Pigeon Ultra Slim

The best in breast pads – Pigeon in my opinion is the best most absorbent and comfortable breast pad on the market. I have tried other brands and either they don't stay put, feel like you are wearing plastic or need to change more often. The are contoured really well to the breast and have two stick points not one. Contour and Absorbency A little more expensive than competitors ..but worth it!

Good – I love these pads. I use these on a daily/nightly basis and find they deal with leakage collection really well and are really absorbent. They can be a bit big and stick out, if I am wearing a smaller bra but that doesn't bother me too much as t-shirts cover it up anyway. I do not use the sticky back as I find that they stay in place quite well… Read more

without them. Being individually wrapped is good if packing them into a nappy bag, but can also be annoying if needing to use one quickly or only have one hand free (e.g. holding bubs)

Will definitely be using this product until I no longer need to! Slim design and individually wrapped. Very absorbent and do not stick to sore, cracked nipples. Individually wrapped (is a pro and a con), size of pad.

Excellent – Really like these, would keep using them except for the cost of continually buying them. I plan on keeping them as backup to washable nursing pads. These are thin, fit quite comfortably in bras and absorb well, doesn't shed fibre from the top liner. I like the individual packaging so that they can be packed easily into the nappy bag. The size of them may mean they stick out of the bra with some clothes, but that hasn't been a problem so far.

Average – I purchased these as the brand I normally use was out of stock. They are ok. They come individually wrapped which I find a bit of a waste or packaging. They are thin and I do find them a bit scratchy. Not all that absorbent and I find I go through several a day. The positive is that they are quite large in size and do well and truly cover the… Read more

nipple and more. I never use the adhesive part as I just tuck them into my bra and remove them when feeding and place them back in afterwards so can't comment on how adhesive they are as I don't find this a useful part of breast pads. Large size A bit scratchy

Not for me – A friend gave me two boxes of these and that's the only reason I'm using them. I find they bunch up, don't sit nicely in your bra (so you couldn't wear a tight fitting top over the top) and I found that they were a bit itchy. I wouldn't pay money for them. thin bunch up, itchy, adhesive didn't really work and don't stay in place.

Bad – Overall i was happy to hae these for over night but i will not be using these for bub number two. they are thiner and they dont get stuck to your nipple but when you have a baby that sleeps through from 3 weeks and your breasts are leaking through the night, these are not very good. They leaked and smelt gross. I will not be using these again.… Read more

they are thin and they catch your milk. They dont get stuck to your nipple they would leak over night, they would smell funny, and they stick a little too strong, and sometimes left a sticky residue in my clothes

Best on the market – I descovered these with bub number one and after 4 breastfed bubs I can safely say these are the best and only breath pads I will buy. No leakages they obsorb it all. Fantastic if you have a let down one both sides at once like I use to. No messy wet tops while your out and about unless you have left them too long. But that's pretty hard to do. Definitely worth a few extra dollars. Show details

I like it – Bought this a while ago when it was on sale in Baby Bunting and it is really doing what it is meant to be doing. It sticks well on the bra and is quite comfortable. Individually wrapped gives me a sense of security that they are clean, just like any other sanitary pads. Will certainly recommend it to other moms.

Best so far – I have, out of curiosity, tried at least five different brands of nursing pads, and these are the best so far. They are thin and flexible, good size, great absorbency in easy-to-open wraps. I have used a couple other brands that wrapped very tightly and hard to pull open the individual plastic wrap. They are also the only ones with a curved… Read more

circumference , which fits better than flat ones. I like the double adhesive strips. When I used those with one or none strip, they moved out of place too easily when I folded done my bra. They could cost a bit from places like supermarkets. Thin, absorbent, double adhesive, curved design A little expensive but worth it

OK – I didn't use them for long as they became smelly not like any other brands I have tried. Also when they absorb liquid they become like jelly. They are slim, comfortable and stay in place. I found they became smelly. Being sleep deprived they ended up in the washing machine on a few occasions still attached to bras and they leave a strange jelly residue in the washing machine and on all clothes!

OK – These were the first pads I used when breastfeeding and while I was initially happy with them, I have since used other cheaper brands which do a better job and are more comfortable and absorbent. The pads stay in place with no problem. Because they are thin, they are less bulky under your clothing. I have found the pads have leaked on a few… Read more

occasions when I have had a whole nights sleep without feeding baby. They don't tend to hold the liquid as well as other brands I have tried. The pads are also quite big which means they can stick out of your bra. I have also found them to be a bit rough on my nipples, perhaps due to them being thinner than other pads. They are also one of the more expensive brands.

Bad – I bought a pack of these when my preferred brand was not available. Didn't like them at all, (see Cons). Absorbent. Found them a little to large, didn't always fit inside the confines of my bra (and I have a large bust). Being individually wrapped I found this fidly when getting dressed and the fold in them was annoying. Didn't find the sticky on them very adhesive.

Good – overall i found these really good, especially at night, i used the cloth ones during the day though as i find disposable one tend to draw and dry out my nipples especially if you are sensitive, but compared to other brands i found this one to be OK in that factor as well, as long as you didn't wear them for extremely long periods at a time, its… Read more

best to change them more frequently when needed very thin yet could hold a lot of leakage. Soft feel, quite large compared to other brands and contoured to your shape while the option of the adhesive tabs is good to have, i never really used them as when folding down maternity bra the pad doesn't fold down easily with it. easier to just take pad out first

Good – It's slim & not noticeable even wearing t-shirts & very absorbent that it can last all day long. I usually use a pair at night after shower & just a pair in the morning & it last for a whole day. But if you want something even more absorbent I recommend the Pigeon Premium, the one that's 36pcs in a pack - this is the best but of course more… Read more

expensive, the Ultra Slim is good enough for me. I also tried Avent & Johnson, they are absorbent but the size is too small & hard to keep them in place at night while I'm asleep so it didn't work for me during the night. Slim & Absorbent. Good size, not too small. Clean individual packaging.

Good – I tried unsuccessfully to use cloth pads and ended up switching to Pigeon. I leaked a lot and they worked great. They lasted all night and I could generally put a set in in the morning and leave them there all day if I forgot about them. very slim, can wear them under any clothes. Very comfortable to wear, especially for sore cracked nipples. … Read more

Very absorbent, could last all night even with heavy leakage. They are more expensive than other brands but you get what you pay for. Seems to be a lot of packaging...I know it is to e sanitary but it seems a bit excessive.

Excellent – Overall these are my preferred breastpads. While they may be more expensive I have found some buy two boxes get one free deals which has been economical. I do think there is a bit too much plastic in the packaging. These breast pads are very slim and comfortable. They don't show through your clothes. They are also very absorbent - some mornings I… Read more

wake and they are very wet but I don't notice until I unpeel them from my top. The adhesive is very sticky but doesn't leave marks on my clothes. Although it is hygenic to have them sealed in plastic, it seems very wasteful.

Excellent – These are by far my favourite disposable breast pads. They are really absorbent while being almost impossible to see through your clothes. Also, because they are so slim you can fit a whole bunch of spares easily in your nappy bag. super slim and can't be seen even through tight tops. Very absorbent a little expensive, but most of the better brands are.

Excellent – Feels like you're not wearing them at all, no irritation caused and they hold really well during the whole day. I mean i know it's not recommended but i never got any irritation for over-using the breast pads. Also I really like that you just pull out on the edges and the plastic they are enclosed in easily opens, i worked that out after a few… Read more

packets as it's got no instructions. Finally the sticky part works fantastically too. thin and don't show through top. amazingly they hold quite a bit of moisture i sometimes use it over 2 days and works well.. but they get heavy otherwise no leakage at all. great a little pricy, but for the quality i wouldn't complain

OK – I found them very comfortable, not scratchy like some other ones that I tried. I don't know why they need to be individually wrapped, seems like a waste to me although is handy if you want to throw some spares in your handbag. I didn't bother using the adhesive strips, found they stayed in place Ok on their own. A bit pricey. Slim, so quite… Read more

discrete and not very obtrusive. Very soft without any scratchy edges, like some others I tried. Very pricey compared to some of the other brands. The boxes are big and bulky but don't seem to fit that many in them.

Bad – These are not too bad but I did find another brand that I preferred mainly because of the price and amount in a box. They are very discreet and fit well in your bra. I found them to be more expensive than some other brands and had less in the boxes than others as well. They tended to bunch up because the adhesive strips on the back dids'y work very well.

OK – i think these breast pads are an ok product, but there are nicer breast pads out there. i found the 'you'll love coles' brand much softer and nicer, and cheaper too. they are quite discreet, and dont show through your bra. the stick tab on the back is handy to keep it in place. they are quite absorbent, but if you had a heavy flow you would need… Read more

to change them regularly. i found these felt more papery and scratchy than other brands, and therefore didnt feel as nice against my skin. the individual wrapping seems a bit over-the-top, and not very environmentally friendly.

Good – best breastpads by far and I've tried them all. Love the fact that they are nice and thin and dont look too lumpy through your bra. No idea why the need to put each pad in individual wrappers. slim fit and discreet under clothes. Nice and adsorbant. individual wrappers, single sticky tab. Expensive.

Terrible – found them very uncomfortable to wear as the edges kept rubbing against my skin and the pads kept folding in my bra making my boobs leak on my shirt thin pads each individual pad was wrapped in plastic so a bit annoying and they were very thin and kept rustling in my bra. the edges kept rubbing against the skin

OK – I personally love this because it's thin, you barely feel it. But I have heavy supply and I have to keep replacing after a few hours, not very practical if you're going out. It's also individually wrapped, wasting so much plastic. It's thin, it doesn't add extra volume to your breast A bit pricey and if your supply is heavy it leaks

Good – These were the best by far and i road tested nearly all the brands. They werent as thick as the others, were super absorbent and not too pricey as they went on special at the supermarket often. These were the most comfortable to wear. The adhesive strip to keep pad in place was great especially at night when sleeping. Sometimes if i was wearing a… Read more

thinner shirt you could see the folded line of the pad through my shirt. Individual wrapping was good from a hygiene perspective but it was such as waste to have so much plastic going in the bin every day.

OK – Overall, they were a good buy as they hold alot of moisture and there are heaps in a box therefore you aren't buying as many boxes. The Pads were extremely thin, holds alot of moisture. Weren't very comfy, edges seem to rub on your skin & they're a little pricy

Good – I had my husband buy a box every time he went grocery shopping so by the time the twins arrived I had more than enough, I even ended up with some left over when I stopped leaking, strangely enough I found I only leaked while wearing them in the end so it's always to good to check whether you still need to purchase this disposable item. Very thin… Read more

so you can't tell that you're wearing them, no smell, no wet patches on my clothes, stay stuck to feeding bra through multiple feeds Can be quite expensive, felt guilty about the environment as each one is individually packaged in plastic (would prefer if they could package them in pairs if they really have to be wrapped).

Excellent – I had a major flooding issue with breastfeeding and would only have to hear someone elses baby cry for a full let down to occur and these were the only ones that produced no odours from milk build up. Other brands would have me going through 4-5 sets in one day as they "filled" too quickly where as these would last up to 12 hours without any… Read more

issues so only went through two sets a day. Very thin, no odours, SUPER absorbent Bit pricey - but found I had to use twice as many with the other brands so not really

Excellent – I had very badly gazed nipples and these were the only breast pads that wouldn't stick to my nipples. They are the most absorbent pad I've used. They are comfortable and discreet. Very thin and absorbent. Individually wrapped. The price...nothing bad to say

Excellent – I find these breast pads very good quality. They work really well and I know that I can always trust that they will not leak. They also never show through my clothes as they are ultra thin. They are also very comfortable to wear. These breast pads are very thin & discreet. They have a plastic backing so that they do not leak through. They are… Read more

wrapped in individual plastic wrappers so that they can be easily stored. They also stuck very well, unlike others that come loose. They are a little more expensive than some brands but are quality, so worth it. Buying in bulk is more economical as well.

Excellent – I really like these breast pads over others I have tried as they don't show through your clothing and are nice and slim so they mould to your breast well. They are very absorbent and if you can get them from the discount chemist they are quite cheap also. Nice and thin, very discreet under all clothing. I like the plastic back that ensures the… Read more

milk doesn't leak through. Comes in handy individual wrapping so you can keep them anywhere 'just in case'. Quite cheap from the discount chemist - 3 boxes of 24 for about $16. I haven't found any so far.

Excellent – I love these as they come individually wrapped (bad for the environment though) and always keep a couple in my handbag, nappy bag, car glove box etc. I found they were wonderful when I was going back to work or going out as they are so thin they are really discrete and don't give you that obvious round patch or strange shape some other can. They… Read more

are also nice and big which when you're a larger breasted girl is vital. I didn't have any issues with leaks around the edges the way I did with some other brands. Fantastic to wear under clothes and absorbent More expensive than some options

Good – Good product, value for money (although they are disposable, you get more in a box because they are thin), stays put and suitable wearing under all types of clothing. Thin pads, good absorbancy and don't show under tight clothes, convenient in individual plastic wraps so you can take a couple in your handbag whenever you go out. Good sticking… Read more

power so stays in place really well, I threw some others I tried out because they moved around too much. The plastic backing was a bit sweaty, so needed frequent changing. I prefer cotton for longer wearing - such as for overnight or when exercising.

Excellent – Brilliant product that is far superior to competitive products. When you're stocking up for your first pregnancy, it's nice to have knowledge of products that can be relied upon, and these definitely can be. This is baby #2 for me and I absolutely rely on these pads. Great design compared to others: super slim, stay in place, don't show thru… Read more

clothes, great absorbency through all the phases of breastfeeding, even the packaging is good: perforated individually wrapped pads make for easy access, especially important when you just come out of the shower & start leaking! Nothing. (I buy mine from the Discount Chemist and they seem pretty reasonably priced.)

Excellent – i was given these by a friend who didnt need them anymore and found them great but expensive so i stopped using them (plus i stopped breastfeeding) not bulky, great absorbancy, easy to purchase at most supermarkets, adhesive is great cost
