Rite Aid Nursing Pads

Unsafe for babies – The pad breaks easily and releases a crystal substance on your breast that can be ingested by your baby. In panic, I have contacted Rite Aid on their website twice and over the phone but did not received a response. Do not buy this product. Show details

Wasted at least 3 cups of milk leaked through! – Complete waste! The my font even work I have woken up to at least 3 cups worth of milk leaked through my shirt! I had to change my shirt at 1am and now at 9 M I am completely saturated! Definitely a waste of time and I should have just got the more expensive brand

love them! – First thing i bought after bringing baby home. Never had any issues with bunching or folding in my bra. I love how they come in a double folded packet. Easy to find in just about any supermarket! Extremely cheap for a lot of pads too. Always my first choice in breast pads.

Cheap and easy to find – I have been using breast pads for quiet a while these are alright once your sore boobs have settled they are super absorbent but do sweat and iche in summer takes abit to get used to they stick to your bra but then bunch up when feeding I gave up sticking thence to my bra Reliable inexpensive Can get sweaty and itchy

Best by far – I have tried quite a few brands of disposable breast pads and these are by far the best. They were the only ones that catch all the leaks during the night. Inexpensive, soft, breathable and comfortable. And most of all the most successful in catching all the leaks especially overnight. I have only found them at Coles and Big W. Sometimes gets a… Read more

bit bunched up in your bra and it becomes obvious your wearing them - just need a readjustment and its fine!

Just use sandpaper – I have sensitive nipples and these felt like sandpaper. The adhesive could be better as they tended to stick once and that's it. They were also very loud and scrunched up easily. It was the first nursing pads I tried and it put me off using any as my nipples felt raw after.

Poison hazard – Every one ive used has broken and the internal gel crystals have leaked out. Ive found them on my baby's mouth and my breast wondering what they were. I hope he hasnt ingested any! This product cost $3 more than a generic brand and the generic brands havent broken once. Waste of money and a hazard

Uncomfortable – Buyers regret! The pad bunches up and the plastic on the back is so uncomfortable when touching the skin. Not nice to sleep with. Padding is thin and I found the pads to be too large which caused them bunching up. Was fooled by recommendations (maybe I got a dud pack who knows) won't be buying them again.

Recently changed adhesive - way too sticky now – I used these when I breastfed my first child and they were great, and have been using them for my second child but they seem to have changed the adhesive recently as it's now way too sticky! When I take them out of my bra to feed baby, i have to practically rip them out. Then they get firmly stuck to whatever surface I sat them on. They are… Read more

absorbent, I rarely have leaks. If my baby sleeps through the night (rare) they get really full but I mostly stay dry.

This product is terrible (there is no star option otherwise I would rate NO STAR at all) – The pads got loosen stitches that cause an open area from where the internal gel leaked out onto the boobs. I have noticed it during night feed. Hopefully nothing was eaten by my bub. Note the pads that got loosen stitches and leaked the gel were just used for less than 1 hour during sleep. This has happened twice already (total 3 pads broken out of approx. 10 pads have been used).

Easy to find but super itchy & not very absorbent – I find that Rite Aid Nursing Pads are available in most supermarkets & a number of pharmacies and are also one of the cheaper brands of nursing pads. However, I find them very itchy & uncomfortable almost immediately after placing them in the bra. The are also not very absorbent & as such don't last as long as others.

So so itchy! – Bunch up a lot. Even when they're freshly placed in the bra they are obvious. I like that they have a double sticky part but they don't stay put. I assume in the bunching process the sticky bit got stuck to my boob and I have cut up the skin scratching them. Very disappointing. Johnsons were much better

Worst purchase ever! – First of all they are not even sticky, so uncomfortable and worst quality compared to so many others out there. Wouldn't suggest anyone buy them. I haven't even started breast feeding yet, I'm still pregnant and I can tell these would not do a thing when I am breast feeding.

Not great – Not great compared to the Pigeon pads. Like every other review, they bunch up into a little ball and then stick to your skin. Terrible! Absorbency wise - they are good though. They only have sticky bits on one side of the pad so they move around a lot also. absorbent bunches up, only one sticky bit which isnt even very sticky

They are absorbent but not comfortable! – The Rite Aid pads are very absorbent but not comfortable at all. They are itchy on the skin and the plastic backcover hurts the breast skin. I wont be using them again. Given the cheap price, I was initially drwn to them at the chemist but certainly dont deliver on quality. They dont leak, and cheaper than other brands Bad quality, uncomfortable!

Cheap and uncomfortable – I have tried heaps of different brands, these are ok. They bunch up and don't sit comfortably inside the bra, they also rustle quite loudly in comparison to some other brands. Having said that I haven't had a leak problem (and I have much to leak!) So they are ok. I didn't leak, even with a fast letdown Uncomfortable, noisy and they bunch up quite easily

By far the best on the market – I tried several brands and Rite Aid are fantastic. The quality of their product and the way it is packaged show that they truly care and truly consider the user-friendliness of their product. They have thought of everything. Absorbent, soft, practical packaging (protects pad whilst in handbag, easy to open), sticky surface on the back to secure… Read more

inside your bra, well priced The latest packs have two breast pads joined together on the assumption you will be changing them together, but often I'm required to just refresh one so I'd prefer that they were separate. A minor thing.

Good – I have been using these since first trying them when my baby was about a month old. They soak up a decent amount of breastmilk, as I had an enthusiastic supply. For me, I can't decide wether the individual wrapping is a pro or con. Great for before the supply/demand figures itself out, and you keep them in nappy bag/ handbag to change. A bit over… Read more

the top really once the supply is regular, and doesn't need to be changed often Biggest Pro is absorbancy- heaps better than washable breastpads

Thin and discreet in bra- doesn't show through

Cheap The sticky is ok, but not really great. Tends to come off when you fold down bra to feed

Most comfy disposable pads – I tried a couple of brands while breastfeeding, including the cotton washables and pigeon disposables, but this brand exceeds my expectations. Super wide yet thin enough to fit nicely in most bras, with sticky backing that actually works, this has been quite a lifesaver in those hectic days. They were also soft, great for use on the already… Read more

sensitive breasts.

Packed individually in easy-tear plastic packaging, it's both hygienic and convenient. I can easily toss a few pairs in my nappy bag without worrying that it'll get dirty/wet.

Reasonably priced & comes in big box. Love 'em! Soft, non-scratchy material, comfortably wide in size, discreet, hygienic, great value

Good – I bought these breast pads as they were on special, but found that they are soo absorbent, and being a heavy leaker these worked overnight for me to. They are very big (diameter) and quite thin which makes them very discreet under clothing. They have the self adhesive tape to stop them moving around in your bra, they seem very breathable. They are… Read more

individually wrapped for hygiene which makes them great to toss into your bag. They are always on special at the major supermarkets and come in bulk box. Very absorbent, cheap! Plastic coating can become noisy when sleeping (that could just be me, being a light sleeper)

Excellent – These were recommended to me by a friend and I love them. They are so absorbant. Very cheap too compared to a lot of the other brands. They are always on special at my local supermarket. Very absorbant, cheap.

Excellent – Have tried all the brands possible and these were the best by far. When i started breast-feeding my nipples were really sore and these were the only ones that didn't scratch or hurt. Love them. I use these to go out and cloth ones at home. The best on the market. Soft and absorbent. Cheapest. They are a bit too big. Can see them through clothes if your not wearing a bra.

Good – I tried a few other brands (inc. pigeon, J&J and others) Pigeon was my favorite but then I found no difference with Rite Aid, except they are only about a third of the price. My let down was insane so i could not use cloth like I would have liked to and all breast pads (BP) would leak on me but I found these ones to leak the least and also loved… Read more

that they have a leak-proof backing - so even when I did leak it would usually come out under my bust being much less visable then right out front. I also had trouble with dried and cracked nipples with my first child and found that these BP had a smooth lining where as other brands that didnt would stick to my nipples (having to basically wash them off) and also fibers would stick to you and/or any nipple cream you use.

Overall, I love this product, they are the only ones I will ever purchase kn the future. Absorbent. Leak proof backing. Smooth lining. Non-bulky / discrete. Convenient. Too much packaging (individualy wrapped). Not as good on your skin as Cloth breast pads (but then nothing is).

Good – I have really only the Pigeon brand to compare them with and I can't really find much difference between the both. I do find that when I feed and then pull my top back up they are all over the place. I find they are very absorbant but not as comfortable as cloth pads as they are not as soft and don't breathe. I would not use these if I was trying… Read more

to heal cracked nipples. I find unwrapping them very annoying and would rather they were not wrapped. Good price for the product that you get. No one would be able to notice that you are wearing them (unless they are bunched up after a feed). They don't breathe like cloth pads.

Terrible – These may be cheaper, but it is worth spending a bit more on a product so intimate. I hated these. I thought they were disgusting. The Johnsons ones are soooooooo much better. there is nothing that i like about this product at all. I only purchased them because they were the only ones available one time I did the grocery shopping and I still have… Read more

the full box as a pure emergency use only supply of nursing pads. They feel synthetic and horrible on your skin.

You can hear them crinkle when you are moving around - like a nappy on your boobs.

They are huge in size and hang out of your bra - my boobs went up to an F cup breastfeeding and these nursing pads still hung out of the top of the bra.

All that individual plastic packaging is a waste of resources and so bad for the environment.

Excellent – Great value for money, even better when they come on special. Its interesting to read other peoples reviews I have never had any troubles with them moving out of place or filling too quickly and I have lots of milk and need to wear them all the time. Worth a try when working out which brand suits you. Cheap, come in bulk, individually wrapped… Read more

which is great for the nappy bag, absorbant, didn't irritate and kept my nipples feeling dry, not wet like some other more expensive brands. For use at home I always felt bad with all the packaging so i swapped to pea pod reusables.

Good – I buy these all the time just because they are cheap and I have never had any discomfort or irritation. You are supposed to change your breast pads after every feed and more frequently if they become wet. I don't believe they are inferior to the expensive brands and I can't tell the difference between these and the Pigeon brand. Cheap, come in… Read more

bulk packs. Never had a leak. Invisible under clothes. They are individually wrapped which is a waste of packaging. Sweaty to wear because of the plastic backing. Only has a small sticky tab to hold it in place and it frequently comes unstuck. Not molded to the breast so bunches up in places.

OK – This product is cheap and available at any supermarket. I dont have complains when using this product. It absorbs well. But it doesnt hold at the place quiet well. I think the sticky tape doesnt stick very well. But I have tried 2 other different brands. They don't stick very well too. So I stick with this brand as it is cheaper than the other two that I have tried. Cheap and available at any supermarket It doesnt hold on the place very well.

Terrible – I hated them and would never recommend to any one. They are cheap but in this case you definately get what you pay for. The materials used for these is not suitable for sensitive skin like nipples! Breast feeding cant be hard on you and using a product such as this will make it much worse especially when it's so important to look after your… Read more

nipples to ensure your comfort when feeding your baby! cheap and you can purchase for the supermarket Within a few minutes of using these my nipples were so irritated and itchy I couldn't get them off quick enough, and this was before I started breast feeding so my nipple were still in great condition.

Terrible – I would happily pay the few dollars extra for a more comfortable product. Breastfeeding is hard enough on your nipples without using a product which further irritates Cheap They are itchy and uncomfortable. Made my nipples feel really irritated after a while

Good – i find this product very handy as they aren't wrapped in couples, so can use one at a time. i don't have a heavy milk flow, so not quite sure what they would be like with someone of a big leakage, but they keep me dry all night when i don't feed for 10hours so the absorbency is great for me! these are comfortable and great value, but not so great… Read more

for staying in place without a fitted top they are cheap with lots in the pack, absorbent, readily available from supermarkets, comfortable (don't really notice wearing them), don't show through clothing, individual packaging these breast pads don't stay in place very well. i have to wear a top that will hold breast pads in place, even at night!

Terrible – I hated these breast pads with a passion. They are poor qualitly and should be discontinued. I brought Rite Aid breast pads with my second. While at home and out they would fill to quickly and milk would leak out of them and i was quiet embarised. I brought Rite aid because they were cheap and sold in bulk I through nearly the hole box out. Stick… Read more

with a well known trusted brand like johnsons. They are cheap and can be brought in bulk. They fall out of place all the time, they don't stick, and they fill way to quickly.

OK – my overall opinion of rite aid nursing pads is that they are great if you are on a tight budget and don't mind the faults of them or just wear them around the house but i would personally recommend a different brand the price of rite aid nursing pads was really cheap and came in a bulk pack and individually wrap which was great the sticky side of… Read more

them lost its stickyness alot easier then other brands and i found that when wearing then they tend to move out of place which made me uncomfortable and forever having to check they were still in place whilst out in public, i also found once they have soaked up a little bit of milk they started to stink very easily as well

Bad – If there were no dr brown's brand around I would definately buy this product, as it did get the job done, but didn't find the absorbancy and stickiness were the best of the breast pads that I have used. Great price compared to some other pads, got the job done. Not as sticky as the dr brown's brand that i tried and not as absorbant either. … Read more

Stickiness was not very strong - fine of a day time under a bra but found these pads would move around of a night time and I would wake up with milk everywhere.

Good – i dont leak much so these ones did the job, i think that if you leaked a lot they might not be very absorbant. very good value for money as breast pads are really expensive. i didnt have to wear them when i wast feeding but if you did then they might get a little uncomfortable. So cheap! come in large pack. didnt leak for me. nothing much
