Cheap breast pads please

bylromarha

Having just had my second baby, I am now in the realms of breastpad expenditure.

Whilst feeding my first, I tried 3 different brands of washable breast pads and didn't get on with any of them due to one reason or another, so am sticking with disposables.

So, where are they going to cost me the least please? Any good websites/companies that you know about?

Thanks

I think ASDA or Tesco would be the best to go to, as they are very cheap and do the job fine:)

Last time round, Tesco were more expensive than Mothercare, which shocked me!

So until Tesco Value breastpads appear, they aren't as cheap as you'd expect them to be, sad to say.

The pound shop do a box of 30... for a pound!!

aarghh

Hi,

Boots do a box of 100 for £4.75 (5 pence each)

Asda do 40 for 1.93 (5 pence each)

Mothercare do 100 for 4.50 (5 pence each)

Tesco do 80 for 3.99 (5 pence each)

If you buy the Tommee Tippee ones by Tuesday from Tesco they are on BOGOF so work out 100 for £4.99 (5 pence each)

As you can see they all rounded off to costing 5 p each so i would say buy from wheers most convenient. I've bought the ones in the pound shop before which worl out marginally cheaper but my store only seem to have them in every now and again and only a couple of packets if that.

Hiya,
boots have 20% off breast pads at the moment. I also find Wilkinsons cheap for pads.

Gosh - 5p each - that seems a lot. I went through 1000's when feeding my 2!

I used Lansinoh ones which were pretty expensive but they have stuff inside them that stops your boobs from going all soggy and they don't leak through your tops leaving you with those large, embarrasing wet patches

I think I saved on them because I didn't have to keep changing them every hour or so.


AND>>>>>>>> Buy some breast shells so that you can freeze the milk you're leaking instead of wasting it.

I love boots the best, so stick to them now.. They're tried and tested.

Also, you get boots points, so will end up with a free pack sooner or later.

I tried so many different types and the Lansinoh disposible ones were the only ones for me.

The others would either get really soggy and leak, or they would be like sandpaper!

Have you tried Lilypadz?

they're expensive (approx £15) but you'll only need one pair as they're reusable. They're made of some kind of silicone plasticy stuff and stick themselves to your skin. They don't abosrb the milk, but press down on the breast to stop it leaking in the first place.

I tried them in desparation as with dd3 at one year old I was still leaking regularly and was fed up with the wet patches! the lilypadz have virtually stopped all my leaks (only ever leak now if I miss a few feeds and then leak from the other boob while feeding).

I thought they sounded nasty and sweaty, but they're not. They're thin, so much more discrete under summer clothes Also they don't itch like the disposable pads and you don't need to wash them in the machine, just wash with little soap and water every morning

Will stop now as I sound like an advert
