Breast Pads & Care

Breast Pads for Leak Protection and Comfort
A good breast pad is one of the most essential nursing items for new mums, helping prevent leaks and keep nipples dry between feeds. Our breast pads range includes the Mininor Breast Pads and Medela Washable Breast Pads for a reusable, eco-friendly option, plus Haakaa Disposable Nursing Pads for convenient on-the-go protection.

Nipple Shields for Breastfeeding Support
A nipple shield can help babies latch more easily during the early weeks of breastfeeding or when managing flat, inverted or sore nipples. Our Suavinex Silicone Nipple Shields are a soft, flexible option designed to sit comfortably during feeds while supporting a natural latch.

Silverette Nursing Cups for Nipple Care
Silverette nursing cups are a popular natural alternative for soothing and protecting sore or cracked nipples between feeds, using the antibacterial properties of pure silver. We stock the Silverette Nursing Cups and the Original Nursing Cups + OFEEL Combo, both designed to support healing during the breastfeeding journey.

Complete Breast Care Essentials
Beyond breast pads and nipple shields, our range includes the Bare Mum Nipple Balm and Warm & Cool Breast Inserts for soothing relief, Haakaa's Shell Breast Massager and Silicone Colostrum Collector, Suavinex Milk Collection Shells, and the Simple Breastfeeding Blissful Boobie Pillow for extra comfort.

Why Breast Care Matters During Breastfeeding
Establishing breastfeeding can be physically demanding, and the right breast pads, nipple shields and nipple care products can make a real difference to comfort and confidence in the early weeks and beyond.

FAQs

What's the difference between a breast pad and a nipple shield?
A breast pad sits inside your bra to absorb leaked breast milk and keep you dry and comfortable between feeds. A nipple shield is a thin silicone cover worn over the nipple during a feed, often used to help with latch difficulties or nipple soreness.

What are Silverette nursing cups used for?
Silverette nursing cups are worn over the nipples between feeds to help soothe and protect sore or cracked skin. They're made from pure silver, which has natural antibacterial properties, and are a popular alternative to traditional nipple creams.

Are Silverette cups reusable?
Yes. Unlike disposable breast pads, Silverette nursing cups are designed to be washed and reused throughout your breastfeeding journey.

When would I need a nipple shield?
Nipple shields like our Suavinex Silicone Nipple Shields are often recommended for babies who are struggling to latch, mums with flat or inverted nipples, or during the healing process for sore or cracked nipples. If you're unsure whether a nipple shield is right for you, it's worth checking with a lactation consultant or your midwife.

Should I choose disposable or reusable breast pads?
Disposable breast pads, like our Haakaa Disposable Nursing Pads, offer convenience for busy days or travel, while reusable options like the Mininor and Medela Washable Breast Pads are a more cost-effective, eco-friendly choice for everyday wear.

Can breast pads help with sore nipples?
Breast pads primarily manage leaks rather than treat soreness directly, but keeping the nipple area dry does support healing. Pairing breast pads with a dedicated nipple balm, like our Bare Mum Nipple Balm, or Silverette nursing cups can help further with comfort and recovery.
