Great for sore nipples Review by LM
Price Value Quality I found these great for healing, warmth, and general comfort in the first what-did-I-get-myself-into-this-hurts days, and reliable absorbency and hiding ability later on. I don't leak much at all while wearing a bra, so they only had to catch the odd drip, especially while nursing the other side. Although bulky (I had size large for DD/F), the thickness is appreciated to add that layer of padding for smoothing.
I wish however they came in black as well to match my black nursing bra. (Posted on 4/10/11) -
Too thin Review by Eleanor
Price Value Quality I gave these a try, but found the absorbency to be completely insufficient. I think I was a moderate leaker for the most part, but these weren't up for it. Because wool is water-repellent as well as absorbent, by the time the milk had soaked in to the pads, I found it had run down and wet through my bra. (Posted on 1/2/11)

Disappointing and expensive, does not meet expectations Review by Jingshi
Quality Price Value I bought these after my third baby was born. I'd read about them but could not bring myself to spend so much money on nursing pads. I also doubted my ability to properly care for wool. But after my third baby I was going through cotton ones four times a day, doubled up. I couldn't keep up with the laundry so I'd end up stuffing towels down my shirt. I guess I have a lot of letdown. I bought two pairs of wool nursing pads in the hopes I would have better protection and be able to cycle the pads without washing in between.
While it is convenient not to have to wash the pads regularly, the absorbency is disappointing. It is slow to take up so milk tends to just dribble down the pad into my bra and shirt. It I hold the pad firmly to prevent this from happening it leaks into my bra and shirt and I end up having round milk stains over my chest.
The best pads I have are from this site. They are the cotton/wool pads (http://www.bynature.ca/organic-cotton-wool-nursing-pads.html). I love them as they are comfortable and have good absorbency. But I still need to change them several times a day. Either I launder them frequently or buy six pairs... One is inconvenient and the other too costly so I still don't have a good solution to this problem! (Posted on 7/6/12)
