3. LilyPadzยฎ Reuseable Nursing Pads
LilyPadz are a unique, patented nursing pad that is made out of silicone and is so thin, you’ll forget you are wearing it. Unlike most nursing pads that absorb breastmilk leaks, the LilyPadzยฎ maintain pressure on the nipple which forms a non-absorbent barrier that actually PREVENTS leaks before they even start. No more getting cotton pads stuck to your tender nipples! These are a must-have for all moms, especially if you are lucky enough to get a Nuroo! (See #4)
