washable nursing pads to protect pregnant moms clothes while breastfeading

3 Layers of Goodness

Each reusable breast pad is made from three action-packed layers. Waterproof PUL (to keep your shirts, sheets, and significant other protected from your “fountains of youth”) + Absorbent Bamboo Terry (to suck in and hold all the leaky goodness) + Wicking Bamboo Poly Mesh on your skin (keeps you fresh and dry as a daisy on a summer’s day).

Low Profile

There may be a lot going on in those layers, but we have worked to keep them slim and lo-pro. Each pad conforms to your breasts and is invisible from the outside. Because visible seams, lumps, or weird points are so pre-Covid.

Double the Fun

Each pack contains 2 pairs of nursing pads. That works out to 4 in total, for those of you who feel like your little one must be sucking out brain cells along with that magical milk at each feeding. I feel you, I counted on my fingers twice to make sure I got these numbers right.

Our washable nursing pads take sticking out of the equation.


Moisture + warmth = a sticky mess.


Cotton breast pads (disposable nipple pads and reusable breast pads) literally glue onto your sensitive skin, which is no fun for you or your nips. Imagine peeling off a cotton breast pad that is stuck to your nipples, especially if they are dry, chapped, or (heaven forbid) cracked 😱. 

Lil Helper nursing pads have a stay-dry, wicking bamboo – a technical material next to your skin, which means that your baby will be the only sticky nightmare you need to worry about.

Breast pads that are actually shaped like, well, breasts


We’ve taken a novel approach to our design.


Why are most breast pads “lumpy and coaster shaped”? Which titan of industry used a dinner plate – flat and round – as a design inspiration for conventional breast pads?

Our nursing pads are soft, concave, seamless on the outside and adapt to the natural curve of your body, gently hugging “the twins” and staying out of sight.

Our reusable breast pads have you covered


Soggy bras are no joke.


The word leaking in any context just denotes something, somewhere went wrong. Our breast pads don’t leak!! The white fabric you see is waterproof PUL that locks in moisture. The thin middle layer of super absorbent bamboo terry will soak in every drop that you leak throughout the day, and the wicking bamboo mesh will keep your breasts feeling dry while evenly dispersing the milk throughout the pad! 

If you’re a “heavy wetter” or need more coverage, our Overnight Breast Pads will be your jam!

Nursing pads as tough as the mamas who wear them


Soft as a feather, constructed like a tank.


Just because our nipple pads look delicate, please don’t treat them with any kind of reverence by hand washing them or cleaning them with the tears of a sloth. Just throw them in the washer with your regular clothes or underwear. These babies were made to last, so you will never have to replace them. Like surviving the apocalypse—last. For real. All that will be left is cockroaches, Cher, and these breast pads.

Leaky babies. Leaky boobs. Do the leaks ever end? In the words of your old Magic 8 Ball, very doubtful. But we’ve got you covered with reusable sanitary products for every age and stage. Create your bundle.

Newbie Guide

Have you decided to invest in reusable breast pads but are unsure how many you need? We got you! To start out, we would say 8 pairs of breast pads and 4 pairs of overnight pads. You may find you need less or more depending on how often you wash or how heavy you leak. However, this is a great starter stash.

Our unique combo of super absorbent bamboo, PUL backing, and especially the bamboo stay dry liner (BDSL)---all of which work to prevent any dreaded crunchiness and prevent the pad from sticking to the nipple. That was the big seller for all of us! 

Our nursing pads are ultra-soft, ultra-absorbent, and can withstand heavier leaks. Great for sensitive skin, our reusable pads are more cost-effective than disposable pads. Feel comfortable, regardless of your cup size.

There isn’t any special care required – because you have better things to do. Throw ‘em in the washer, wash them by hand (I mean, if you wanna), or however else you do laundry. And if you are scared of losing one of your nursing pads in the wash, use one of our small mesh laundry bags to keep them together.
