Boots Disposable Breast Pads

These were the only brand of breast pads that I used whilst breastfeeding and during pregnancy. I'd started leaking at around 4 months (which was a bit of a shock to me!), so dashed into Boots and bought the first packet I came to. Obviously once I'd had my son the leaking became heavier, but as long as I changed them after each feed I found no problems with leaking coming through my clothes. I found them to be soft and comfortable against my skin, easy to position and they seemed to keep in place. They were quite discreet, and it was easy to pop a couple of spares in my baby's changing bag. As they are the only ones I used I ...  Read the complete review

Having just had a good think about the Avent breast pads, I'm in a good frame of mind to compare them to the Boots ones that I'm wearing at the moment. I'm in two minds about this pad. It scores points in two big areas for me, but less in others. They'll stay on my "would buy again" list, but probably down towards the bottom if I'm honest. What I like: Similar to the Avent pads, they are smaller in diameter than several of the other brands, which makes them more suited to those of us blessed (ha ha) with smaller breasts as we don't have the issue of them moving around as much. Along the same lines, they are a bit more padded so can add a bit ...  Read the complete review

i tried both disposible and washable breast pads when i first began breastfeeding my son, and to be honest i didnt find either very useful, as i leaked loads, they were filled quite quickly however if i had to chose between the two i would definately say that disposable breast pads held a lot more in than washable and were much more comfier. if you dont have much leakage then they would be perfectly suited but if you leak a lot the you will probally find that you are using about 3 boxes in nine days (90/120 breastpads). this can prove quite costly so if you do have troubles i would recommend that you invested in some breast shields too. ...  Read the complete review

I used both disposable and washable breast pads when I was breastfeeding and much preferred the washable ones. The disposable ones (I tried Tesco, Avent & Boots) tended to move around and bunch up whereas the washable ones stayed put. I bought 4 pairs from BOOTS (I b.fed for 7 months) & found this was enough as they can be hand or machine washed & dry pretty quickly. Also as they are flesh coloured rather than white they do not show through a white bra & top as much. They are not plastic backed but I never leaked through them and this has the added advantage of making them cooler to wear. The only disadvantage I can see is that they are a bit ...  Read the complete review

i am currently using these right now and i must say that this is the first boots product that i have been disappointed with,i feel that it fails to deliver in a lot areas with regards to what a breastfeeding mum expects from a breast pad.firstly,i didnot like the feel of the pad,it felt qute stiff to me unlike other pads that had been soft to touch.it also committed the ultimate sin in the breastpad book of etiquette which was blatantly refusing to stay in the desired position,it kept dancing around in my bra and this led to embarrasing leak "accidents" in public,it also failed in the function of absorbency as a little leak could render it stiff and no longer ...  Read the complete review
