Okay, let me start by saying these wool nursing pads are a GAME CHANGER for breastfeeding moms. As someone who tried every pad under the sun (disposables, cotton, bamboo), these merino wool ones from LANACare are in a league of their own.
The softness is unreal - like wearing little clouds in your bra. What shocked me most was how they kept my skin dry while absorbing milk. No more damp, cold feeling like with other pads!
Pro tip: Get 2 pairs! They take about a day to air dry (never put them in the dryer - RIP my first pair). The natural lanolin means you barely need to wash them - mine still smelled fresh after weeks of use which is some kind of breastfeeding magic.
They were lifesavers when I developed vasospasms. The warmth helped so much with the pain. Though fair warning - if you're a heavy leaker, you might want to layer them with another pad as they can soak through during big letdowns.
After 8 months of use, I can confirm: no cracked nipples and only one clogged duct (compared to constant issues before). Whether it's the wool's properties or just luck, I'm sold!
