Description
Leaking milk sitting against sore nipples only makes things worse. These contoured pads have a soft bamboo-blend lining that feels gentle on sensitive skin, with an absorbent core and a waterproof outer layer to keep you dry.
You get four, so one pair can be in the wash while you wear the other. They go in the washing machine and replace the stacks of disposable pads many mums get through.
The curved shape sits neatly in your bra, so they stay discreet under clothes.
