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 breast pad? Plus
In the warm, moist climate inside breast pads, bacteria can form and get onto the breast. The colonization of the skin with bacteria can lead to itching, inflammation of the breast, and mastitis. Especially in warm temperatures, bacteria can also produce an unpleasant, rancid odor. The biocidal active ingredient silver (CAS No. 7440-22-4) reduces the colonization and multiplication of microorganisms in the breast pad and prevents odor development due to its antibacterial activity.
What is the benefit of the wool side of the breast pad? Plus
Wool and Lyocell are yarns that absorb and store liquid very well, keeping breasts and clothing dry.
Do the breast pads need to be washed before first use? Plus
For hygienic reasons, we recommend washing the breast pads after purchase. All information on cleaning can be found here: Material & Cleaning.
How often should breast pads be changed or washed? Plus
Breast pads should be changed when they are saturated. They should be washed after each use.
Are the washable breast pads suitable for the washing machine or dryer? Plus
No! The breast pads are made of wool and therefore may only be hand washed and air-dried. All information on cleaning can be found here: Material & Cleaning.
Can the breast pads stay in the bra while sleeping? Plus
Yes, the soft breast pads are particularly comfortable to wear, even at night.
