Nursing pads
Bamboobies Washable Nursing Pads
Our take
Soft, thin washable pads that BabyGearLab scored highest for comfort. They hold the least of the leading pads, so they suit light leakers or daytime; a bulkier overnight version exists.
Bamboo rayon velour liningMachine washable and dryer-safeRegular and overnight versions
Consider instead: Lansinoh Stay Dry for heavy leaks.
