I Suppose They Could Have Alternative Uses
For any of you who follow my blog, you have been made all too aware of my breast troubles since giving birth. I’ve moaned about their size, the bleeding nipples, and the leaking breastmilk. Due to this milk flow issue, I have been in desperate need of comfortable and absorbent breast pads.
When nursing my first child, I had great success with Gerber brand Ultra Thin Breast Pads. Unfortunately, my local Wal-Mart no longer sells these. Being a fan of the Gerber brand, I decided to try out their Contoured Nursing Pads. To say I’m not a fan of these breast pads is an understatement.
I truly despise these breast pads. Sure, they are absorbent. They are large enough to cover my ample bosoms. They do not contain any plastic, which can delay the healing of tender nips. They also have an adhesive backing for those that like that sort of thing (I, personally am in the no-adhesive camp myself).
The problem? Oh my gawd, they make me itch in the worst kind of way. The pad has this mesh sort of cover over the cotton part which is very itchy. There is some sort of papery backing on the pad, whose edges dig straight into your flesh. Sounds comfortable, huh? Yeah, not so much.
I have most of a box remaining and I’m not sure what to do with them, for I hate to see things go to waste. These pads might possibly work as sponges, cleaning up breast milk spills on the couch. Maybe I could use them as my fancy coasters when I have guests over. I suppose it is possible that they could be used as a yamaka, however we are not Jewish.
Well, at least my $5.27 for the 36 count box won’t go to complete waste. These itchy pads can be purchased at most discount stores and Babies ‘R Us.
