@Aggs how many did you end up using?
I don't think most people leak in pregnancy, since your milk won't come in until a few days after birth. Some people leak colostrum though so see how it goes Post-birth I'm going through a pair a day. You can always buy more so probably just get one or two packs
Yea definitely just grab 1 or 2 packs and see how you get on :)
Varies so much person to person. Pretty much everyone I know didn’t leak at all during pregnancy, whereas I was leaking from around week 20 😅 I’d say just buy one packet and go from there!
I had reusable/washable ones (didnt need them until after baby was born). They were great and so much better for the environment and then you don't need to worry about stocking up, just need one set
I only needed them about 1/2 a week after my baby was born. Highly recommend disposable ones for the first 1-2 months and always in your purse
i hate those things i bought a pack of 100 after birth and they are all over my house now. lol i think bc my boobs are so huge its uncomfortable having another thing in there or maybe i got the wrong kind i dunno
I'm 4 weeks pp and I barely leak, I use one a day just in case and mostly for comfort (if there's a little drop the bra sticks to the nipple). So there isn't an answer, get a pack or two and see what happens, I'm still using the first pack (Boots)
I didn’t use mine until pp when my milk came in
I didn’t leak at all in pregnancy, and haven’t really leaked milk after pregnancy very much either, my baby is 3 months old and I’m solely breastfeeding. The only times I leak is when he’s slept longer in the night. So it really depends on the person, I have 2 boxes of breast pads that I bought beforehand that I haven’t really used!
I didn’t leak through pregnancy, but breastfeeding now and using them consistently
Generally, you don't need them throughout pregnancy. Post partum, in 7months into breastfeeding and use them everyday. I have reusable and disposable ones x
I never needed any because I never leaked. I would wait to see if you need them.
I think everyone is different. I bought a few packs and didn’t need them at all until baby was born.
