Why cotton and wool?

Most reusable breast pads on the NZ market use bamboo or microfibre. We chose natural wool because it's naturally antibacterial, wicks moisture away from skin without feeling damp, and is gentle on sore, healing nipples. The organic cotton outer keeps things soft and breathable against your skin — no synthetic backings, no plastic, no irritation.

What's included

  • Starter Pair — one pair of pads, ideal for trying or topping up an existing set.
  • Full Set — three pairs plus a cotton wash bag. Save $9.80 vs buying three Starter Pairs separately. The right number for daily rotation while one set is in the wash.

How to care for them

Pop into the wash bag and machine wash cool (30°C) with your normal laundry. Line dry. Avoid fabric softener — it reduces absorbency over time. With gentle care these pads will see you through your full breastfeeding journey.

Reusable vs disposable breast pads

The average breastfeeding mum gets through hundreds of disposable pads. Switching to reusables saves money over the year, keeps single-use plastics out of NZ landfills, and lets your skin breathe — particularly important if you're using nipple butter to support healing in those early weeks.

Pair with our Organic Nipple Butter — most mums use both together in those tender first weeks.

Breast pad FAQs

Are these breast pads washable?

Yes — pop them in the wash bag and machine wash cool (30°C) with your normal laundry, then line dry. Built to last your whole breastfeeding journey.

Can I wear them overnight?

In our own overnight testing, the highly absorbent natural wool inner held through the night with no leaks. Every mum's flow is different — on heavier days you may want a fresh pair — but they're trusted for long stretches and overnight wear.

What are they made of?

A breathable organic cotton outer and a highly absorbent natural wool inner — no bamboo, no microfibre, no synthetic backings. Just soft, natural materials that are gentle on sore, healing nipples.
