Questions & Tips

Here you will find all the information and answers to your questions about our products.
What is the benefit of the silver side of the nursing pad? Plus
In the warm, humid environment inside nursing pads, bacteria can grow and reach the breast. Colonization of the skin with bacteria can cause itching, breast inflammation, and mastitis. Especially in warm temperatures, the bacteria can also cause an unpleasant, rancid odor. The biocidal active ingredient silver (CAS No. 7440-22-4) reduces the colonization and proliferation of microorganisms in the nursing pad due to its antibacterial activity and prevents the development of odor.
What are the benefits of the wool side of the nursing pad? Plus
Wool and lyocell are natural yarns that absorb and retain fluid very well. This keeps breasts and clothing dry.
Do the nursing pads need to be washed before first use? Plus
For hygiene reasons, we recommend washing the nursing pads after purchase. All information on cleaning can be found here: Materials & Cleaning.
How often should you change or wash your nursing pads? Plus
Nursing pads should be changed when they are saturated. They should be washed after each use.
Are the washable nursing pads suitable for washing machines or dryers? Plus
No! The nursing pads are made of wool and should therefore only be hand-washed and air-dried. All cleaning information can be found here: Material & Cleaning.
Can nursing pads stay in your bra while sleeping? Plus
Yes, the soft nursing pads are particularly comfortable to wear, even at night.
