Hi Donna :wave:

I have a pair of wool/hemp breast pads, I must admit that I don't use them much because I don't leak much anymore. But if I'm going out for the day I do pop them in, just in case. They work fine - the only issue I have with them is that I'm conscious of them, I always stress out that everyone can notice them, but I don't think anyone really can. You just have to kinda move them around a bit until they are sitting right.
I prefer them because I just chuck them in the wash, and I don't have to keep buying sposie ones and throwing them in the bin.

But liKe I said, I don't use them all the time, they're more of a "just in case" thin
G for me.

Oh curtis is getting impatient, better go :D

I used the Avent ones and have had no dramas with them. They wash well and are absorbent enough for me. They can be visable sometimes if you are wearing a clingy fabric, so I use disposable ones if I'm going out somewhere fancy - on the extremely rare occasion! :laughing:

I have some avent ones and a pair of hemp ones, I like them because of the wash factor. I'm at the point where I don't -have- to wear them constantly, just when I go out.

I prefer the hemp ones tho' because they're soft :D

Thanks ladies
Do you know I just wear them all of the time (sposies) I haven't really chanced not wearing them incase I leak, maybe I should give it a go. I leak a lot after and during feeding though.
My boobs stay soft all of the time now that he is feeding well, so I guess I don't really need them until I get a let down.
I'll give it a go.

Hi Donz- i bought a few lots of hemp ones off ebay, i thought they were really good. I found one pair the other day that i hadn't used so if you want them to try i'll send them to you.
