Our Analysis

Bamboobies protects clothing from leakage while soothing sore nipples. These washable bamboo nursing pads are free of Super Absorbent Polymer, SAP, common in throwaway pads and disposable diapers. The variety pack includes three pairs of ultra-thin, heart-shaped, daytime use pads and three sets of thick, circular pads for overnight use. However, if you are a heavy leaker, you may need to stock up on the thicker night pads for daytime use. Did we mention they are super soft? They are fabricated of bamboo rayon velour and have an inner absorbent cotton core. Wash with cold water and completely dry fabric with a low heat setting. Do not use fabric softeners as this can affect absorbency. If discoloration appears, Bamboobies recommends using a mild bleach solution.
