breast pads/nursing pads
Does anyone know if they make flesh-colored nursing pads?
I still need to wear them everyday because of leaking incidents (which DH reminds me I should be thankful I have enough if not too much BM for DC), but they are very noticeable under my shirts. I use the thinnest ones I could find (Gerber), but they still look like big silver dollars through my clothes.
I don't notice it most days (actually I probably do realize it but I don't care most days), but I need to find a solution before I go back to work in two weeks!

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
Did you try Lansinoh ones? I find them to be the thinnest.

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
Yes, I have used the Lansinoh ones which have the adhesive on them. I have found they're more noticeable due to their shape...For my regular, non-nursing bras most of the pads are unnoticeable. When I go back to work I'm planning on continuing to use the nursing bras so I can more easily pump while at the office. I think I'll need to just use a regular/demi bra and take the extra time to set up before and after I pump while I'm away from DC.
Thanks!

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
I've tried the Gerber, the Lansinoh, the Avent, and the Medela pads. IMHO, the Lansinoh are the best of the bunch.

I've been using Lilypadz - they've been much better than any other nursing pads I've tried.

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
You might also want to try the cotton washable ones. They would probably be less noticeable than the disposable ones.

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
I BFed for only 2 weeks (but leaked for a lot longer) but I made myself crazy trying to figure this out. I think that the visiblity has more to do with the bra than the pad sometimes. I remember that I liked the Lansinoh pads and the weird off brand that the hospital gave me.

I agree w/ Kerie, I found the bra had more to do w/ it than the pads.
I too like the Lansolin ones though

Re: breast pads/nursing pads
I think wearing a thinly padded bra is the best way to hide nursing pads.

ITA too! And unfortunately I too see them under my clothes. I ordered some new bras to try that have a light lining (not like I need it!) to hopefully hide the pads more.
I am hesitant to try those lilypadz? because I heard it's not good to keep the moisture in, can lead to infections, not convenient for long term use, and can leak too.
