Does anyone have any opinions on reusable breast pads? if so how many do you think you need to…

I use them and love them. I have 6 and that's worked out great for me

awesome! any particular brand? @santistevanmommie

No lol I just bought them at wal mart. They're ones from avent I think.

I've actually wondered this myself....disposable are expensive and it's bad enough we buy diapers! Can one pair be worn all day and not leak? @santistevanmommie

disposable pads increase your chance of infection and irritation. they can't breathe. cotton reusable are the best way to go. @thehowtohippie actually makes some.

I wear one pair for a week and no more and even if I do leak they're alright if I leak a lot I'll change them tho because it gets uncomfortable

Exactly what @tae23 said.

And yes I make them also

I leak way way way too much for reusable ones! I tried and I still soaked through my bra and my tank too! I also found that my nipples stuck to them and it hurt like a batch to pull them off!! :(

I use them. When I used to leak alot I would change them once I felt them wet (to avoid yeast infection) if they didn't get wet or only wet a little I would flip them after like 6 hrs also try milk savers.
