Rite Aid Hydrogel Gel Breast Discs (x12) - Helps Heal Cracked Sore Nipples in Breastfeeding

I was determined to try and breastfeed my second child but the pain and soreness was so bad. I was recommended these lovely little gel pads by a friend, I kept them in the fridge so they were nice and cool and popped them on between feeds. They really helped with the soreness pain and I think they helped the cuts to repair too. I would honestly not have been able to persevere through breast feeding pain without these little life savers. If your thinking of breastfeeding I would buy these and have them ready to use before you get sore painful nipples from those first feeds. As you use them quite often they do last well but could be a bit more affordable as they are a bit expensive. I found these better than nipple cream as that was quite messy between feeds. These are so easy and clean to pop in and out.

I was sceptical especially as these are quite expensive but truly - in the first 4 weeks whilst babies latch was bad and we were waiting for tongue tie division and nipples were in shreds, ordered these and they literally just about kept my nipples healed enough to still be able to feed my baby.Without these, truly I may have given up… they’re soothing and cooling, stop things sticking to sore cracked nipples, and the moistness seems to help slightly heal nipples between feeds which allowed me to carry on.Thank you thank you thank you.If you’re hesitating - I promise for me; they were 100% worth it. So grateful that it saved our journey.

Ended up with sore nips whilst optimising newborns latch.I’ve tried the purple nip cream and found it sits on the surface, not absorbed and greasy. Sliver nipple cups left me feeling a bit soggy and moist, a bit like being in the bath too long!These seem to provide the optimal moist but not dry environment. Healed my sore nips in a few days. Would highly recommend, they did have a strong sort of chemically smell though.

The pads are fantastic if you have sore nipples from breastfeeding. I was constantly reopening wounds every time I fed the baby as I peeled off a breast pad but these don't stick to wounds so really helped with pain and healing.Only downside is the very industrial smell. I think it really confused my baby and I ended up having to wash a bit before every feed or I smelt like a plastics factory.Another reviewer mentioned cutting them in half to make them last longer which I did. They were still big enough to cover the wounded area.

I can't recommend this product highly enough. Initially I was sceptical when I was recommended it due to the price but my nipples were in such a state that I couldn't feed or pump for my baby I thought it was worth a try. Within 4 hours of initially putting the pads on I was able to pump with minimal pain, by 18hrs I had my daughter back to the breast. I thought the damage would have taken days upon days to heal but with these pads it really did speed things up! I would and will recommended these to anyone who has trauma to nipples caused by breastfeeding, they have honestly saved my breastfeeding journey! Lovely and cooling effect when initially applied, I have also out them in the fridge for extra coolness when changing the pad. Only started using them less than 48hrs ago and will probably completely stop tomorrow unless any further damage is done. If you have sore, cracked nipples take the change and order them!

These really helped my blistered/cracked nipples heal quickly - better within just a few hours and healed within a day or two. They were recommended to me by a midwife/ICBLC consultant. Each one can be used for 24 hours and as you get 12 in the pack they are much better value than the lansinoh soothies and work just as well. I also preferred them to the multi man compresses which I found a bit messy (I have tried everything obviously!). Also check out breast shells if you’re struggling as they help the air get to your nipples. I alternated between shells and these at each feed, using one gel pad alternating on each side for 24 hours. Good luck!

These hydrogel pads have been really useful in helping soothe and heal sore nipples. However, I have had a few in a pack that have no gel part so can’t be used. Unfortunately no option to report as faulty via Amazon which is disappointing.

Very cooling on nipples...but they smell so strong of heavy chemicals. Not sure if they are safe for baby to feed following use.Smell remains on nipple despite washing off. Pretty disappointed.

They do not adhere even a little to the skin and do not stay in place. They have a very strong chemical smell. I wish I had never bought.

These things smell TERRIBLE and don’t stay put well, even under a bra. I would definitely pay more for the medela brand which doesn’t have the stench and has a better shape to stay in place.

Arrivati nei tempi, usati poco, non ho trovato miglioramenti così evidenti.Forse per dolore moderato avranno una maggior efficacia

Très bon produit, qui dans le cas de crevasses aidé énormément en permettant de conserver le mamelon en milieu humide, ce qui promet de ne pas faire davantage craquer la peau. Je les trouve mieux que la marque Medela qui avec les fuites de lait, se tordent et gonflent. Avec cette marque les patchs restent comme lorsqu'on les déballe.Le seul bémol à mon sens c'est qu'ils ne permettent pas d'être coupés comme la marque medela, donc on est obligé d'utiliser le patch en entier (mais comme on le conserve plusieurs jours...).Donc très satisfaite. Je n'en ai d'ailleurs plus besoin, plus de crevasses, ça y est !Ps j'ai conbiné les patchs avec vea olio

Solo se quedan adheridos la primera vez q lis usas pero si los sostienes con el sujetador los puedes usar varias veces, yo le pongo un poco de purelan y me van muy bien.
