I've had to try quite a few different types and brands and must say this is the only one which seems to work very well.

I wasn't producing a lot of milk however it does leak at odd moments. When using pigeon's ultraslim breaskpad i know it wont leak to a point of needing changes constantly.

But best of all, it felt like it wasn't there. I didnt have to hide my clothes to hide the odd pattern or dents.

Love this breast pad :)

wasteful packaging, poor fitting pads

i used these initially in my first pregnancy but quickly switched to others as i hated the fit and feel of them. they may be slim but they are big, and dont sit nicely & often will poke out the top of your top due to their size. they are very plasticy in feel and the individual packaging of each pad was unnecessary and wasteful.

to their credit they never leaked and were good value for money.

Pigeon Ultra slim breastpads are great to use while breast feeding. They are slim and thin as the name suggests and they absorb a good amount of milk.

I use to leak a lot of milk from the other breast when i use to feed my son from one breast. These breast pads absorb well and does not give a wet feeling .After every feed i use to change the breast pad so that i can have a dry feeling rest of the time. They stay at one place and does not move around - all thanks to the sticky tabs.

They are soft and gentle on the skin.I did not notice any rash or irritation because of these. I use to wear them almost all the time day and night ( i was changing them when wet ) throughout the months when i brestfed my son.

All in all they are of superior quality, a bit expensive but value for money..

These work really well and dont painfully stick to me like other brands. I got a sample and enjoyed using them. They absorbed well and kept me dry with a gel like layer on the inside when they were wet. The have a sticky area to attach to the bra to prevent them from moving around which was nice. They arnt too bulky and can not really be seen underneath clothes. I went to purchase them after using the trial I got but found them too expensive to use as I go through a few a day, i leak alot! If I could find them on sale and in a pack with more i would buy them all the time.

No good for smaller breasted women

While the absorbency is fantastic - the 'slimness' works against it for me.

I have small breasts even while breastfeeding and because they are so slim they hold no shape of their own - so against my bras etc they have to fold against themselves to be close enough to absorb any leaking.

The top layer also always stuck to me, and they never stuck to my brask properly! They ended up as 'balls' in the bottom of my bras!

Tried these and they were the best disposables - didn't painfully stick to my nipples and absorbed well. Also stayed attached to clothings well. Would buy them again!

The only breast pads I can use and still wake up dry in the morning.
I have tried a myriad of brands but always fall back on pigeon.

Can't see them through clothing and they hold in place really well, the only downside for me is the price

These are great in the ultra thin design however I do not like how the top layer seems to separate a bit and becomes loose after you have been wearing it for some time. It also seems to stick slightly to the nipple area which makes me question the hygiene and absorbtion.

Other than that they are sold in convenient double packs and are quite thin allowing for compactability and travel.

My absolute favourite

These are my absolute favourite breast pad. they are think and not noticable through clothes, they never leak, even if you have been stuck without a fresh one, the inside becomes gel (so doesn't fall apart like some others) and they are individually wrapped. I have never used the adhesive strip. They are definitely worth the money.

These are great breast pads & super absorbent.  Nice & slim so not noticeable through clothing.  Have never had a leakage with these.

Bit pricey compared to some brands, but they are fantastic.  I was buying them in bulk through an online pharmacy ($22 for 100) which was about the cheapest I could get them. 

Loved that they are individually wrapped so you can throw them in your handbag.

These are my favourite nursing pads. I find them extremely absorbent, particularly for overnight use - I wake up and they are extremely heavy with milk but I'm still feeling quite comfortable. I can often find the large boxes (50 pads) at my local chemist for a good price.

Very good absorbancy, very thin and comfortable. Liquid is absorbed and turned into gel to ensure it doesn't leak. Excellent product

These were fairly effective in terms of absorbancy, they seemed to draw moisture away from the skin well and would last all day. They are reasonably priced especially if you buy them on special offer.

I have used these for most of my breastfeeding days this time round. They are a little pricey, unless you can find a chemist that stocks to big boxes, but they are regularly priced down to $6.99 at both coles and woolies. The box says "24 pieces + 6 free", but that has been the case for almost a year now.



I found these were great in the early days of constantly leaking... the milk is drawn away and becomes kind of gel like in the pad.



There is a sticky strip on the back to keep in place in the bra cup, but I've never used it - my pads have always moved around, depending on how full I am!
