Avent Disposable Breast Pads

I had to by avent breast pads once when i had ran out of my usual brand. I found that they are to thick padding and too small a shape in diameter which means that when laying in bed and moving around the breast pad moves causing me to leak everywhere. Also the tape that holds it to the bra does not stick very well either. They also dont hold that much milk so you have to change more often. I also found that when the milk dried in the pads it made the pad dry hard which became sore on the nipple. All in all very unhappy with the pad and would much rather pay more for tommy tippie or lansinoah disposable breast pads thinner larger surface and more discreet pad and a lot ...  Read the complete review

I'll start by saying that I tend to leak fairly extensively, and tried a few brands of nursing pads. I had high hopes for the Avent ones because in general I've heard good things about their products. Also, I'd just finished with a box of pads without the little adhesive strip and was excited to stop losing the pads whenever I did anything more athletic than sitting still. The pads look great: they're thickly padded, shaped slightly to fit over the breast, and the adhesive strip goes under the nipple to ensure a secure fit. Fantastic, right? Wrong. The impressive-looking padding is not in the slightest bit discreet. I have a six week old ...  Read the complete review

I think I'll be in the minority with these in saying that I like them! The reasons why tend to be what everyone else dislikes about them, so I'll attempt to explain my madness in case anyone else might feel the same. Firstly the size- they are smaller in diameter than most of the other breast pads available, similar to the Johnsons and Boots own brand ones, rather than the Tommee Tippee, Lansinoh ones.... For someone with small boobs this is actually a good thing! I find the bigger ones stick out of my bra, and are just too big for me. Next, the padding- again, when you have a smal chest, every little bit helps! I don't find these show ...  Read the complete review

These pads came free in a bounty bag that I was given when I first became pregnant so naturally I thought they'd be brillient. Avent is a well known baby product name so I thought I was in for a treat as I dont often buy name brand things because of the costs. The pads are quick thick, much thicker than any other disposable breast pad I have used. Obviously this became a problem as soon as you wore anything other than a huge, wooly jumper. They have a sticky bit on the back so it stays in place but anyone who breastfeed's know that this is uncalled for really as the pad normally stays in place anyway. The pad is pretty flat and didn't really contore ...  Read the complete review

I started off using Avent disposables but quickly changed, to Tescos, as they weren't as good as I'd hoped they'd be. Yes, they were very soft and seemed quite absorbent, but I found that the backing which they have, a kind of plastic (I think), was very slippy and the pads wouldn't stay in place inside my bra. That, of course, meant that I was still leaking through my bra, and onto my clothes. The other problem I found with them was that when the milk which I had leaked dried, it seemed to dry on the outside of the pad and stick to my nipples. Some people may not have found that a problem, but as I have had very sore nipples I found it very ...  Read the complete review
