Disposable breast pad comparison

This is a comparison among 3 brands of disposable breast pads - Pigeon, Autumnz and Lacte.





My CONCLUSION is unless Pigeon is on offer (RM30 for 72pcs), Lacte deluxe pads are just as good (RM16.90 for 36pcs).

But I definitely WILL NOT buy again Autumnz (RM15.90 for 30pcs) because not only is the material coarser, the adhesive left a sticky feeling on the fingers. A definite no-no for me.



PACKING
Both Autumnz and Lacte come in plastic wrapping. Pigeon's wrapped with thin cotton sheet.



SHAPE
Both Pigeon and Lacte are almost flat.



Autumnz is contoured like alphabet C which is shaped like the breast - Which is supposed to be fantastic but somehow it made the pad more uncomfortable especially when your breasts are engorged.


Possibly due to the fact that this design made the pad rigid and not soft to gently cup / cover the breast.



ALTERNATIVES to disposable breast pads:-
Using disposable breast pads are not cheap considering a normal Pigeon price will cost rm1 a piece - thus rm2 for both sides.

Even babies diapers which have more features and are bigger in size only cost maximum rm0.70 apiece.

So I read somewhere in the internet that a person tried to take panty liners and cut it in half.

I actually went and tried it but I have to make sure to seal the open end with tape. It did worked (especially if you dont leak a lot) but you might get some cotton on the breast if you did not seal off the cut end properly :p

But recently I found out the reason for the high price when I accidentally soaked the breast pad - the pad became jelly like inside and expanded - meaning the pad is filled with special gel like diapers and not just cotton or fiber like panty liners! Ta-DAA!

So for convenience and the fact that Lacte disposable breast pads are reasonably priced, I will just stick to using disposable breast pads and leave the panty liners alone :D
