AI summary of customer 72 reviews

The hydrogel pads provide instant cooling relief and promote faster healing for cracked, sore, and sensitive nipples. Reviewers describe the pads as soft, flexible, and discreet, allowing comfortable wear under clothing. The pads can be reused for up to 24 hours, making them a practical option. While some note the need to remove them before feeding, the majority find the pads to be an essential product for soothing and healing sore nipples during the early stages of breastfeeding.

    Love it

    by

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Medela Hydrogel Pads were incredibly soothing during the early stages of breastfeeding. They provided a cooling, comforting sensation that helped ease soreness and discomfort between feeds. I loved how gentle they felt on sensitive skin and how easy they were to use. They gave me much-needed relief and helped make my breastfeeding journey more comfortable during those challenging first weeks.

    Awesome!!

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Newborn and I are at the start of our breast feeding journey and still working on latch. I initially tried lanolin but found it messy and sticky, and little one didn't seem to like it. I much prefer these pads - there is a lovely cooling sensation and they prevent rubbing from clothes. The downside is you have to wash before feeding and so you have to plan ahead if little one tends to be expensive. They are also expensive as you can only use them for 24 hours. I have bought a couple of extra packs in the hope that a few days will be all that I nee

    Instant soothing relief

    by

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly didn’t expect such quick relief, but these pads were a lifesaver. The cooling sensation is instant and so soothing, especially in the first days of breastfeeding when everything feels sore and sensitive. They cling well without feeling sticky, and they give this soft, protective cushion that really helped my healing.

    by

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used these once after my son decided to bite my nipple and it was extremely sore but I have to say these didn’t really soothe it much, I absolutely felt the soothing feeling and can see how they would soothe sore nipple but I think possibly my soreness was in an area that the pad couldn’t reach. They stick really really well and are very strong and I would highly recommend for cracked or sore nipple because the cooling effect was there and 10/10 for comfort too

    Great hydrogel pads

    by

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The pads are hydrogel, easy to apply to the sore spot, big enough. They are also reusable, they can be applied up to 24 hours after the first application. Their main advantage is moisturising and soothing injured areas between feedings. The pads have cooling properties and create a kind of protective layer on the breast.

    😲The Relief I Didn't Know I Needed 😲

    by

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I honestly don’t know how I would’ve gotten through the first couple of weeks of breastfeeding without the Medela Hydrogel Pads. My nipples were so sore and cracked from cluster feeding, and every latch felt like fire. I was desperate for some relief, and these little pads were exactly what I needed. The first time I put them on, it was instant cooling relief. Seriously, it felt like my poor skin could finally breathe again. They’re super easy to use you just pop them inside your bra and they stay put. I love that they’re reusable for up to 24 hours.
