I use reusables, and it works. Though I'm only at home, since we don't nurse properly yet. I'm glad you mentioned it though. I like to be prepared, and I hadn't thought of that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245353 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 17:03:53 +0000 jape14 2245353@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the kind with adhesive on the back (Lansinoh) and never had them fall out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245327 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 16:19:24 +0000 Happygal 2245327@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: same! Took awhile to figure that one out. But it is the best way to keep from looking for them, especially for motn feedings. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245315 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:59:31 +0000 YouGotMe 2245315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was using the kind with the adhesive on the back so they never fell out. Now I've switched to resizable and I just tuck my bra down to cover the nursing pad and keep it contained. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245312 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:55:26 +0000 Foodnerd81 2245312@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrs.shinerbock: I literally never knew what that pocket was for! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245310 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:54:54 +0000 Foodnerd81 2245310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsk: yeah I did it at home, not to be discreet, but so I wouldn't lose it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245301 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:46:07 +0000 LaughLines 2245301@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>mine have sticky on the back and i've never had them fall out or even really thought about it. I only take them out when i'm swapping for new ones </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245298 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:44:52 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 2245298@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some of the covers have a little pocket to tuck it in. I didn't use a cover, I just folded it in half and tucked it in my diaper bag until LO was done. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245273 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:20:50 +0000 SleepyMonkey 2245273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i take it out before i pull down my bra/tank and i put it on the other side. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245255 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:03:12 +0000 Mrsk 2245255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bubbles: great idea! I may try this! Seems like a handy and hidden spot to put it.</p> <p>@Foodnerd81: I'll have to practice this at home before I do this in public, but I could see this working too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245251 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:00:56 +0000 Foodnerd81 2245251@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrsk: I kind of fold the nursing tank or bra down around the pad, so folding it in, instead of away from me. Then it's held in place and covered. You can use the sticky pads on the back but they only hold it so much really. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245250 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 15:00:32 +0000 Bubbles 2245250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to tuck it in the other bra cup :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245244 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:57:56 +0000 blackbird 2245244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take it out because I change them right after </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245243 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:57:19 +0000 Mrsk 2245243@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: @Adira: where do you put them when you take them out? Maybe I'm just being super awkward but we are goi g out for dinner tonight with friends and I know I'll probably have to nurse DS at some point during the meal...where do I take them out and put them discreetly? I feel like I'm 13 again worrying about pads for my first period! So awkward feeling! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245239 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:53:25 +0000 Ash 2245239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just take mine out... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245237 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:53:05 +0000 Adira 2245237@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to just remove them before I tried to nurse - totally agree that they were a pain! I'd just reach in and remove them and then adjust my shirt as needed for nursing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/nursing-pad-question#post-2245232 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:50:09 +0000 Mrsk 2245232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This may seem like a silly question but here goes...I wore disposable nursing pads today at 3 weeks pp as we were having friends over and I have noticed that the side I'm not feeding on leaks. I went to feed DS while our friends were over and had the nursing pads tucked inside my nursing tank. When I pulled down the nursing tank the nursing pad was there and bunched up under ds's head and the. fell out, it was kinda awkward.</p> <p>What do you do with the nursing pad when you pull down your shirt/bra to nurse? How do you keep it from bunching up, falling out or being visible? I'm already working on keeping things contained so I don't flash everyone the goods when I latch him on, these pads are just one more thing!<br /> What do you do? </p>
