LANACare Nursing Pads Are Superior to Cotton or Disposable Pads

• Most people need only 2 - 3 pairs and 1 bottle of Lanolin Soap for the entire nursing period. Economical, in the long run, compared with the repetitive cost of disposables. And environmentally friendly!

• Wool wicks moisture away from your skin, keeping you dry and comfortable, even in warm climates. When the pads do feel wet, they're warm, not cold and clammy as with cotton or disposable pads.

• Your skin is kept dry and able to breathe, allowing sore nipples to heal. Since LANACare pads contain lanolin, use of lanolin ointment is a perfect combination of treatment for sore nipples. Many people have claimed that once they began using these pads, their nipples began to heal and breastfeeding “turned around” for them.

• Scandinavian midwives have, for centuries, advised to keep breasts warm to prevent plugged ducts and mastitis. Larger sizes give protective coverage over greater a portion of the breast.

• With larger sizes, the edge of the pad falls further back on your breast, making pads LESS noticeable through clothing.

• Great, non-medicinal remedy for Raynaud’s/vasospasms! The gentle warmth of the wool keeps blood vessels dilated, preventing the pain and discomfort caused by vasospasms. If using for vasospasm you may be able to size down from the recommendations below, for a size approximating a disposable.

• Natural fibers of wool allow skin to breathe, maintaining a comfortable temperature even in warm climates. Moderates temperature, for comfort even when moving between hot outdoor climates and cold air-conditioned inner climates.

• Variety of sizes and styles to suit each person’s needs!

• Women LOVE these nursing pads – how often do you hear that about a nursing pad??

Guidelines in Sizing

(with understanding that each woman may have individual preferences, so please note the measurements of the size you are considering and compare against your own breast)

• Mini (9 cm - 3 1/2 in.) – recommended most often as additional inner layer for very heavy leaking - if opting for this alone, we recommend size XS.

• X-Small (12 cm - 5 in.)- A or B cup - most comparable in size to disposables, just a tad larger.

• Small (15 cm - 6 in.) - B-DD cup – most commonly recommended size - will give full coverage, yet fit inside most bras.

• Medium (18 cm - 7 in.) - F or larger

• Large (22 cm - 9 in.) and...

• Oval (18 x 27 cm - 7 x 11 in.) - for women who want even more coverage (these are much larger than most people expect, so please check measurements before ordering!)

Many people who choose size Large opt for the Oval shaped pads, which follow the shape of your breast and bra more closely. Choice depends upon where you want more coverage.

Oval - intended for folks with repetitive plugged ducts in area of armpit.

To be certain the size you order is what you'd like, please note the measurements of each pad size and gauge against your breast/bra. Certain bra styles may work best with the smaller sizes.
