Johnson's Breast Pads

Why this product ****************** When I decide I was going to breastfeed my son one of the essentials for me was to have good breast pads or nursing pads depending on which term you prefer. The reason you need these especially in the first few months is: as your milk comes in there is often the inevitable leaks. This is especially true if baby has napped longer and is late for a feed or you hear a baby cry and your body responded with the milk. If you have a good breast pad the only person that will know you have had a leak is you rather than having embarrassing patches on your tops for the world to see. I have tried several makes of breast pad and found the ...  Read the complete review

With 9 months of extensive research I can confirm that these are the best breat pads avaliable. They are more expensive than the rest but there are head and shoulder above the rest as far as quality is concerned. When you first started breastfeeding you can leak alot of milk, the waterproof backing on the "others" may make you feel sore. Because of this they need to be changed more regularly. Johnsons fit well and because they are shaped if you are a little sore they don't just stick to your skin and don't show undernith your clothes. I have tried the cheaper ones but I would never buy or recommend any other brand. ...  Read the complete review

I had the unsual experience of started to leak when I was 20 weeks and so I tried using disposables, but I was getting through so many that I soon switched to washable. I found the johnsons washable ones to last longer, gave no rash and were a lot friendlier to my pocket. I used them all through my pregnancy and all the time I was breastfeeding and after I was finished I passed them onto a friend (dont worry I washed them first!!). They were as comfortable as breast pads can be(you alway feel like you've something strange in your bra), and they were very absorbent. I leaked really heavily after my son was born as he was an incredible feeder and so ...  Read the complete review

I have tried various breast pads from all the top stores, Tescos, Sainsburys etc, but find that they aren't very abosorbant and need changing frequently. I know you should change them often anyway, but as they quite often move around, leaks tend to happen and getting rather wet and soggy isn;t something I like. I found the Johnsons Breast Pads purely by accident - they were the only thing that the local shop were selling, and at £3.09 for 30 I thought they were a bit expensive, but having no alternative had to give them a go. WOW! I was surprised by how thick they were, which gives more absorbancy. They also have a nipple shaped hole, which I think helps ...  Read the complete review

I have tried many different brand of breast pads. At the start I was trying to be economic by buying the cheapest with the most in the box. However, this is definately a case of quality costs more. With the cheaper brands I ended up getting through far more breast pads in a day than I ever did with the Johnsons pads. The only brand that did come quite close was the Boots luxury absorbent breast pads and they did work quite well. The Johnsons pads have a good shape with a nipple area that fitted well and it was easy to know which way round they were supposed to go. They didn't make my breasts look a strange shape either and I could wear tighter tops if I ...  Read the complete review
