Lansinoh Soothies Cooling Gel Pads, Provides Pain Relief for Sore and Cracked Nipples, Breastfeeding Essentials, 2 Count

Great cooling pads for nursing moms. They stick well, but by the 3rd day they lose their stickiness. They really helped me at the beginning of my nursing journey, helped my cracked, sore nipples recover. I just wish they had a bigger pack!

A huge must! Great gift for breastfeeding mommas or even yourself these really help with cracking or blistering. Easy to use a good size to fit on anybody. Really helps cool and ease pain after breastfeeding and being chapped or raw. Saved my breastfeeding experience. They are thick with the cooling gel but can’t be seen through bra so are wearable out.

I purchased this on a whim one day desperate for something to ease the discomfort in those early days of combo-feeding and pumping. These were a lifesaver at the time. Pack contains 2 sets of large gel pads. Pop the pads in the fridge for extra cooling relief. The gels is soft and cool - no more nipples rubbing on the inside of your bra or sticky cream left on your bra! When I used the pads, I did not have any issues with them leaving sticky residue. The stick somewhat - just enough to help them stay in place. The pads worked well for me for the full 72 hours. They absorb a bit of leaking but probably not a ton. I would definitely recommend giving these a try!

For the new mom-to-be: Your days of meeting your new bundle of joy are drawing near, and you are busy nesting, trying to get everything ready for baby. You should also be getting things ready for yourself, thinking ahead to those early postpartum days especially. These gel pads were a huge help for me in those first days and even stretching out to the first couple of weeks. They will bring relief to your sore nipples, helping you feel much better and allow you to focus on the most important tasks at hand: caring for yourself and your baby. I have used these in the early days of nursing both my children, and they helped bring relief each time I was done nursing. These pads are super easy to use. You simply place them in your bra when you are finished nursing: that's it! If you'd like, you can set them in the fridge for a more cooling effect or place a bag of ice over them while you're nursing like I did in the hospital. There is a tray you should set them on each time you are feeding baby because an important part of using these is keeping them clean. I love that there is really no maintenance other than that (because what new mom has time for much of anything else!), but you can clean them with a little water if need be. The instructions say a pair of these can be used up to 72 hours, but I only liked using mine for about 48 hours before switching them out as they do tend to pick up lint/hair from being in close contact with your clothing and skin. So you definitely want at least a couple pairs stocked in your hospital bag, and then if you need more you can send your significant other to the store for another pair. These would be a wonderful shower gift paired with some Lansinoh Breastfeeding Salve.

Worked well to soothe nips especially when chilled while being an exclusive pumper (I am sure that it would also be comfy for breastfeeding moms) I only gave 4 stars because it can be very easy to get a yeast infection on your nips and if you don't wash these frequently, these will delay getting rid of the yeast as the yeast can stick to these and just keep growing on your nips.

I recently had my third baby and these are my go-to for breastfeeding pain. I give them in baby shower gifts. I recommend keeping one set in the fridge, while wearing the other. I reuse them over and over. Provides incredible soothing relief anytime nipples are sore from nursing.

These SAVED me postpartum!! They feel great and stay in place

Doesn’t cool as much as I would like
