Frequently Asked Questions:
· Do they come in different sizes?
They come in a regular size: diameter of 11cm. (This gives good coverage of the nipple area and is roughly the same diameter of a disposable breast pad.)
- What side is the outer water proof layer?
The coloured with nodes side is the outer layer.
· How many do I need?
It is a good idea to have more than one. Most people buy five, so if you’ve got some in the wash you have some clean to use. If you struggle at night with leakage, I would suggest getting either the Super Soaker or the Ultimate Night Pad.
· How much money will I save?
At a cost of around a dollar a pair of disposables you could save hundreds of dollars!! Well worth the small investment.
· How absorbent are they?
Mircofibre is super thirsty, each regular pad can hold 10mls (roughly a tablespoon) of milk. You will know when to change your pad as it will start to feel heavy. Super Soakers hold around double that amount. For the ultimate absorbency try the Ultimate Night Pad these have a top layer of microfibre and under that is 2 layers of Bamboo Fleece. The fibers of the bamboo fluff up and work the best after the initial 3-4th hot wash. These Milk Pads hold the most amount of milk - (30mls ea pad)!! - For more info please read the feedback page and product description.
· How many washes will they last for?
The fabric is top quality and has been tested to last for hundreds of washes.
Washing instructions:
Tip - To avoid loosing your Milk Pads in the washing machine, put them in a washing bag- (what you put your bras in ).
Regular hot washes are recommended for hygiene reasons. If you’re not doing a load for a while: rinse them and pop them in container with hot water, a tea spoon of baking soda and a tea spoon of white vinegar—dissolved in the hot water ( that will prevent any nasty's growing). Milk Pads can be Washed, Hot, Warm or cold. Use Eco washing products that will sanitize. Tumble dry is fine. Line dry in the sun is best. DON NOT BLEACH! Bleaching will destroy the water proof layer.
P.N - A copy of these washing instructions comes with every sale.
