Lilypadz Nursing Pads

I am planning on nursing this baby and am not looking forward to the hassles of the nursing pads. I had a TON of milk with my son and would just soak right through the pads, my bra, my shirt, and anything else. I saw these in the Motherhood Maternity store and the sales lady said she would strongly recommend them to everyone who plans on nursing. Just wondering if anyone has tried them, and how did they work for you?

I used them with my son. They were pretty ok. They were good for during the day, but not at night. After a while they lose their stickyness and wont stay on anymore.

I used them both at night and during the day.

I live in texas and I was nursing my baby in the summer, when I would sweat they fell off- understandable.

They stay on, and they are the only way I could make a trip to the grocery store without my baby without leaking through all my clothes!

I leaked horribly bad and would leak through 5 cotton breastpads in seconds- lilypadz stopped that.

A little milk would still build up in the cup, but it kept enough pressure on my nipples to keep the leaking down to almost not at all.

Rinse them off, let them dry and they go all over again!

I'm buying another set this time around :)

I hated them. They would get milk bubbles between my skin and the plastic. I got rashes from them because I would still leak milk.. You have to wash them before putting them back on, which isn't very convient when say nursing in public. Huge thumbs down from me.

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who didn't like them.. I hated the fact that the milk wasn't absorbed, it was just there waiting to spill out when I took them off. It was kind of gross. NOW, if I could use them w/nursing pads (disposable) then I'm all for it.
