Description
Soothingly soft washable pads made with organic merino wool. Designed by a Danish nurse, these organic breast pads were made to be newborn necessities. Style Original is made with 2 layers of knitted KbT-certified organic merino wool. Style Ekstra has 3rd inner layer of interwoven wool, for extra absorption. Style Softline is made with interwoven wool fibers. Untreated wool can absorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture, without feeling wet. Once wet, pads feel warm, rather than cold and clammy, as with cotton or disposable breast pads. Scandinavian midwives have traditionally advised breastfeeding mothers to keep their breasts warm to prevent plugged ducts. Larger sizes provide gentle, soothing warmth for this purpose, and are actually less noticeable through clothing, as edge falls further back over covered area. Wool breathes, to maintain comfortable temperature in warmth or cold. Wool's natural oil, lanolin, provides self-cleansing properties for easy care. Wash occasionally, on average every couple weeks, with lanolin-replenishing soap, to optimize wool's unique properties. The wool pads can be used together with lanolin and other ointments, commonly used in breastfeeding. Even women who feel they are allergic to wool can often wear these pads - many react to the chemicals used to extract lanolin from the wool; no such chemicals are used on this wool. Sold as set of 2 pads (one pair). Available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit each woman's needs.
