LilyPadz Breast Pads
Lilypadz are revolutionary reusable breastpads that instead of absorbing milk leakage, actually prevent the milk from leaking in the first place. Recommended by the leading Breastfeeding specialist, Geraldine Miskin, each pack contains a pair of two Lilypadz that can be washed and re-used. They work by moulding themselves to your breast, so comfortable & invisible you wouldn't even know you were wearing them - perfect for under eveningwear and for swimming too! They're ultra-thin, flexible, breathable and soft - much better than traditional, bulky breastpads!
LilyPadz Frequently Asked Questions
How do LilyPadz Work?
LilyPadz applies a gentle pressure on the nipple to stop breast milk leakage while they're properly in place. Nursing mums have used their fingers for years to apply this pressure during letdown. LilyPadz utilizes this principle...hands free.
Are LilyPadz For Me? As every baby is different so is every nursing mother. We have a great success rate with LilyPadz, but some women prefer to use conventional pads for personal reasons. We have a greater success rate in mothers with a moderate milk production and flow.
When Can I Start Using LilyPadz? We recommend using LilyPadz when your milk flow has regulated after 4-8 weeks.
How Long Will A Pair Of LilyPadz Last? The life of LilyPadz varies from person to person, but can last for months with proper use and care.
How Many Pairs Of LilyPadz Will I Need? Because LilyPadz are non-absorbent and work to prevent the leak, there are never saturated pads to exchange. And unlike other reusables, there is no downtime in the laundry either. Washing takes only a few minutes per day and that one pair of LilyPadz is ready to go again - that's why we call them continuously usable instead of reusable, although some mothers like the peace of mind of having a spare.
LilyPadz Look Like Plastic Are They Comfortable? Because LilyPadz are made of thin, soft, flexible and breathable silicone they are like a second skin. They protect the nipple from excess moisture, rubbing and sticking as is commonly experienced with cotton pads. Most mums claim they forget they are wearing them
What Are LilyPadz Made Of? LilyPadz are manufactured from silicone rubber compounds, the same materials used in baby bottle teats.
Will LilyPadz Affect My Milk Supply? No, milk supply adjusts continuously based on the supply and demand established by both you and your child. So as long as you are feeding or expressing milk regularly, this balance will not be disturbed.
Are LilyPadz safe? Yes, LilyPadz are made of pure silicone, a material that shows no allergic reactions. LilyPadz have not shown to increase the incidence of mastitis or other complications associated with lactating women. They are also midwife, lactation consultant and Dr approved.
Can I Sleep In LilyPadz? Yes, this has been proven as one of the most popular advantages to Lilypadz. Because of their self-adhesive lining they can be used without your bra - a sleep luxury for any nursing mother.
Can I Go Swimming In LilyPadz? Yes.. LilyPadz must be applied when dry and to dry skin but once they are in place water does not penetrate them and cause them to fall off. So your LilyPadz are effective as you go from dry to wet to dry again and again.
