disposable or reusable nursing bra pads?

Question

FTM here hoping to breastfeed. Do I really need nursing bra pads? Am I going to be that leaky? And if so do you recommend the washable reusable ones or the disposable ones? Thanks!

Answer

I'm going to try and use washable ones, but I've heard they're not as absorbent. Hoping to cloth diaper and use cloth wipes too.

Answer

You will need them.
I used disposable just to eliminate the extra thing to wash but otherwise can't confirm.

Answer

It's good to get some just in case. Some women barely leak at all and some leak a ton, it depends on your body. Personally I got the reusable ones, but that's mainly because I don't like being wasteful and try to go with reusable options for most things.

Answer

Reusable.  So much more comfortable

Answer

I'm already leaky and I'm still just pregnant. I got both types at my shower from moms who've nurses. They all highly recommend the wool ones to help with mastitis (we live in a cold climate)

Answer

I use the disposable ones by Lansinoh and they last me all day! I leak without them though...like I will drip milk if I don't have them on!

Answer

You may or may not leak but I certainly do! I like the washable ones because I've been leaking colostrum for 20 weeks already and baby is not even here yet and I can't imagine spending so much money on disposable nursing pads for over a year.

Answer

I decided to get disposable ones just to save myself the headache of having something else to wash

Answer

Yes you definitely need those! And I use disposable ones

Answer

Oh yes ! Everytime you have a let down of milk you will get quite wet... I use disposable ones that you find and in any supermarket
