What Are Nursing Pads and How to Use Them

Nursing pads are one of the most essential breastfeeding accessories for new Pakistani moms. This guide covers everything you need to know about choosing, using, and getting the most from nursing pads — and how to stop wasting the milk they absorb.

What Are Nursing Pads?

Nursing pads are absorbent inserts worn inside your bra to catch milk leakage between feeds. Almost every breastfeeding mom leaks — especially in the first 12 weeks — and nursing pads protect your clothing and keep you comfortable and dry.

Types of Nursing Pads Available in Pakistan

Disposable nursing pads — soft, single-use, and convenient. Best for when you're out of the house or in the early weeks when leaking is heaviest. The Deepsea disposable range comes in 24-pack trial and 60-pack monthly sizes.

Reusable nursing pads — washable fabric pads for home use. More economical long-term, but need washing after every use.

How to Use Nursing Pads

Simply place the pad against your nipple inside your bra before getting dressed. Change pads every 2-3 hours or immediately after any significant leaking. Never leave a wet pad against your skin for long — moisture leads to nipple soreness and can increase infection risk.

The Problem With Nursing Pads — And the Solution

Nursing pads do their job — but they also absorb milk that could be fed to your baby. Every time you leak, that's real breast milk being thrown away. A Silicone Breast Milk Collector solves this: worn on the non-feeding breast while you breastfeed, it catches that letdown milk before it can soak into a pad — collecting 20–60ml per session that would otherwise be wasted.

Many Pakistani moms use nursing pads during the day when out, and switch to a milk collector during every home feeding session to build their freezer stash. Read our complete guide to silicone breast milk collectors to understand exactly how much milk you could be collecting.
