These comfortable, and environmentally friendly breast pads are a great alternative to disposables. There are four layers a lace layer which keeps the pad in place, a separation layer, the absorbent layer and the soft inner layer against your skin. Unlike some other washable pads on the market, these are gently contoured to make them comfy to wear, and almost invisible once under clothing. The contouring also makes sure there is even less chance of any leaks as the pad 'hugs' the nipple area.
