Breastfeeding Pads - Bamboo V's Cotton?

[EternalOptimist]

Hi Ladies,

Just wondering what people’s experience is with Bamboo Breastfeeding pads? I am looking at ordering some reusable ones online and am tossing up between the bamboo ones or just the plain cotton nursing pads from Avent/Medela etc.

Thanks

I bought and used some bamboo ones off ebay. In the early days they didn't really cut it in relation to absorbancy.

I stopped using them for a long while, then started using them again when I cut my supply down (and didn't have really leaky boobs anymore) and I quite liked them.

So I would say, they are good, but not if you have very leaky boobs

I've use peapods bamboo. When my milk came in I had to change them a couple of times a day,but now they're great!

Thanks ladies. So when u have very leaky boobs do u just use the disposable ones?

Yes, I used to use the Rite Aid disposables, I found them to be the best.

Your welcome :-)
Nope I've never used disposables. The cloth have never leaked on me, i just needed to change them more often.
