No more inconvenient pad exchanges, and both you and your clothes stay dry!
LilyPadz are:
LilyPadz are the revolutionary alternative to traditional nursing pads combining such unique features as flexibility, breathability, invisibility, and "sticks-to-your-ability" to provide the kind of protection every expectant and nursing mother needs.
Whether or not you breastfeed your baby, inconvenient, leaky and let's admit it, "obvious" nursing pads are the last thing you want to worry about during and after your pregnancy. The special soft, flexible and non-absorbent material in Lily Padz conforms to your breast for a secure fit, allowing you to wear whatever you like with confidence.
Now that you have a choice...
Say goodbye to uncomfortable, unreliable and unattractive nursing bras and pads!
How do LilyPadz work?
LilyPadz® apply a gentle pressure on the nipple to stop breast milk leakage while they are properly in place. Nursing moms have used their fingers for years to apply this pressure during letdown. LilyPadz® utilize this principle...hands free.
How do LilyPadz stay in place?
LilyPadz® have a unique and tacky lining so they adhere gently to your skin without the use of any adhesives.
Will the special lining wear out?
Unlike adhesives that wash away, the tacky lining of LilyPadz is renewed with washing. Wash only with oil free, cream free, and lotion free cleansers. Clarifying shampoos and dish soaps dislodged oils best. Rinse well, shake off the excess water and only air dry in a clean, dust free environment. DO NOT blot dry with a towel. One pair of LilyPadz can last up to 2 months with proper care.
How many pairs will I need?
Because Lily Padz are not absorbent and work to prevent the leak, there are never saturated pads to exchange. And unlike other reusables, there is no downtime in the laundry either. Washing takes only a few minutes per day and that one pair of LilyPadz® is ready to go again - that's why we call them continuously usable instead of reusable! So one pair is enough to last most moms for up to 2 months, although some like the peace of mind of having a spare.
LilyPadz look like plastic, are they comfortable?
Because Lily Padz are made of thin, soft, flexible and breathable silicone they are like a second skin. They protect the nipple from excess moisture, rubbing and sticking as is commonly experienced with cotton pads. Most moms claim they forget they are wearing them.
What are LilyPadz made of?
Lily Padz are manufactured from medical grade silicone rubber compounds.
Can I sterilize my LilyPadz?
Yes, Lily Padz can be disinfected by placing them in boiling water for 1 to 2 minutes but repeated disinfecting by boiling will shorten the life of the tacky surface. They can also be disinfected by soaking in a 50/50 white vinegar/water solution for one hour followed by thoroughly washing with soap and rinsed well with warm water.
Can I swim while wearing my LilyPadz?
Yes
LilyPadz® must be applied when dry and to dry skin but once they are in place water does not penetrate them and cause them to fall off. So your LilyPadz® are effective as you go from dry to wet to dry again and again.
What if I perspire under my LilyPadz?
Lily Padz are composed of gas permeable silicone allowing them to breathe. Although Lily Padz should not cause you to perspire, should you work up a sweat you will perspire under your LilyPadz® as well. The build up of sweat can dislodge your LilyPadz® so we recommend that they be worn with support in these situations. And any moisture under your LilyPadz® should be dabbed up as soon as possible to maintain good tissue health.
I don't plan on nursing; can I continue to wear LilyPadz as my milk dries up?
Yes, Lily Padz can be worn continuously without feeding or expressing milk. You may experience some discomfort initially as with any weaning situation, but this zero demand triggers your body to regulate its milk supply down and eventually dry up.
