Anyone used Lilypadz breast pads?
Has anyone on here used Lilypadz breast pads and if so do they work?! I am going to breastfeed when our baby is born and I have seen these pads on the internet, I just wondered if it was worth forking out the �15 for them as I don't know if they really work and I don't want to throw money down the drain as we need every penny at the moment, lol! I have bought a box of disposable pads but have no idea how much a woman leaks when she breastfeeds...

Trust me, you will be using quite a lot of them and coupled with the other washing you will be doing for bubba you really don't need the hassle! I had a friend who bought the washable ones and they tended to shrink after a few washes...
Washable ones may be good after a time ~ maybe if you intend to breastfeed for a long time and your baby is only on 2 or 3 feeds a day (once solids are introduced)
I was quite a 'leaker' for a long time, and there's nothing worse than a soggy breastpad!

My other thought would be to see how you get on with breast feeding, I found it very difficult with my son and didn't get past 5 days - so wouldn't have wanted to spend �15 on washable pads! I did breast feed my daughter for 3 months, but didn't leak significantly and found disposable ones to be perfectly adequate, not needing to change them that frequently. As Pippa68 says, you don't need the extra pressure of having to get your breast pads washed and dried ready to go out!!
Good luck with the baby!

Ah, I neglected to mention that they are indeed made of silicon and are supposed to stop the leaking in the first place so they don't fill up, they look kinda like those 'party feet' things you put in your shoes to stop your feet hurting, and app you just wash them under the tap etc...Thanks to everyone for their comments tho, much appreciated!!
