Nursing pad questions

[hillarywhitney]

1. What do you wear (nursing pad wise) at night? I've been using the lansinoh ones. And they are definitely absorbent enough. But, if I switch sides, my boobs shift in my nursing bra and are no longer covered by the nursing pads. So I've been putting a cloth diaper in my sleep bra. And that works ok. But once it gets wet, it stays wet/damp. And that's not the most comfortable. So, what do you do?

2. If you use disposable nursing pads during the day, do you find they get all bunched up (and harder to smooth out) as the day goes on (from the constant pulling down of the bra flap). Or am I doing something wrong here too? 

Thanks!

1. When I was still leaking, I just had to learn how to position them exactly so they would still line up. I also woke up many times with a wet bra because the pad/bra had shifted or I was simply engorged, causing shifting. I'm not sure there's a way around this except maybe using 2 per side and overlapping them strategically?

2. Yes.

1. Bamboobies. They make a thicker one for nighttime that was great.

2. N/A, but Bamboobies were awesome for daytime and never bunched.

I put a hand towel in my tank top at night. It was big enough that it didn't seem to get soaked and feel wet. I soaked through pretty much anything else when it was at its worst. Later though, I really liked the Bamboobies overnights.

Overnight Bamboobies, or I would sleep on a towel. Some nights I just needed more freedom and would rather leak all over myself and change my shirt than feel soggy.

Bamboobies breath.

I hated disposables, and think that they contributed to my thrush.

1. Bamboobies overnight are the softest but they also take forever to dry in the dryer. I usually use regular reusable ones and change them during a motn feeding.

2. Yes! And I am super paranoid about losing one while nip. I'm trying to be discreet while nursing but then rearranging the stupid nursing pads is more of a distraction than actually nursing!

I always used Bamboobies. I pretty much only wore the overnight ones day and night.

Are you sticking the pad to your bra? I never did that, I just stick the pad inside my bra and it doesn't usually shift (or it does shift with the boob so that the nip is still covered). I've used Bamboobies overnight and leaked through them. I've never leaked through the Lansinoh pads.

And I didn't/don't have an issue with 2 because I don't use the sticky pads to adhere it to my bra. I just take out the pad, pull down my bra cup, and replace the pad when I'm done.

I leaked through everything at night. It was terrible. I used a hand towel, burp rag, prefold cloth diaper, disposable pads and bamboobies (not all at the same time ). In the beginning nothing really worked well, but as time went on the bamboobies were by far the best. So soft and absorbent. I used the nighttime ones at night, and the regular ones during the day. They are much less noticeable than the disposable ones too.

Another fan of the Bamboobies here. As I mentioned in a post over the last week, when I get engorged, the overnight Bamboobies do get soaked and I have to change them, but to a certain extent, when something/anything gets soaked, it gets soaked. Having wet anything is gross to me, so I'd change them. During the daytime, I do like the regular bamboobies as well. Much thinner than the disposable ones and when I do wear the disposables, yes, they do bunch up on me.

I used bamboobies during the day and the sticky lilypadz at night. It kept me from having to worry about things shifting around.
