moms who have breastfed

[Mreeah]

I need your wisdom!
Im trying to decide whether or not to use reusable or disposable nipple pads.
At wal mart here they only have the lanolin brand reusable which is like $10 for a pair. And then 60 disposables for like $6
So naturally im kind of leaning towards disposable...but curious to know how the reusable ones hold up?
Or if anyone has thought about some kind of makeshift alternative to nipple pads lol ive thought about using a thin pad or evena thin wash cloth or something. :/
Any information on the subject is welcome! (:

I produced a lot of milk with both my kids at first until they were on a schedule. So at first I used disposable ones and then I used re use able ones.

Honest.com has deals on breast pads. You should check it out. Plus they're reuseable. I used disposable with my daughter only because i didn't know about reuseable ones atm.

I Used Both Reusable And Disposable. I Produce A Lot Of Milk So There Were Times That I Soaked Through The Reusable Ones But Disposable Ones Made My Nipples Too Moist Sometimes.

Thanks all! Im afraid of losing reusable ones especially being a ftm and ill probably kick  myself if i did haha. Making my own sounds awesome...i never knew people did that!

I've only used reusable ones and I still have the same ones from last pregnancy lol they still look great and I still have new ones from last time that never got used. I also didn't meal very bad. But the reusable are so soft and comfy :-)

You want breast pads that don't have the adhesive on the back, I always had organic cloth reusable, the are breathable, if you get the disposable read to see how well they "breath"
The disposable ones can get pricy over time.

If you look on pinterest there are a ton of cute ways to make your own. I just went today and bought some flannel fabric and am just going to make my own because paying constantly for reusable ones or throw and way kinds is just too much... In the past, I've used the toss away kinds...

I used the disposable pads and had no problems with them. I have been looking into reusable ones this time to save a little money. But I don't know if I'll want to deal with washing and stuff. The disposable are so convenient. Never had any problems with them

I used disposable pads. I never tried reusable so i can't say pros & cons but it worked out fine for me. I have two boys & will be using it again for baby #3.
