Our sustainable reusable bamboo breast pads are an absolute essential (Pack of 6)
Collections: All, Breastfeeding
Our reusable bamboo breast pads are super absorbent, machine washable and a more sustainable option than single use breast pads. They offer comfort and protection to make your breastfeeding experience easier and eco friendly.
Our super absorbent Bamboo & Cotton breast pads are a great sustainable choice for breastfeeding mums. They are reliable nursing pads ready to absorb released milk preventing leaks. They are soft & comfortable bamboo fibre towel with antibacterial benefits with strong absorption. Each pack of Myrtle & Maude breast pads contains 6 reusable & re-washable breast pads and a convenient drawstring travel bag. The truth is, it can be messy, but it's completely normal. Breasts that leak, drip or even spray milk in the weeks (and sometimes even months) after delivery are a common and normal postpartum symptom. A baby's cry…. even if it's not your bubba might trigger a squirt. You might spring a leak in the shower, in your sleep or if you're running a little late for a feeding, and you can drip from one breast or both. There's just no telling when or where you might leak, so keep that in mind as you plan your day — and your outfit.
The Science behind our 3 layer pads
1. Outer layer - 50% bamboo fibre & 50% cotton
The bamboo fiber towel fabric has natural anti-bacterial and anti-odour material providing comfort and cleanliness all day. The breast pad stays at body temperature unlike disposables, which can cause discomfort and irritation from the cold & damp.
2. Intermediate layer - High density sponge
The high-density foam layer of the pad creates the perfect shape to fit your breast, so they are comfortable and discreet to wear. It retains excellent strength, stability, and rigidity. The breast pad has a 3-D cup design, which fits perfectly to the natural breast curve providing full breast support.
3. Inside middle layer - Instantaneous absorption
Our 100% cotton layer is against the skin that is soft and sensitive on the skin and provides instantaneous milk absorption and protects the nipple. Our reusable bamboo breast pads are machine washable so can be used time and time again, saving you money and saving the earth's resources as the same time.
What do the NHS say about leaking breasts?
Sometimes, breast milk may leak unexpectedly from your nipples.
Wearing breast pads will stop your clothes becoming wet with breast milk. Remember to change them frequently to prevent an infection.
Expressing some milk may also help. Only express enough to feel comfortable, as you do not want to over stimulate your supply.
If your baby has not fed recently, you could offer them a feed as breastfeeding is also about you being comfortable.
NA
- Wash before use, this makes sure they are lint free and ready to absorb
- Machine wash at 30-degrees or hand wash
- Air dry in full sun as the sun's UV rays are quite effective at killing bacteria that cause odour
- Do not iron/ tumble dry/ bleach
Breastfeeding (nursing) your baby can be a good experience for both the mother and the baby. It takes time and practice to get comfortable with breastfeeding and get the hang of it, this can happen faster for some women than others. Breastfeeding does not happen for everyone and can take a physical and mental toll on the body. However you choose to feed, this should be the best way for you and your baby.
Once comfortable with nursing
Use these moments to take a minute for yourself. Meditate, listen to music or scroll through Instagram, find something to relax you you can do in this short period of time.
Schedule ‘self-care’ dates and pop them in the diary
Planning is a major part of motherhood, especially with a nursing baby. Remember to book time in for yourself whether it’s a hair appointment, seeing friends or even an empty house for an hour.
Nourish your body
Breastfeeding mums should be eating around 1800 calories a day in order to have enough energy to for their body and their baby.
