They are about $20. I spend $3-6 per week on disposables so for reasons of frugality and being greener, I wanted to switch.

Okay, so my initial opinion is that they are really cool. I wore them last night and although they didn't stop me from leaking, at least I could go to bed without a bra for the first time in 6 months. That was nice. Baby is going through a growth spurt, so my flow is faster and heavier than usual. I didn't expect a miracle. They are like wearing nothing though. With disposables, they can get cold when wet....like now in the winter!

What do you all think? Anybody have these? It's a total gamble because they're $20!! but so far so good. I'll let you know in a month.

I used these the only problem i had with these is that they end up with a resorvor of milk that sometimes is wet when you take them off. THey are also not as easy to feed and then put back on. I enjoyed them when i wanted to wear a non nursing bra.

I LOVED them. It was so nice to go to bed without a bra. I bought mine off or ebay for about $18. I used them everyday when I was working. Just make sure and wash them every day. If they seem to not be as tacky just rub the tacky side of each together and it helps. they were totally worth it to me.

I nursed my son for 22 months and these were the best for me for about the last year. I wasn't leaking much at all by then but still needed a little protection just in case. They worked very well for me!

Well, I still leak a lot even at months. So I get the reservoir that was talked about already. Pops all over the place and makes a mess. I find if I consentrate on putting them on better, they work better.....like if they are stuck on more securly, they work better.

I was told, and I do believe that it can be harmful to wear them over night, but maybe only if you are prone to mastitis....I've had it twice. Not while using this product though. And I did use this the first night so I didn't have to wear a bra for the first time in 6 months!!!! Soooooo nice!!!!

So after about a week of use, I still like them. In the pool, one came off, one didn't. SO that's a wash. I'll let you know nest week what happens.....if they come off in the pool.

Okay, I used them. For some of the time, and I don't like them! I know some people swear by them but icky. Here's what I liked:

The sticky-ness didn;t wear off. They stayed in place.
I liked that they were so comfortable.

Here's what I didn't like:
I'm a leaker. There's always a little dampness on my pads. (sorry if it's tmi) So when I leak into the Lily padz, they get a fun little pocket of milk that no matter what I do spurts all over the place and makes a mess.

Even if I didn't leak before I started feeding, when I did start feeding her, the other side would leak!!!!!! Ug.

They were just way messy for me. I also used the washable pads at this time for nights. If I had more than two sets, it would have worked fine. I seemed to soak through these easier than disposable pads though. Still, I may invest in a few more sets and give it a real go.

If you are not a leaker, go for it. They are worth the money IF you wash them every day.
