Ameda® ComfortGel® HydroGel Pads

The cracking finally eased up after two days of using these, and the cooling sensation when you first stick them on is such a relief at 3am. They stay put through a feed without sliding around, which I didn't expect from a gel pad.

Three weeks in and these pads are still holding up after being washed and reused daily — the gel stays cool and adhesive enough to stay put through feedings. My cracked nipples finally healed without me having to grit my teeth every time my baby latched. Worth every penny for the extended-use factor

I was skeptical about spending the money, but these pads really do stay put for hours without slipping, and the extended-use gel held up through multiple feedings. The cool relief made those first cracked days so much more bearable.
