Review on 🌸 Charlie Banana Reusable Nursing Pads: Maximum Absorbency, 6-Pack - Eco-Friendly Cotton and Fleece Washable Breastfeeding Pads by Danielle Phillips

later Okay so yeah I swiped that little Charlie Banana phrase they used on their cloth diapers. I came across these nursing pads while trying to save money on disposable pads (I used Lansinoh Disposables on my first two babies). With my third child, I was a little more environmentally conscious (and price conscious). However, note that this is the only brand of reusable nursing pads I have ever tried. If you use disposable pads, try them and you'll never want to go back to them. I LOVE these pads. They are soft, absorbent and never leak. They even worked through the night (although they were pretty full by the time the baby slept for the first time). I originally bought two boxes of 6 pairs which gave me 12 pairs which is enough for a 5 month old baby but I used to wish I had more lingerie. I would say 18 pairs was good for me because I only had to wash twice a week. I am a woman with small breasts (usually A cup if not pregnant or breastfeeding, but B cup if breastfeeding) and this gives me a lot of coverage. They sometimes crease a bit under my bra cup, but my bra cup doesn't show any creases (it's a lightly padded cup) - if you wear a thin cup, creases may be visible - not sure. The quality/tailoring appears to be good and they have survived multiple times in the washer and dryer with very little wear. I usually throw them in the laundry along with my baby diapers from the same company (sorry if that's rude, but it all comes out clean - I promise!). Remember that regular laundry detergents can coat fleece/cotton and make it absorbent. It is recommended to use an environmentally friendly cleaning agent. My favorite is Nellie's Laundry Soda. In any case, I'll probably buy another crate for Baby #4 when the time comes. :) Also, as a company, I can confirm that the support team took care of my issue with another product they make (not nursing pads but some diapers). Since they took care of me, I trust this company. UPDATE 5/20/14: Well baby #4 has arrived and as promised I'm back to buy a few more boxes to add to the ones my previous baby had - which are still holding up great!
