Irritated, painful, sore, or even inflamed nipples – almost every breastfeeding woman faces these problems, especially in the first few weeks of breastfeeding. Sore nipples have many causes, but incorrect or overly frequent breastfeeding is often the culprit.
Incorrect latching and unlatching of the baby can also cause minor skin injuries, leading to bacterial colonization and infection. In addition to nipple care, it's especially important to use appropriate nursing pads to keep the breast dry and prevent a warm, humid environment that promotes bacterial growth. Good air circulation and relieving pressure on the nipples also aid recovery.
Heavily stressed nipples can regenerate particularly well in direct air. The silk and the special knit of our 2-layer silk-wool nursing pads ensure good air circulation during light to normal milk flow and transport fluid away from the body.
The silver nursing pads have a cooling effect and allow air circulation. They are soft and don't rub against sensitive skin, allowing stressed nipples to recover quickly. The biocidal active ingredient silver (CAS No. 7440-22-4) used in the nursing pads reduces the colonization and proliferation of microorganisms in the pad due to its antibacterial activity and prevents the development of odors.
Our wool pads can be used to cover sore nipples and other sensitive skin areas. These wool pads are cut into squares of ready-to-use, oil-based wool. They are soft, breathable, and discreet.
