Pigeon Premium

Super soft & great shape but difficult to find – I've tried a lot of brands of breast pads, but these are the softest (not itchy) I've found & the molded shape meant that they weren't visible, giving me the comfort I needed when I needed it. Unfortunately, I have searched high & low for them in various supermarkets & pharmacies but have not been able to find them since.

Never leak and the best in the market – I have tried few brands from the cheapest one to the most expensive one. Pigeon always give me the best result. With pigeon, during "let down" it really absorbs the breast milk. Never leak and when it dried, the pad didn't stick on the breast. With double sticker, it makes sure, the pad is on it's position all the time.

Pretty good but had a few blow outs – I bought these on special at the supermarket, they were pretty good. I like the shape and how they feel but i did have a few big blow outs. Bubby sleeps through so they tend to fill up pretty quick. Maybe if they were a bit bigger i wouldn't have that problem.

Try the other style of pigeon breast pads – Yes I agree that these are not great but Pigeon sells another style called "Ultra-slim Breast pads that come in a 24 pack which only have one adhesive strip. They are much better than this style being reviewed here. They don't bunch up, are super thin yet really absorbant, very discreet under tight tops and are individually wrapped for better hygiene. Well worth a try....5 stars. Thin, hygienic, absorbant, secure

OK – Overall they are an ok pad, however if you have large breast (F cups for me), the pads are really obvious and make your breast look a funny shape. I far prefer and now exclusively use the Pigeon Ultra Thin which seem to be superior to me. The Pigeon Premium pads have good absorbancy and are soft on the nipples. They are far too thick, and even… Read more

for someone like me who over-produced milk like crazy, it was unnecessary. They are not always easy to find in the supermarket unlike some of the other products/ brands. They can be obvious you are wearing them.

OK – I found these premium pads were not as good for me as the pigeon ultra thin. I found them to be too thick, and not suitable to wear to work as I wear a white polo shirt. Not too bad overall, but being premium, I think they could be improved. These breast pads are great for people who have quite a lot of leakage. They are really absorbant and are… Read more

comfortable to wear. They have two sticky places on them so that they don't move around a lot inside yor bra. These are quite thick, so if you are wearing a thin bra with not much padding, it can be quite obvious underneath.

The best! – I have tried so many different breast pad brands, and the Pigeon brand is by far my favourite. The pads stick, they’re absorbent, they’re soft and very comfortable. They shape well to the chest, too. I even like the packaging - it’s also soft and really easy to open, especially when you’re in a rush or only have one hand free!

Every Breastfeeding mother's friend – I have a huge problem with milk stains on my shirt while breastfeeding my son. I was not aware of breast pads before. LOL. I would stop myself going out of the house because of this. Then a friend came by and gifted me with this product, and I never looked back ever since. Super absorbent, very convenient to use and soft and comfortable to use. Definitely, recommends to anyone who's going through breast feeding journey.

By far my favorite – Comfortable, super absorbent and little to no odour. May not be the cheapest on the market but you certainly get what you pay for! No skin reactions and has never shown sign of leakage! You can go all day feeling fresh. Quality product by a reliable brand. Used the regular pads 11 years ago and these are a marked improvement!

Very good – I would really recommend these breast pads highly, having been through a few other brands already. These fit really nicely and would seem to me to be the most absorbent. They are priced at the higher end but it is well worth that extra little bit. Very happy with them. super absorbent pricey

The best there is in leakage :) – I definitely recommend Pigeon over any other breast pad..It is super absorbent and gives you confidence that it wont overflow. A must buy!!!! Worth the extra $. Great absorption, soft and great mould to breast More expensive than other

Excellent – Very easy to apply and are comfortable to wear, I would reccommend this product. They absorb alot of milk and makes you feel confidant you won't wet your shirt. They stick onto your bra really well, They are very absorbent and mask any smells Would be great if they came in a really large box

By far the best disposable breast pads – Have tried so many different breast pads in the last couple of months (Johnsons & Johnsons, Pigeon NURSING pads, Swisspers, Rite Aid) and the Pigeon Premium Breast Pads are by far the most comfortable and aborbent. They are super soft against the skin, don't pill (unlike the J&J's and my baby was getting cotton fluff in her mouth) and so… Read more

absorbent. Yes they are more expensive but are well worth it. I found they are cheapest online either from Chemist Warehouse or when Baby Village have a sale and I stock up. They are harder to find in stores and chemists especially as they are sometimes called "Premium Breast Pads" or "Dispoable Breast Pads". Just look for the 3D countouring shape on the box and you know you have the right ones.

Won't use any other breast pads, especially when I leak so much! Super soft, absorbent and doesn't irritate my skin More expensive but worth it, harder to find in store, labelling on box isn't always the same

Good – These are the best breast pads I've used on the market, at a good price. No fussing with washing and no leaks. They are also very comfortable, although if you have really sore raw nipples, I'd recommended using the avent washable ones as often as necessary until the soreness settles, even though the washable aren't as absorbent. Very very… Read more

absorbent, no leaks. Comfortable to use and hygienic. Affordable and good quality. trimming/border is a little wide and I often trim these off to fit into my bra a little better as I was only a B cup.

The best! – Being large busted I tried many breast pads that were too small & could not adsorb the volume of leakage I was having. Except for these, they were the only breast pad I could use that allowed me to know I was not going to leak in public & would take all the leakage from an extended sleep..The only downside is they are a little on the expensive… Read more

side however using less of them due to quality & absorbency then other cheaper brands, the cost was comparative. Absorbent, good adhesive, larger size & fantastic quality. A little costly compared with others.

Excellent – These are fabulous breast pads - I have tried almost every brand available and nothing compares to Pigeon Premium. While it is somewhat annoying having to unwrap each individual breast pad, this is useful when you are out and about as it ensures that they are kept clean and hygienic in the nappy bag. The sticky tapes on the back ensure that the… Read more

pad stays exactly where it is put. Milk does not leak through, even when the pad is very full. They are more costly than other breast pads, but worth it if you need a breast pad to absorb leaking milk. Very absorbent, stay in place, thin but extremely effective. They are quite pricey.

Excellent – I have used these for both of my children. They are more expensive then other breast pads, but are definitely worth it. I only had to change them once a day (twice if I had major leakage). But overall would definitely recommend. - Comfortable - Soft - Hygenic seperate packaging - Thick and absorbent - Sticks very well for a long time - Cost

Excellent – I found these to be the best disposable breast pads on the market. Although they are more expensive than the others I found that they only needed changing once a day, whereas others I had to change every hour or two. Slim line and they stayed in place. I often just placed them on my breast without using the sticky pieces and they stayed in place… Read more

and were easy to remove during breastfeeding. They have by far the best absorbency of any of the other breast pads on the market, and they didn't smell after you had been wearing them a few hours like other brands. More expensive than other brands, however this was more than adequately made up for in quality.

Good – I think this is the best breast pad as it is both slim & soft. The double tape definitely helps to keep it in place. The individual wrapping also keeps them hygenic. Whilst more expensive than other breast pads it is definitely worth it. Slim and soft Double tape adhesive Can get a bit scrunchy on the sides

Good – i have also tried the slim pigeon ones, but feel these are a lot more comfortable. i find they also fit well. i have found it hard to find decent breast pads to fit properly. i'm a 14DD. i would like to find a washable pair but can't find anything big enough! double tape strips are great to keep it in place. sit well & comfortable. seems a… Read more

touch bulky although i'm sure this may become a pro when my milk comes through. just leaking a little now at 28 weeks pregnant.

Good – I leaked a lot when breastfeeding and needed to wear breastpads until I weaned. I loved the Pigeon premium breastpads and they were so absorbent, especially during the let down. I felt that I needed to the 2 pieces of adhesive to hold them in place or else they would move around and look lumpy under my bra. Once I started using Pigeon Premium I… Read more

didn't go back to another brand as they just didn't compare and were worth the money. 2 sections of tape help hold them in place

Very absorbent They can scrunch up and look lumpy under your bra

Good – I breast fed my boy for ten months, then he decided he was no longer interested. For the duration of breast feeding I was always leaky during the let down so I had to wear breast pads all the time. These ones were great for allowing me to feed him without ending up with a milky wet outfit. These are my preferred brand of breast pads. They are… Read more

very absorbent and comfortable to wear. I have found that with lighter coloured tight clothing they can be seen through the fabric. This is more from their shape and thickness than the colour of them. I am yet to find a breast pad that doesn't have this issue though.

Excellent – I wear these at night time and they are great. I would wear them in the day time, but I wear a lot of tighter fitting shirts and you can see them too easily. Great size for night time use. Best absorbency of any I have tried and are very comfortable. Can be a bit bulky and noticeable when wearing tighter clothing.

Good – I have tried these and the Rite Aid brand of breast pads and there is not much difference between the two. The Pigeon brand does seem to feel a bit softer to the touch, but once you are wearing them it makes no difference. I now only buy the Rite Aid brand, simply because they are cheaper. Soft and thin. Never had a leak. Invisible under clothes.… Read more

Much more expensive than other brands, and there is less in the pack.

There is only a thin sticky strip holding it in place and it tends to slip around in your bra. Becomes sweaty to wear on hot days because of the plastic backing.

Excellent – Pigeon Premum does a very good job, it's very absorbent & comfortable and it last the whole day. The size is not too small so it works through night too. I personally use the Pigeon Ultra Slim ones coz they are a lot cheaper (you can get bulk packs in Roy Young Chemist) but if you leak a lot then Pigeon Premium is the best! I also tried Avent &… Read more

Johnson, I think they are good but the actual size is a bit small so it's hard to keep them in place throughout the night. Very absorbent, good size not too small expensive

Good – A great reliable breast pad. The self adhesive strip on the back ensures that they stay in place in your bra. The pads are so absorbent, that sometimes it is difficult to tell if any leakage has occured. I tend to try and buy them when they are on special, because they can be a bit pricey. Pigeon is a well known name, so I knew that the breast… Read more

pads would be reliable. I never had any problems with leaking while using these pads. The pads are folded in half when packaged, and occasionally the fold line could be a bit bulky, and wouldn't sit right in my bra. Apart from that, they were great.

Good – This product allowed me to feel comfortable in the early days of breastfeeding. I didn't use them long because I did not leak but I found them useful to use to protect my bras from the nipple cream stains. These were highly recommended by a friend and I recommended them to new mums too. Just don't go silly stocking up on huge amounts before bub is… Read more

born, you may not need that many. Thick and absorbent breast pads. Individually wrapped. Have a strong sticky packing to keep them in place. They are quite thick and can be seen through tight fitting shirts. The individual packaging seems wasteful, they should at least be packaged in pairs.

Excellent – I like that Pigeon has two sticky strips to hold onto clothes better. They dont let me down at all. I drive quite far to buy them as they are not sold in our local shops. Love these, I feel safe to go out in public while breastfeeding with these. Dont have any

Good – These are my favourite breast pads. They are so very absorbant and they do not stick to the nipple as some breast pads seem to (OUCH!) They are available at Big W and chemists in my area. It is much cheaper to purchase them from big w at the moment. They do not seem scented and they do not irritate my skin. Really keep me dry and help prevent… Read more

nipple damage. These breast pads are great. They are very very absorbant and do not stick like some do. The seem to be available from chemists and big w They are a bit bulky but they are so absorbant.

Good – I loved these in the beginning as I am a huge leaker in the early days. However they are pretty bulky. And it is a catch 22 while they do hold lots of milk you also can't afford to leave a damp breast pad on, especially in the early days so in some ways a less absorbent breast pad is good. But I didn't find they leaked onto clothes which is… Read more

great as who needs any extra washing with a new baby around. Especially in the early days when there is milk EVERYWHERE great Pretty bulky in your bra

Excellent – These are my favourite breast pads just because of the comfort factor. Some of the other brand pads are scratchy and that really hurts my cracked nipples. They aren't exactly cheap but since they hold alot of milk you won't change them as often as other brands. They are really absorbant, super soft material are great on the nipples (which is… Read more

very important those first few days) they are a great shape for my E cup breasts. They are abit bulky. I have to go to Big W to buy them because they are hard to find in supermarkets and are way overpriced in chemists.

Excellent – So far, so good! Really, the 'cons' are worth it for a breast pad that does the job so well. I remember most of the ones that I tried with my first child frustrated me for some reason or another. This time around, I've been using these and haven't had any problems. I've never had a problem with them showing through my shirt, but I usually wear… Read more

quite thick bras and shirts, so that could be why. They stop me from leaking out, they stay in place, they're comfortable. I find the individual packaging quite annoying. After putting them on, I have to traipse over to the bin to dispose of the rubbish ... which I know sounds ridiculous but when you're always going to the bin to dispose of nappies, toddler food scraps and so on and so forth, well, another extra trip can drive you nuts. Sometimes I just jam the plastic into my pocket and end up out shopping, pulling out scraps of breast pad wrapping out with my loose change. Or I just throw the rubbish on the floor of my bedroom. Then I have to pick it up later. SO MUCH EFFORT.

Excellent – Very good product have used with all three children, tried a couple of others and always come back to this one. They are very discreet, breast feeding can be a hellish experience so why look like an American grid iron sport star as well. They are compact and hygenically packed and a great space saver. Super discreet and absorbant. Individually wrapped for storing in all sorts of places.

Excellent – Tried lots of brand on the market as just had my first baby but found this one to be one of the best as it holds leakages well and doesnt go fluffy as some other brand can. good absorbency

OK – Overall the Pigeon breast pads are a good product, however not my number one choice. If the supermarket didn't have the ones that I normally buy (Johnson & Johnson) then Pigeon are my second choice. Individually wrapped, nice and thin. The wrapping is noisy to undo (like scrunching up a plastic shopping bag) which is frustrating when you're… Read more

trying to be discreet. They pads themselves also make a bit of noise if you're moving around a lot. I also found that they were not as comfortable as other brands and were almost too big for me (they would stick out of my bra).
