Re: "Lilypads" Breastpads
LilyPadz are revolutionary new non-absorbent nursing pads. Working on the age-old principle that pressure on the nipple temporarily stops breast milk leakage, LilyPadz keep that pressure constant, even in the absence of a bra, so you never leak.
LilyPadz combine the unique features of flexibilityk, breathability, invisibility and "aticks-to-you-ability" in it's special soft and non-absorbent material. So LilyPadz conform and hold to your breast like a second skin, allowing you to return to your pre-pregnancy wardrobe and lifestyle with confidence.
How do you use LilyPadz?
It's easy. Simply place the LilyPadz over your nipple with the tacky side toward your skin, (be sure to peel the LilyPadz off the plastic backing first!). With a finger in the center of the LilyPadz, firmly depress the nipple and smooth out over your breast. Simply lift off the LilyPadz to nurse your baby and then re-apply after feeding. You can easily stick the LilyPadz to your stomach or arm while nursing, keeping it out of the way but still clean.
Unlike other nursing pads, LilyPadz are continuously usable. LilyPadz contain no adhesives so the self-stick lining will not wear out with repeated washing. In fact the lining is renewed each time they are washed so one pair will last for months! Best of all, the lining is gently on your skin, (some women experience temporary itchiness due mainly to the new pressure sensation rather because of the lining). Just wash with mild soap and water, rinse, and air-dry before reapplying. The whole process takes only minutes.
You can even occasionally sterilize your LilyPadz. Just place in boiling water for 3 to 5 minutes.
Some moms comment that they only need to wear one LilyPadz at a time when they are at home. Remember when the lactation consultant told you to wear a ring and to put the ring on the hand that you finished nursing from, so that you would remember to start on the fuller side? Well, how about placing the LilyPadz on the side that you finished with, so that you automatically start on the full side, without having to remove the LilyPadz!

Re: "Lilypads" Breastpads
I plan to order them online because I have heard great things about them. I'm just hoping that maybe someone might have seen them at a regular store that I could just pick up a set rather then wait for them to come in the mail.
I figure even if I can just use them while I'm swimming and then if I fill them go and change into a regular pad (I have had great luck with Avent) that it would be wonderful. I never even thought about how much the beach would **** if I wanted to swim since I need pads. And it would be nice on super hot days to just be able to wear a cami with a built in bra and these pads and be more discret since I live in Florida and it sure is hot as heck down here!
I'm exclusively pumping so I don't really need to worry about taking them on and off at the needs of the baby since I have a pretty good supply of already pumped milk. I just fear a let down or a crying baby when I have 6 teenagers arriving this week that I have to entertain.
