Good Value For Money
Killy's comments about Nursing Pads
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful

I had a massive oversupply and it didn't matter what brand i used i leaked so i was going through a fair amount of pads.  These were priced well and although not as absorbent as some, there were discrete and affordable.  They are a good size and cover the breast well.

I still use these now as my supply as settled down and i dont need to change as often

Not absorbent enough for me!
Stumbleine's comments about Nursing Pads
4 out of 6 people found this review helpful

I used these in the early days after my daugther was born and unfortunately found that they were not absorbent enough for my heavy oversupply, and as a result I feel they contributed towards my nipple thrush. 

These would be a great breastpad for women who do not have a heavy leak as the price is comparable and the inner padding does not bunch up like some of the other cheaper breast pads.

I have tried a couple of brands and have found this product to be the best in terms of value for money, absorbency and overall comfort. I found the sticky backing a great idea, however they do sometimes slide down in your bra but this is usually when they are quite full, so after a few hours. I also liked the idea of them being individually wrapped as a pair, its convenient to grab them out of the pack as a pair, and also to keep hygienic in my nappy bag. I found when I first started using them, when my milk was settling in, they would become incredible full due to my abundance of milk but they never leaked through to my tshirt, so I was suprised at the absorbency.

Overall I would highly reccomend this product.

I tried quite a few different brands of breast pad both disposable and non disposable and all of them leaked in the first 6 weeks when my milk was settling in. I found Rite Aid were the best pad for comfort and absorbency plus I liked that they are individually wrapped so it's more hygenic when popping them in the nappy bag etc. They are great value for money and I always recommend them.

PROS: These pads are packaged individually which is very handy. It makes packing them for trips or in your purse easier and cleaner. Easy to open without having to struggle at all. They are soft and smooth pads, feeling great on your skin, not scratchy at all. Thin and discreet under clothing which is great during the summer. I found they were one of the best pads avaliable here in Australia. I expereinced no leakage during the night which is hard to find in a breast pad.

CONS: Sticky backing on the back in one spot to attach to bra but it needs another spot as it still slips down to under your breast at times.

Overall I was really impressed by these pads, they are a great price for a very effective and comfortable product.

These breastpads didn't work for me, I found they would leak after about 2 hours and are definitely not for overnight. 

They are a great price but I find the price matches the quality, often slipping down and very scratchy.

Great Value & Effective!
Kyash's comments about Nursing Pads
17 out of 33 people found this review helpful

I have tried nearly every brand of breast pads and found these to be the most effective, comfortable, reliable and best value for money.

They are absorbent and plastic backed (so do not leak & feel dry when wet). Yet are still soft & thin enough that they can fold with your bra, so they don't fall out when feeding like I found some of the more expesive ones would, and cannot be seen through tops/bra. The sticky is pretty good, but not the strongest compared ot other brands - I just found putting the sticker towards the bottom of bra worked best for me.

Great for when applying nipple cream (avoids staining your bra) and day or night use.  

Invididuall wrapped handy for nappy bag, and I just recylcle the plastic individual wrap.  

Affordable enough that I was happy to change them frequently and wear often for piece of mind when heading out.

I think I prefer these nursing pads to the reusable ones!  They are highly absorbant whilst still being thin, don't stick to my nipples and are cheap compared to many other disposables out there.  They tend to stay in place for me even without using the little sticky bit on the back.  The only downfall is that as far as I can tell they are not environmentally friendly - biodegradable or made from recycled products.

Rite Aid Nursing Pads are great for the price - they are inexpensive and fairly absorbent. They are quite rough and stiff, however it's to be expected of a cheaper product. All in all, I think they are a good nursing pad.

This is a great product, even the best disposable nursing pad on the market! Super absorbent and excellant materials - that don't stick to you.

I would love to see this product ditch the individual wrapping, it is unnecessary packaging and I would love to see this company be nicer to the earth and remove the individual packaging, as we already feel guilty enough when I have to use disposable nursing pads - for conveince.

I had an oversupply problem for the first four months so was constantly leaking, to the point of going through a couple fo breast pads every hour.  Rite Aid ended up being the cheapest per pad of any I could find, along with being absorbent and being able to wick the moisture away from my skin.  Even when full they have done an amazing job.

Individually wrapped which is handy for throwing some in the nappy bag or handbag and I know they won't get ruined and become unhygenic.

Often on sale ot Coles or Woolies, so  I buy a couple of bexes at a time.

Found them to be the most effective for a reasonable price. Comfortable, absorbent. Had no issues with them. Came to this conclusion after trying about 4 different brands. I went through boxes and boxes before my breasts stopped leaking all the time. Had to wear them day and night. Wouldn't leave home without them!

I tried many samples before choosing Rite Aid. They are affordable, always seem to be on special when I get the groceries. Also have great absorbancy day and night. I accidently put one through the washing machine and it stayed in one piece, lucky for me there was no fluff to pick off clothes. and it was full of water. I could not believe it. What a test! Only down side is the sticky part.They could be a little stickier. I did find these great to use after the first few weeks of breast feeding. My nipples were really sore to start with and I found Johnsons brand to be softer on the nipples, then I switched to Rite Aid once that settled down. I am still using them. My daughter is now six months old. I love that they are individually wrapped.Just put all the plastic in your recycle bin.

Rite Aid Nursing Pads

After looking at all the nursing pads available in my supermarket, I decided on Rite Aid because they were the best value of the premium nursing pads and they absorbed well. I leaked a lot when I fed my son and they protected me sufficiently. I also used them when feeding my daughter. They were great overnight too.

I only had a trial pack of these, but when I used them I found them to get quite hot and itchy.  suppose they could be absorbent but I didn't leave them long enough to find out. I won't be buying them.

These are cost effective. I can't reall coment on absorbency as I'm not a big leeker, but they have a plastic back so the breast can't breath which can increase risk of mastitis is used too oftern. I have them for emergencies but I wouldn't use the every day.

I actually found these to be pretty absorbent, so I was surprised at other reviewers comments saying otherwise. I thought I leaked a lot, but maybe not!
They are very inexpensive and I can get away with just two pairs a day. The only negative for me would be that they feel quite stiff, I have noticed that other brands are softer and mould to the breast better. But at that price, i'm really not going to complain :)

Interesting to read the reviews from very negative to very positive.

My experience is positive. They were the first breast pads I ever bought & 3 months later I am still using them. They are economical & last all day for me, even though I hav a fair amount of leakage.

They do not stick overly well and sometimes they have bunched up on me.

They are also individually wrapped in plastic (not in pairs) and this I am not happy with as it is such a huge waste of packaging.

Everyone will find their experiences different so try to buy some small packs until you find the pads that are suitable for you.

These were so good. They came packaged kinda...unattractively... in their box, but they worked as well as the other disposable breastpads I was happy with (Pidgeon), but they cost next to nothing compared to other brands.



They, and the Pidgeon ones, were the only brand I tried (I tried all brands my local supermarket stocked) that didn't make my nipples super-itchy.



I think they were fabulous.

These were really hopeless, i just leaked through. I wish that i had known at the beginning, by the johnson and johnson breast pads they really are the best, the lasted me all day and were super comfortable, no horrible plastic like the other ones and they don't hang out of your bras..... In the end i think breast pads are like nappies, you really do get what you pay for!!

These are great if you are not leaking alot.

But now I find these are great value for my $$ and I buy the bulk pack!

I used these early in my feeding days, and didn't like them at all!! They felt very bulky, and didn't keep they're shape very well. Also weren't very absorbent, at least, not for me, I regularly leaked through them! And they constantly felt wet. Quite cheap, which was why I bought them in the first place, but after a couple of days use, I chucked 'em, didn't even keep them for emergencies.

I bought these because they were very cheap but I quickly regretted it. They were not very absorbant at all and became soggy and crumpled within an hour of putting them on. I had to change them a lot more than my regular pads so they were not good value for money at all.
