Comments:

Individually wrapped pads make these pads easy to travel with and give you comfort in knowing that the pad you are putting against your breast will be clean.  These pads are very thin and do the job of keeping the moisture, caused by milk leaking from the nipples, away from the skin and off of your shirt.  My breasts are a size 34D prior to breastfeeding, larger now, and the pad is large enough to lay flay against my breast. However, this wrinkles pretty badly and the wrinkles poke through the shirt.  You have to work to lay it flat on your breast.  Once you get it in place, however, it does stay where you put it. The pads also have a plastic-like layer on the side that touches your bra and it makes a crinkly noise if you touch it. For me it almost felt like I was wearing a small diaper in my bra.  While I like the size of these I don’t like the material. I purchased these and used them for two months before switching back to my favored nursing pads.
