The LC at our local lactation boutique recommended me this Ameda ComfortGel Hydrogel Pads for my tender and sore nipples. 
The reviews look pretty good, but they were $16/pair! Lasts "up to 6 days". So I am thinking of ordering more online if I need to.
Has anyone tried these breast pads? If so, how long did you need to wear them before your nipples healed? I'm wondering how many pairs to order.

I actually bought two packs as soon as we got home and never used them ! I used them in the hospital. My nipples didn't take long at all to heal. Less than a week. I found that after the initial blistering and cracking lanolin after each feeding is what helped me the most!

I loved them and I think I used them for longer than their recommended time...maybe 2 weeks!

Love them. Think it took me two pairs to fully heal from a nipple puncture when DS was teething.

@autumnlove: Ooh! Hopefully I can stretch it out that long!
@Mrs. Yoyo: Good point!
OK thanks for the good feedback. Just ordered 2 pairs to be safe!

@shopaholic: I used the Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads . . . probably pretty similar. 
They were AWESOME, especially right out of the fridge! And yep - 2 pairs is perfect!
