The nursing pads are made from natural cotton and natural silk. On average, a woman uses about 3,000 disposable nursing pads. This not only incurs significant costs but also poses a substantial burden on our environment. A sensible alternative is washable nursing pads. The washable soft touch cotton nursing pads are highly absorbent, feature a breathable layer, and are made from natural, unbleached material, which is essential for good reusable breast pads. The washable natural silk nursing pads are the ultimate choice for treating or preventing sore nipples. The natural anti-inflammatory properties of silk soothe and heal sensitive and sore nipples. The thin yet very comfortable fit conforms perfectly to your breasts.
