I think more like a year. I nursed until 18 months but I think by then my supply had just gotten lower. I leaked on one side all of 3rd tri so that was a lot of the lansinoh pads, but I thought they were great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1512352 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:49:28 +0000 Beebug 1512352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh. I tried a few brands of washable ones, including bamboobies and leaked through all of them. Lansinoh were more comfortable for me (of disposables) and so I just stuck with them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1512337 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:45:06 +0000 artsyfartsy 1512337@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Avent has been my favorite. They're super plush and absorb a LOT. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1512326 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:42:59 +0000 LovelyPlum 1512326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsStormy: Thanks for the suggestion-maybe I should try the lanolin again. I have some Medela brand, but it always seemed so greasy and nasty that I switched to coconut oil. I'm still pregnant, just leaking colostrum like crazy. Maybe my nipples will toughen up-I hope so! They've always been super sensitive to hormone changes, so I'm not surprised that they're irritated. I just need to be able to find something that works. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1512315 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 13:40:05 +0000 Weagle 1512315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Johnson &amp; Johnson. The Lansinoh just weren't very soft. They felt too plastic-y. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511673 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 11:02:14 +0000 Smurfette 1511673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511667 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 10:59:39 +0000 MrsStormy 1511667@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh is what I use and prefer, but for a while my nips were sensitive in the beginning and they bugged me, so during that time I used reusable, after a week or two the lansinoh worked much better and didn't bother me, maybe once your nips toughen up? (I'm assuming this is the beginning of nursing/leaking for you though...) I also suggest lanolin for moisture, it worked much better than coconut oil for me, and provided a bit of a barrier between the nipple and pad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511271 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 09:05:12 +0000 whodat 1511271@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Johnson &amp; Johnson were my favorite. They are thick, stay in place, and don't fold up like some of the other ones. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511240 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 08:54:36 +0000 lawbee11 1511240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh...no issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511231 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 08:52:56 +0000 autumnlove 1511231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511229 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 08:52:39 +0000 illumina 1511229@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started using Lansinoh and then found the supermarket's own brand ones were much cheaper and just as good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1511220 Fri, 21 Mar 2014 08:51:08 +0000 LovelyPlum 1511220@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks all! I have been leaking like crazy the past few days, so I broke into my stash of breast pads. I've been using coconut oil on my nipples, because they're super dry. I've always had sensitive nipples, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised that they bother me. I might try to pick up a few pairs of reusable ones and see if I like those better. Just trying to get a handle on this before baby comes and it becomes a real issue! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510529 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:48:28 +0000 rattles 1510529@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like the disposable, ones, so I bought 8 pairs of reusable ones (I think they're the medela ones?) and washed them whenever I did DD's laundry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510499 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:43:18 +0000 birdofafeather 1510499@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lansinoh disposable and then reusables. i went through a LOT of breast pads, so i stocked up on the reusables. we definitely did wash more than twice a week though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510478 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:38:31 +0000 Dandelion 1510478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have only liked lansinoh. They're the most absorbant and are the most descreet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510470 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 20:36:51 +0000 dolphin 1510470@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Lasinoh too and no issues! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510047 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 19:02:27 +0000 regberadaisy 1510047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Lasinoh and they worked fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510033 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:59:44 +0000 Charm54 1510033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like lansinoh, hated medela! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510028 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:59:06 +0000 swedishfish 1510028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also have the Bamboobies pads. I hand wash them and hang them in the tub to dry when needed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510014 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:56:27 +0000 sarah.clarisse 1510014@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't like the feeling of the disposable so I use the bamboobies heart shaped reusable ones. I have four pairs and that gets me through the week. But I don't leak at all I just need them because I wear the cheapo wireless nursing bra from target and there isn't any padding to hide the fact that the girls are at attention after pumping. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1510006 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:55:58 +0000 Zbug 1510006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to use the lansinoh ones but switched to Johnson and Johnson. Speaking of, I need to order more! By the way, does this leaking ever stop? I'm almost 6 mo pp and still leak from the opposite side when LO nurses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1509954 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:44:42 +0000 Beyond2 1509954@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh were the only ones that worked for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1509944 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:43:29 +0000 sslm 1509944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like the Johnson &amp; Johnson ones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1509922 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:40:36 +0000 PurplePeony 1509922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I tried Lansinoh and Medela (only because a few came with my pump) and I hated both. They made me really itchy. My favorite washable ones now are Bamboobies, they're really thin and soft. The Charlie Banana ones were my favorites early on when I was leakier, though, because they're made of stay-dry fabric. They're just bulkier and don't cup the boob as nicely, so they do show through thinner shirts. I also have some that are terry cloth with cotton backing that I really like, but I don't remember the brand. I think it had "Glam" in the name? Anyway, I have about 9 pairs between the three types and that's a good amount IMO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1509909 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:38:28 +0000 LemonLong 1509909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I liked the Evenflo ones, they were cheaper than lanisoh, but felt just as soft. They didn't have the sticky on the back like Lanisoh though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/disposable-breast-pads#post-1509854 Thu, 20 Mar 2014 18:28:14 +0000 matador84 1509854@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lansinoh.

Do you use a cream too? </p>
