My Organic Breast Pads Review and Sponsorship Spotlight

Since my new little girl is here, I decided to celebrate with a fun event, Newborn in the New Year! There is going to be lots of great reviews and giveaways highlighting many of the things that I find essential for newborns and their parents. I'm going to be doing a sponsorship spotlight for each sponsor and there will be chances for extra entries into each sponsor's giveaway at the end of the post. First up is My Organic Breast Pads. (Sponsorship Spotlight post order was chosen via Random.org).

My Organic Breast Pads, also called Hip Hooters, was started by Nicole. Inspired by her own nursing experiences, she brings you stylish, leak free, reusable breast pads that work! Not only do these great nursing pads come in really cute prints, they are made with organic cotton and bamboo with a layer of PUL (polyurethane laminate). This keeps them from leaking through clothing. Take a look at some of the great prints Nicole has in her shop:

I love the colors in the "Geisha" Print.

I want these colors in my living room!

Nicole also sells her breast pads in sets of 6 for a discount.

The Review:

Nicole sent me two sets of breast pads to try out. They came just in time too! The pads arrived just as my milk was coming in, about 2 days after baby girl was born. I washed the pads up and promptly put them to use. Each pad is 4.5 inches across and has a unique scalloped edge. Unlike other reusable pads that I have used, these are backed with flannel which prevents the nipple from sticking to the back of the pad.

These nursing pads have soft flannel next to your skin. The middle layers are made of organic cotton and organic bamboo. A layer of waterproof PUL (polyurethane laminate) is hidden under a layer of really cute cotton print. I thought that the PUL might be a little sweaty but was happily surprised at the absorbancy it added. Even when soaked, the PUL was very breathable.

I only experienced one leak with these pads. It was on an extremely long outing where I forgot to bring a change of pads when my milk was first coming in. These pads were wonderful overnight as well as for use during the day. These pads are also very thin and were very discrete under clothing.

Love the packaging!

I would reccommend washing them in a delicates bag or you will be searching your washing for them. It would be nice to see Nicole add a larger pad to her stock. I am a larger chested women and the extra coverage area would be nice to have.

Materials: Organic cotton, organic bamboo, flannel, cotton and PUL.

Cost: $6.99 a pair or buy 6 pairs for $39.99

I'd like to thank Nicole for the opportunity to review her nursing pads. Stay tuned for a giveaway for three pairs of nursing pads from My Organic Breast Pads/ Hip Hooters!
