  1. Whomp Whomp... Laundry time. Don't sweat it, we have a quick and easy routine for washing your breast pads. If you cloth diaper you can simply throw them in and wash using your Lil Helper approved wash routine. If you are washing them with your diapers please remember to rinse off any nipple cream that may be present prior to washing.
  2. Don't use cloth diapers? No worries. You can wash them with your regular laundry. However, we do recommend throwing them into a mesh garment bag to protect them in your washer. Please note: do not wash using hot water or dry on high heat.

washable nursing pads to protect pregnant moms clothes while breastfeading

3 Layers of goodness

Each pad is made from three action packed layers. Waterproof PUL (to keep your shirts, sheets, and significant other protected from your “fountains of youth”) + Absorbent Bamboo Terry (to suck in and hold all the leaky goodness) + Wicking Bamboo Poly Mesh on your skin(keeps you fresh and dry as a daisy on a summer’s day).

Low profile

There may be a lot going on in those layers, but we have worked to keep them slim and lo-pro. Each pad conforms to your breasts and is invisible from the outside. Because visible seams, lumps, or weird points are so pre-Covid.

Double the fun

Each pack contains 2 pairs of pads. That works out to 4 in total, for those of you who feel like your little one must be sucking out brain cells along with that magical milk at each feeding. I feel you, I counted on my fingers twice to make sure I got these numbers right.

Moisture + warmth = a sticky mess.

Our washable breast pads take sticking out of the equation


Cotton breast pads (disposable nursing pads and reusable breast pads) literally glue on to your sensitive skin, which is no fun for you or your nips. Imagine peeling off a cotton breast pad that is stuck to your nipples, especially if they are dry, chapped, or (heaven forbid) cracked 😱.

Lil Helper breast pads have a stay-dry, wicking bamboo - a technical material next to your skin. Which means that your baby will be the only sticky nightmare you need to worry about.

washable nursing pads are better than disposable nursing pads as nursing bras for breast milk

We’ve taken a novel approach in our design.

Breast pads that are actually shaped like, well, breasts


Why are most breast pads “lumpy and coaster shaped”? Which titan of industry used a dinner plate - flat and round - as a design inspiration for conventional breast pads?

Our pads are soft, concave, seamless on the outside and adapt to the natural curve of your body, gently hugging “the twins” and staying out of sight.

Soggy bras are no joke.

Our breast pads have you covered


The word leaking in any context just denotes something, somewhere went wrong. Our breast pads don’t leak!! The white fabric you see is waterproof PUL that locks in moisture. The thin middle layer of super absorbent bamboo terry will soak in every drop that you leak throughout the day, and the wicking bamboo mesh will keep your breasts feeling dry while evenly dispersing the milk throughout the pad!

If you’re a “heavy wetter” or needing more coverage, our Overnight Breast Pads will be your jam!

ultra absorbent bra pads are the sports bra of the breastfeeding journey - light weight.

Soft as a feather, constructed like a tank.

Breast pads as tough as the Mamas who wear them


Just because our pads look delicate please don’t treat them with any kind of reverence by hand washing them or cleaning them with tears of a sloth. Just throw them in the washer with your regular clothes or underwear. These babies were made to last, so you will never have to replace them. Like survive the apocalypse - last. For real. All that will be left is cockroaches, Cher, and these breast pads.

And if you are scared of losing them in wash, use one of our laundry mesh bags

to keep them together.

I’m not sure why women were designed so that their liquid gold would gush forth every time someone looks at them the wrong way, or a baby thinks about crying within a 150 km radius, but our comfy, leak-proof pads will help you feel a little less like this guy.

FAQ

Still not sure? Let us lay some more Tata-related knowledge on you to help ease your mind.

Full FAQ Page

Have you decided to invest in reusable breast pads but are unsure how many you need? We got you! To start out we would say one breast pad deal (add link) and 2 packs of overnight liners. That would be 8 pairs of breast pads and 4 pairs of overnight pads. You may find you need less or more depending on how often you wash or how heavy you leak. However, this is a great starter stash.
Our unique combo of super absorbent bamboo, PUL backing and especially the bamboo stay dry liner (BDSL). All of which work to prevent any dreaded crunchiness and prevent the pad from sticking to nipple. That was the big seller for all of us! 
Our nursing pads are ultra soft, ultra absorbent and can withstand heavier leaks.  Great for sensitive skin, our reusable pads are more cost effective than disposable pads.  Feel comfortable regardless of your cup size.

Wonderful bra insert replacement

First and foremost, I didn't purchase the Hera overnight pads for their intended purpose. I am not nursing and do not need leak protection.

Instead, I purchased the Hera overnight pads to replace the nipple covering bra inserts I've been using for years. My old inserts are foam covered in cloth, are $15 a pair, are sold by a MLM company, & the cloth cover comes off after a few washes.

I wanted another option that was discreet, comfortable, and made to last. I got that and more with the Hera overnight pads. After having used the HyPs pads I knew durability and comfort wouldn't be an issue. And I am pleased to report that discretion is also not a problem. They're also cheaper, only a couple dollars more than one pair of my old inserts but I get TWO pair instead of one.  Plus I get the added bonus of absorbency in case of sweat.

Maybe once nursing is over, this could be an alternate use for your Hera pads? Maybe you're like me and was just looking for an alternative to existing bra inserts for nipple coverage? Maybe you think I'm off my rocker? No matter what, I'm still going to sing my praises for these Hera overnight pads.  Thank you Uncle Mo and Lil Helper for another wonderful product!

Chrissy - mind blown over here!

One of the best things about being on the Delight Team for Lil Helper is hearing how folks use our products - and this is a new one! It never ceases to thrill me to hear how creative our customers are - it keeps us inspired to make more cool things!

Our Hera Breastpads are perhaps the product Mohammed is most proud of, he put a lot of thought into their discrete and natural shape and design.

Thank you so much for sharing this awesome way to use them! I'll be passing along your story to Mohammed.

Off my rocker with joy reading your words,
Caitlin @ Lil Helper

Exactly as advertised

Love these. I only bought one sheet and will likely buy more. Disposable breast pads are chafy and rough against the skin, plus as someone who has experienced my share of nipple trauma, these have never stuck to my skin like the disposable ones. I wouldn't even guess I had leaked if I didn't actually still it myself, because the fabric stays so dry! I would suggest, however, if you are particularly well endowed, to go with the overnights, simply for surface area, as I do find the regular ones a big small in that regard.

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback! Our Hera Breastpads are one of the products we are most proud of - thrilled that they are helping you be more comfortable on your nursing journey!!

Amazing!!!

I love these! I didn’t want to use the disposable nursing pads, and every other brand of reusable ones I tried had terry cloth texture next to the skin that when milk would dry it would stick to me and be painful to remove. Not with lilhelper! These soak up the milk and don’t stick at all. Best nursing pads ever!!!

Thank you so much for your kind review! We are thrilled to hear that you are loving our Hera Overnight Breast Pads. This kind of feedback on other reusable options is exactly what inspired us to create a solution with our stay dry bamboo material! So happy they are working for you.

Love the overnight breast pads! I also wear them during the day, they don’t leak unless you’re cleaning them. I will buy again!
