved me during breastfeeding. I was struggling with painful, cracked nipples and these gave instant relief the moment I put them on. They’re cool, soothing, and help my skin heal so much faster while also protecting from friction between feeds. I honestly don’t know how I would have made it through those early weeks without them. I’ve bought them multiple times and always keep a pack on hand — absolute must-have for any breastfeeding mom!

Lifesaver
I’m not one to ever take the time to do product reviews. But let me just say, these are a LIFESAVER. One of my nipples became super painful due to using the wrong flange size on my pump. I had to continue pumping after that, and it left me in tears. I couldn’t even let my bedsheet touch it.I looked into purchasing silverettes, but read the reviews on these and decided to give them a try first- as these were much cheaper. Within one day of use, my nipple was much happier. I can even pump without crying. (Granted, I have the pump at the lowest setting right now for comfort.) With the holidays coming up, I recommend getting any of your pregnant or postpartum ladies this as a stocking stuffer. They will thank you later!!

They give you a better breastfeeding expereince!
So much to say about these lifesavers.For context, it took a while for my milk to come in so my baby was trying to nurse with very little milk expression for the two weeks. Poor little guy was sucking so hard and getting so little. These gel pads helped me stay the course with breastfeeding when I almost gave up. I used Prolanan ointment at first which is great. However, it got to a certain point where I was blistering, sore, and peeling. Once I discovered these pads from my lactation consultant, I bought them in bulk and didn’t look back. I basically wore them as pasties for the first 4 weeks with my newborn.A few things to note:-They are extremely sticky, once you get them to adhere correctly. I would wet them quickly, and then put them on with a tighter bra, shirt, or sports bra to hold them in place while they adhere. It takes your body heat for them to gel to your shape and stick well.-They also are super absorbent and helped limit breastmilk leaks. However, they are not able to hold your milk “let down” once the dam breaks with feeding on one side.-They are reusable! I would be able to get 24-36 hours of use out of mine if cared for properly.- They help heal your nipples quickly so you can continue to breastfeed regularly.I’m so grateful that I found these so early on in my postpartum journey, as they helped me have a more positive experience with breastfeeding by saving me a lot of pain and struggle to get in my groove!

Not Just for Moms
I bought these for a friend’s baby shower. I have used these for other issues on my body and have had amazing results!They are a bit small per piece for the price point. I paid about $6 for them and while that may not seem like a lot, the box only comes with 4 and if you use two (one for each nipple) then you only get two uses out of them which feels frustrating for how often they need to be used. I thankfully used it for a blister since it was so sensitive, other bandages were irritating it. These specified that they could helped with cracked nipples, so figured I would give it a try.The cooling effect is the biggest selling point. It genuinely feels like having a cool wipe on you and it gives so much relief. I think every new mom should try this at least one/ every friend should gift this to a new mom at least once to try!

Great product!! Life saver!
Love these! Worked so well and helped with pain and healing while breastfeeding. They stick well and you can rinse them off and reapply for multiple uses. No leakage and thickness and durability was perfect. I wish they were more affordable when you need a lot of them over the weeks of learning to breastfeed though!

Ok.
These are NOT like the ones that the hospital gives you. It sticks to everything, doesn’t stay on. It helped for like 2 hours vs the ones that I received from the hospital stayed on ALL DAY and without sticking to your clothes.

Postpartum Must Have!
These are a must have for nursing mom’s! I’ve used these with several of my babies and they really help with soreness from nursing or pumping the first week postpartum especially. You can also put them in the fridge while pumping or nursing to get them nice and cool for use afterwards!

Ideales para calmar el dolor y ardor de los pezones adoloridos por mal agarre.

乳頭の水ぶくれが破れてしまったので藁にもすがる思いで購入。傷治りかける→授乳で再び痛む→傷治りかけるのループを数日間繰り返していましたが、これを貼って１日でかなり傷が良くなり、2日目以降は使わなくても済む状態になりました。推奨されていないかもしれませんが4分の1にカットして使い、問題なく使えました。

Not worth the price.

Absolute game changer!! These just arrived and I used them right away because my nipples were quite raw and holy crap the instant relief I feel is amazing. I wish more came in a box but I’ll definitely be buying more.
