Anursing mother's friend by Stacy L. Perez  5 Stars
August 27, 2009
The retailer took too long to ship! By the time I received the product, I no longer needed it. Love the product and needed more quickly! Shipping took about a week. The retailer also did not mention the quantity in the pack I would receive. I would have paid a few dollars more from AMEDA and gotten two pairs instead of one. Maybe they would have been used.

Save Your Nipples with These by Kendra E. Williams (Rockville, MD) 5 Stars
July 02, 2009
A lactation consultant gave me a pair of these at the hospital and they helped heal my sore, dry, and cracked nipples. They have a gel that helps heal and they also keep your nipples from rubbing on your clothing. I can't say enough good things about this product and it's totally worth the money (think of what you would be spending on formula if you weren't breast feeding).

An absolute necessity for a nursing mother by S. Huffman 5 Stars
March 31, 2009
With my daughter I had sore, cracked nipples for almost 2 months. If it wasnt for the fact that I was so determined (and stubborn) I would have given up breastfeeding. With baby #2, my worst fear came true. I could feel my nipples cracking the minute he latched on. With both kids, the lactation consultants told me the latch and positioning were correct, and they couldn't see anything wrong. Unfortunately that didnt do much to give me any relief! Luckily the last lactation consultant I saw recommended these and swore that I would be thanking her within days. She was so right! I'm not sure what these things do or how they work, but they gave me immediate relief and have prevented any further damage. I've been wearing them about a week (since my son was born) and they have been a lifesaver. I still have some pain with the initial latch on, but I can tell everything is healing quickly. I bought two pairs and I think after I wear the second ones for a week or so I should be set. I did use these in conjuction with a Medela nipple shield, so I'm sure that helped. It didnt make the process completely pain free, but definitely bearable!

Too expensive for the same product you can get elsewhere by S. MCELVANEY (Austin, TX)  2 Stars
February 10, 2009
These are not much different that Soothies (by Playtex?) and the cost a lot more ($25 for these vs. $15 for the pair of Soothies). They are nice and feel good, but Soothies are more cost-effective. I also like that the Soothies have fabric on one side so you know which side goes on the nipple. These gel pads are sticky on both sides and when I take them out to nurse, they always stick to whatever I set them on.

These are a life saver in those first few months of breastfeeding... by S. Evans 5 Stars
December 08, 2008
My daughter took to nursing like a champ, but like most moms, my nipples were still sore for about a month as they adjusted to this. My lactation consultant recommended these gel pads, they are great! They soothed my nipples and encouraged healing. I also used neosporin on one of my nipples since it cracked, but this contributed to the healing process. I ended up breastfeeding her up to 8 months old when my production took a huge nose dive. Thanks ComfortGel Pads!
