I tried reusable pads but they soak through so quickly, even when I change them often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496907 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:12:43 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1496907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thanks everyone! I have motherlove nipple cream but I've heard more about EMAB, so I think I'm going to get that and see if it helps more. I'm going to look into the reusable ones although I really don't leak much except sometimes at night. I'm really just trying to get my nips to heal asap and I hate having my boobs hanging out all the time. It's uncomfortable and cold! Haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496891 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:04:26 +0000 Springtime 1496891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes I do this and never had a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496889 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 14:01:39 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1496889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I would look into a lanolin-free nipple cream (a recent study actually showed a increased risk of infection if using lanolin over other nipple creams). But yes, you can use virtually any nipple cream with disposable nursing pads. Though I love the organic cloth ones sold at BRU!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496737 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 11:15:11 +0000 PurplePeony 1496737@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used nipple cream and nursing pads together, but I hated the disposable pads. They didn't fit right and felt itchy. I switched to washable ones and was much happier...you're already doing so much laundry, it's not a hassle to just toss them in and they take up practically no space. I did go through several sets a day in the early weeks, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496690 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 10:24:48 +0000 singingbee 1496690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I leak all the time and use the lanolin and disposable pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496689 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 10:24:15 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1496689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used them both and never had a problem either. Just make sure to "air out" your nipples and change your pads frequently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496684 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 10:20:56 +0000 MrsH 1496684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used them both and never had a problem. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496573 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 06:30:40 +0000 septca 1496573@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You absolutely can. I much preferred washable nursing pads though - the disposable ones are really crinkly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496571 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 06:21:48 +0000 swedishfish 1496571@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lanolin made my nipples crack. EMAB nipple butter worked wonders for me. I also used non disposable nursing pads that I washed whenever they got wet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496558 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 05:33:51 +0000 rrachael 1496558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can! Maybe just change them often to avoid thrush? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496554 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 04:57:35 +0000 Mrs. Oatmeal 1496554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep! You can! I slathered them with lanolin or nipple butter, stuck a disposable pad inside my nursing tank/bra, and at least got a bit of relief. The pads will suck up a bit of the lanolin, but at least you're providing a protective barrier and not staining your clothes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496552 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 04:51:29 +0000 ElbieKay 1496552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suggest getting the gel pads instead. I think you can use them instead of lanolin. They have been a lifesaver for me this week.</p> <p><a href="http://www.diapers.com/p/soothies-gel-pads-by-lansinoh-22632?productId=22632" rel="nofollow">http://www.diapers.com/p/soothies-gel-pads-by-lansinoh-22632?productId=22632</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496545 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 03:28:13 +0000 Kemma 1496545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure because I never needed nursing pads but the combo of lanolin and nursing pads can be a recipe for thrush... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/lanolin-and-breast-pads#post-1496542 Sun, 16 Mar 2014 03:23:21 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 1496542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>OK this might be a dumb question, but can you use lanolin with disposable breast pads? Like, apply it and put a breast pad over your breast so it doesn't get on your clothes? Does it still work the same? My nipples are sore and I'm using it after every session buy I hate how it stains my nursing tanks. </p>
