I had letdown whenever I heard ANY baby cry within a 5 mile radius whether it was my baby or not. <BR/><BR/>In all seriousness, have you tried the Avent brand?

And fairly cheap.Ginahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11604097511444010759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169914709426011522007-01-27T11:25:00.000-05:002007-01-27T11:25:00.000-05:00I have to admit it, the leaking thing sucked. I had to change pads like every hour, sometimes more! I can't remember which brand I used, I think it was the same ones you have pictured, but they didn't really absorb as well as I thought they should. It will get better. I had to wear pads until we got into a really good feeding schedule, a few months, and also at night after they started sleeping all the way through. It's no fun waking up in wet sheets, let me tell you!Juleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10948932943290994719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169898086009008382007-01-27T06:41:00.000-05:002007-01-27T06:41:00.000-05:00I used a ultra thin pad cut in half, sooooooooo cheap, so absorbant, I could never see it through my bra, and anything that doesn't irritate your who who, isn't going to irritate your ta ta!spellconjurerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15944374660507188594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169876571963599952007-01-27T00:42:00.000-05:002007-01-27T00:42:00.000-05:00God. I so remember being terrified to even go to the corner store for fear of involuntarily spritzing the shy/quiet proprieter with my mammoth milk hydrants.<BR/><BR/>The bad news is, the pads are all shit. I tried them all. The good news is, the leaking doesn't really last that long.<BR/><BR/>And also, Nate is so cute I almost want to have another.

They did keep me from leaking, except when I would nurse. If I was nursing on my left side, the right side would leak. Because the LilyPadz can't absorb, it would leak out. Another thing I didn't like...we have a cat and I sat the pad on the couch when I removed it to nurse my son. The cat hair stuck and did NOT want to come off...even after multiple sterilizations!!<BR/><BR/>I also really liked the Lansinoh. My baby is now 11 months old and I don't have leaking problems at all...so no pads for me..YAY!!<BR/><BR/>Your baby is sooo precious.

But trust me, they rock. R. O. C. K. in the USA, I mean, CA. I went through two pairs of these babies, and I still love them. No sanitary-pad-in-the-bra look, and NO leakage. <BR/><BR/>www.lilypadz.com <BR/><BR/>Also, most online stores that carry baby stuff sell them.Jezerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07342441899854569351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169864720068334402007-01-26T21:25:00.000-05:002007-01-26T21:25:00.000-05:00LOL, that is too funny. I think I tried every brand of breast pad known to man with my kids and just gave in finally and bought the washable kind. They are soooooooo soft and comfortable. But I was also one of those who leaked tons of milk the first six weeks or so that I had to change the freaking pads every hour if not more.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12736269711672542301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169861966275755142007-01-26T20:39:00.000-05:002007-01-26T20:39:00.000-05:00I really laughed out loud at that one!

They were great for me and I never had any leaks or irritation.

I used the "Lansinoh" with both pregnancies and they're so comfy and work great!

She used me as a human pacifier, so my body thought it should ALWAYS be producing milk. Fortunately, with the others, I could get away with smaller cloth ones, which proved to be more comfortable and economical than the disposable ones.Heatherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01975795000759157299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169844940036659312007-01-26T15:55:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:55:00.000-05:00LOL :)Robynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09517647793482278564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169842826705464362007-01-26T15:20:00.000-05:002007-01-26T15:20:00.000-05:00Hello, I just started reading your blogg. My name is Karen. I just wanted to recomend lansinoh Disposable Breast Pads (you can get them at target or a wal-mart) they are soft and very absorbent. Not only do they work well the are bigger and cover you breast a tad better then the little ones that make it visable you are wearing a breastpad. Congrats on your sweet baby boy.<BR/><BR/>KarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169834522823934612007-01-26T13:02:00.000-05:002007-01-26T13:02:00.000-05:00Hi Karla,<BR/><BR/>I'm delurking to let you know that as much as I hate to admit it, I am one of those women who needs that LeakSafe Design. (I nursed my 2 children and am pregnant with my 3rd. For the life of me I can't remember what brand I used the first two times and was just thinking about this the other day.)<BR/><BR/>Anyhow, my point is that, other than the toe curling sore nips at the beginning, the leaking was next on my list of things I couldn't stand about nursing. You know its bad when you start wondering if you could save time pumping by simply squeezing your nursing pads out into a bottle! (Ok - so it probably wasn't that bad, but it certainly felt like it at the time!)Lisahttp://www.ct-baker-family.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169834432807025942007-01-26T13:00:00.000-05:002007-01-26T13:00:00.000-05:00Priceless!!

You brought back some memories for me! It sounds like they have not improved on their technology for more than 17 years (the last time I was nursing). The worst part for me was when they would stick. It was like taking a bandage off your nipples. Yowch! I tried both the "rip it off fast" and the "slow and easy" technique. I still get a shiver thinking about it.Lindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15222197140433385319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169831937063489422007-01-26T12:18:00.000-05:002007-01-26T12:18:00.000-05:00I found the Lanisoh pads scratchy and expensive, especially when you're going through them so often. (Actually, I found most Lanisoh stuff pricey and not worth the money.)<BR/><BR/>I finally settled on Johnson medium flow pads. They're ultra soft and have a little indent for your nipple. It was nice to not have it all smushed, and you can rub it down on the outside so you don't have perma-nip through your shirt.<BR/><BR/>Also Nipple Butter from Earth Mama Angel Baby (http://www.earthmamaangelbaby.com/organic_nipple_butter.html) was a life saver for ouchy nipples.<BR/><BR/>As a bonus, it's awesome on chapped skin, such as a raw nose when battling a cold.<BR/><BR/>Good luck -- you'll find your boobie faves,<BR/>CCarlyhttp://durhamregion.typepad.com/carly_foster/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169830493145692822007-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:002007-01-26T11:54:00.000-05:00Hi Karla,<BR/><BR/>I had no luck with the disposable breast pads myself , so I bought the Evenflo Clothe ones :) And loved them , they came with there own little laundry bag too:)<BR/><BR/>try them I think you'll really like them !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12843084.post-1169830042206701562007-01-26T11:47:00.000-05:002007-01-26T11:47:00.000-05:00You definitely need Lansinoh ones.

I still have an almost full box of the Gerber pads from when my first son was born...the Johnson & Johnson's are sooo much softer! Those are the ones that I stuck to, although I do agree with PinkShoes and Liss about the Lansinoh ones. I used those a couple of times when I couldn't find the J&J's.Catehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17427389718616405880noreply@blogger.com
