Key Features in Detail

Absorbency

The Medela Ultra-Breathable Nursing Pads feature a triple-layered polymer core engineered for superior absorption. This core can absorb up to 50 times its own weight, effectively locking away moisture to keep you dry. A waterproof back layer and flexible side guards provide additional protection, preventing milk leakage onto your clothing.

Maintenance and Disposal

Medela Ultra-Breathable Nursing Pads are designed for single-use and are disposable. For optimal hygiene and performance, change pads regularly, especially after heavy leakage or if they feel damp. After use, simply remove the pad from your bra, fold it, and dispose of it in a waste bin. Do not flush used pads.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while using your nursing pads, consider the following:

  • Leakage: Ensure the pad is correctly positioned and the adhesive is firmly attached to your bra. If leakage persists, you may need to change the pad more frequently or consider a different size/style of bra for better fit.
  • Discomfort or Irritation: While the pads are dermatologically tested, individual sensitivities can vary. Ensure the pad is not creased or bunched up. If irritation continues, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
  • Pad Shifting: Make sure the adhesive strips are fully exposed and pressed firmly onto your bra. If the pad still shifts, try adjusting its placement or wearing a more supportive bra.
