Did that name get your attention? Can you guess what Milk Diapers are?
They’re nursing pads. Sorry – maybe I should have warned the guys that they won’t be interested in this giveaway. But doesn’t the very name make you smile? I was checking the reviews on Amazon, trying to find an absorbent and well-contoured brand of nursing pads, and among the negative reviews for other brands I came across a recommendation for MilkDiapers. I then found the site via google, and loved what I saw.
The pads themselves are just what I wanted. They’re deliciously soft, plenty absorbent, very reasonably priced, and provide enough coverage to keep any nursing mom happy. They are contoured, but that’s not all. Because they are so very soft, they conform well to your shape and don’t show through.
Although I have some 5 layer pads (and any of the pads can be doubled for super-protection) I find that 4 layers is just right for me.
The proprietor is a delight to work with, too. At first, I was having some trouble with show-through, but she asked a few questions and encouraged me to stick with them. She advised me to wash them a few times before I passed judgment and I found that with a little use they softened right up, even though I line dry them. Those with the waterproof layer were the stiffest, while the naturals were miraculously soft right out of the envelope.
But soft! Did I tell you how soft they are? On the inside, I mean – not just entire pad. The inner layer is so velvety smooth, you’ll want to rub it on your cheek. ”Like a baby’s behind,” we say in our house, with an Italian accent. (Bonus points if you can name that movie. It’s an obscure film with a big star, but it’s a favorite of ours. We quote it all the time.)

As a nursing mom right now….these would be great! I think I’d go with the 5 layer pads. Thanks for the giveaway.
I would go with the 5 layer pads. Thanks for this giveaway… I’ve been eyeing these as I am using disposable ones that I find are not very discreet and not environmentally friendly. These would be great!
I would choose the 5 layer pads. These look like a good solution to the leakage problem!
Ahem…”I would choose milk diapers because they are natural, contoured, reusable, come in 5 layers (!), and soft as a baby’s bottom!”
These would be so wonderful to win. Bonne chance, tout le monde!
I love Oscar!!!! I didn’t know anyone else did. And I think it’s 3 big names when it comes to major roles.
I think I’d like the 5 layer pads. I also would love some washable pads that don’t show through a t-shirt!
STOP CALLIN’ ME BOSS!
Some of my nursing pads are really worn after 7 babies. These sound lovely!
Posted on facebook.
No show coverage is a great feature of these.
I would get the lacy ones, because they are pretty. Why not? Actually the 5 layer ones would be a great. I used disposable pads last time and they did not work at all, so this is definitely something to look into.
Oscar!!! I need to watch that about 50 more times so I can get all the quotes down!
I would love the 5 layer natural pads. I leak terribly at night and have to wear something every night unless I want to wake up in a puddle…and my baby’s over a year!
I would love to win these. I have been thinking about making some for myself. I would choose the 4 layer pads in white.
I’d choose the five layer pads for sure. These look great, and I can’t believe how reasonably priced they are. I have one set of LanaCare wool pads, which are fabulous, but I can’t afford a second set. I may have to buy some Milk Diapers if I don’t win any!
I would choose the Moisture Guard Pads. Funny, I was just thinking that I should figure out a good washable nursing pad. I’ve never really used them. Only disposables. But since I’m loving the cloth diapers on my babies, I’m wondering if cloth might be nice for me too. Thanks for the giveaway!
With the next baby due in October, I’ve been thinking I’ll need to make my own nursing pads, but what a joy it would be to win these!
I would choose the 5-layer pads. They might need doubled-up at first, but it looks like they would be excellent!
Since I don’t tweet, facebook or have a blog…chances are slim, but we’ll give it a try as baby #4 is due any moment! If these puppies really don’t make it look like there is a perfectly round plate under my shirt, then I will LOVE LOVE LOVE having something absorbent to wear in public that is also discreet!
I would choose the 5 layer pads. From your review they sound great!
I’ll be a nursing mom for the first time in 4 months or so- I’d choose the 5-layer pads. Since I’ll be going back to work, these will hopefully help with any embarrassing leaks.
I love Milk diapers. I would but the 5 layer pads. They are what I bought 8 years ago when I first heard of them. I am still using the original one’s I bought. I have a baby coming in Feb. so it would be nice to have some new ones.
I would enjoy the four-layer lace pads. With my baby coming in December, I would love to try these. Washable nursing pads would be such a blessing.
I’d take 4-layer white lace. I wear nursing pads all the time, whether I have new baby leaking or not. I’m rather large-busted and have found it helps to prevent anything from showing through. The nursing pads I have now have been in use for 9 continuous years, and they could use replacing! Baby #6 is due in just a couple weeks!
I’d choose a 6-pack of the 4-layer natural pads! They look fantastic; so much better than the thin disposables!
Hmmmm, I’d probably get the 4 layer lace, as I am on my 5th box of disposables with my 5th baby! These look wonderful; I love the softness feature, but most important to me, absorbancy.
I would love to have the 5 layer ones! Let’s just say that the ones I’ve been using almost continuously for 11 years now have seen their better days!
It would be lovely to have some new ones to use. Blessings to you!
Definitely have to go for the 5 layer ones. I HATE the disposable ones as they’re so itchy! These look great!
I have been looking for some cloth nursing pads! I am due to give birth in 10 weeks. I would like to have the 4 layer 10 pack in Natural. I want less layers of padding because I usually have bleeding cracked nipples when I first start breastfeeding. Oh the joys of being a redhead. My favorite parts about the pads is that they are contoured, soft, breathable and cloth. The plastic backing on disposables hold the moisture in and make my nipples worse than they already are. These pads look like the exact ones I need.
I would choose the 4 layer ones. I am nursing baby #5 as I write! I have been using disposables and they are so bulky and would love to try these.
I think I would go with the 4 layer. I have so much trouble with show through I think the thinner the better for me. I am very interetsed if they would not show through…hmmm
Wow, these milk diapers are very cool! I like the waterproof features yet it isn’t made with plastic! Right now I am using the disposable kind, they are scratchy and I have to change them often because they do not breathe at all.
Thank you!
Julie A.
I would probably go with the 5 layer so I don’t have to worry about them leaking. Looks like a great product!
The 5 layer pads look great! The only thing I wonder is if they stay in your bra better than store bought ones. I have SO much trouble with the pads slipping out of my bra and falling on the ground after the baby has nursed a lot. Very embarrassing!!!!
Thanks, Kim, for sharing the info on the Milk Diapers. I’ve never used cloth nursing pads before. I think I would probably choose the 5 layer pads. I like the fact that they are soft and thin so that they hopefully wouldn’t show through. Based on the wonderful reviews I read, I don’t think the price is unreasonable. If they indeed hold up through several stints of nursing, then they are worth it!
On a closely related topic, do you have a brand preference for nursing bras? I’d be curious to know which ones have worked well for you and your readers.
Melanie,
I’ve never been happy with the nursing bras I tried. Instead, I wear a bra with NO underwire and pull it up to nurse. No clasps to fumble with.
I would choose the 4 layer type. I don’t tend to leak alot while nursing, but I sure need the coverage.
I would get the 4 layer regular ones. I had one pair from before that was uncomfortable and would show through. But these sound like they would fix those problems.
Hmmm….let’s see. I don’t tweet. I no longer have a Facebook account.
I’m not nursing anymore (yet) but will be in March.
And I do have nursing pads that I LOVE…..
But I’m always willing to try new things.
Am I still eligible??? Put me in for whichever ones you use.
I really like the contoured feature. The ones I have are bulky and not contoured and show through a lot of the clothes I have…not cool. :-/
I’d go with the 4 layer ones, since I don’t usually experience major leakage.

P.S. Is the quote from Oscar?

YES!!! It’s Oscar. One of our all time favorite movies!

Thanks for the great giveaway!

“You’re an ox and a moron!” hehehe, Oscar was one of our favorite movies in our family growing up!
I’d love to try some nursing pads with the waterproof layer. I don’t know what my problem is, but I seem to leak through EVERYTHING! I’ve tried LANA wool pads, similar cotton pads… doesn’t matter what I use, I leak right through. It would be very nice to have some washable nursing pads that would keep me high and dry!
The moisture guard pads – 7 babies in 11 years equals about 10 years of nursing… I know what works!!
gosh I haven’t seen Oscar in forever! What a flashback!
I would choose the 4 layer natural. Now that the baby’s 6 months, I just experience leaking at feeding time. : ) And of course if the babe decides to sleep in (which I love!). I’ve been using disposables, but hate the waste. I’d love to switch. Thanks for informing me about this awesome alternative! Hope that baby is doing well. Loved reading your birth story. I had my last 2 at home. What a life changing experience it was!
It’s hard to pick a favorite feature without trying them, but if it’s TRUE, then I’d go with breathability. I hate the stench of sweaty, stinky, milk boobs after a long day of nursing.
I have actually used Milk Diapers and I love so many things about them: I love that they are reusable and yet they dry so quickly (I line dried them too), I love the lace, I love that they didn’t leak through (better than my wool ones!), I love that they were soft and contoured perfectly, and I love that they lasted so long. I don’t know how many layers they were because they were given to me, but I am actually hoping to give some to a friend who is due in December who wondered about mine (I didn’t know at the time which brand they were). I LOVED them! I am so happy you found them and are giving them due “press.” I am no longer nursing, but hope to again some day, and I will be using these again.

I would choose either 5 layer or moisture guard pads. I’d love to try these! I hate using disposables all the time (i think breathability is important and who wants to be buying those all the time?) but haven’t yet found a cloth option that actually works for my heavy leakage! These really do have a great low price. I am likely to buy them even if I don’t win!

I am sorry to be the party pooper here, but I have never liked cloth nursing pads! I’ve nursed 5 babes, and so far my fave has been Lansinoh’s disposable nursing pads. For me they are big enough, contoured just right, leak-free (now seriously, you do have to change them), and they don’t show through (you don’t see the giant circle outline through your clothes)! My only complaint is that they can sometimes be slightly itchy around the edges. Not always, but sometimes.
I would be happy to try out cloth pads again if they were free!!
wink wink! I have never tried Milk Diapers. They would have to really win me over by being leak free and invisible!
I was going to go with the 4-layer pads, but given my inexperience and deferring to everyone else’s choices in their comments, I think I’ll go for the 5-layer pads.
I’d actually already ordered some of the four-layer pads in natural using your discount code…I’d love to have some more, though! I’d already been thinking of ordering a second pack. We’re expecting our third in a few weeks.
I also posted this on my Facebook page.
The 4 layer natural pads look wonderful. I’m nursing my second and have to find one that I love. These definitely look worth a try!
Posted on facebook, too.
Looks like a great product-I always have problems with show through. I would probably choose the 5 layer type. Thanks for the great giveaway!
I have never found a washable pad that works- I use Lansinoh disposables, so if these did, (as I am nursing a 4 month old) that would be great!!! I would go with the 5 layer pads.
I like that they’re supposed to be no-show. I’ve been using Lansinoh nursing pads, which are plenty absorbent, but they bunch up and are definitely not invisible under clothing.
these look great…..I’m almost 3 months with my 8th and I think I will be trying these even if i don’t win them! The 4 layer pad in natural would be my pick!!!
5 layer pads before. I have an overproduction problem (I’m working on it by doing one sided nursing!) and I go through pads like nobodies business. I need something that can hold A LOT.
4 layer lace pads in white. These would be great to use with my tenth little one!

Thank you!
I’d love to try the 5 layer natural pads. I really dislike the disposables but have yet to find natural pads that didn’t leak or work as well.
I like that the Milk Diapers are kind to the environment. If I win, I would chose the 4 layer natural pads.
I LOVE washable Nursing pads… esp for overnight use.
4 or 5 layers are great… and the shaped option is really nice! No more “flying disc” look.
I’d love the 5 layer natural pads. We’re expecting our 7th child and by the time I finished nursing my last child our my pads were thread bare. It’s time for me to invest in some more.
Wow, these look great. The moisture guard ones look especially helpful!
I would love to try these. We are about to have baby #6 and I’ve yet to find a nursing pad that really worked like I wanted it to. I would like to try the 5 layer natural.
I would need the 5 layer and the moisture guard milk diapers, I think. Leakage is not pretty but these milk diapers sure are.
ohh, I would love some basic 4 layer (no lace)
Oh so hard to pick! The softness or absorbency? I am nursing our number 4 & having the worst time finding a nursing pad I like!! I would get the natural color lacey 4 layer ones!
I’ve tried washable pads before and didn’t like them (the milk would dry and the fabric would be stuck to my nipples!) … but for these I’d be willing to try again. Actually, I only need them the first 2 months of b-feeding a newbie, and my newbie is now 6 months. So if I win the give-away, they’ll go to my friend who’s due any day now. I think she would probably want the 5-layer natural.
I would love the XL moisture guard pads
I would like the moisture guard pads. I prefer to not leak through my shirt. Unfortunately I leak the whole time I’m bf. My little one is 3 weeks today so that would be great to win these.
I just had my first baby last Saturday, and bought the disposable ones to start with. I’d pick the 4 layer natural ones if I won!
I’m pregnant with my 5th and I have no idea where my nursing pads are! So I would really really like to win these. ; ) I think I’d pick the 4 layer natural ones, but sometimes I leak a lot, so maybe 5 layers… I love how they have so many different types!
I’d definitely go with the 5-layer moisture guard. Thanks for the giveaway!
I would choose the moisture guard ones b/c I need that waterproof layer. I love that they are contoured so they don’t show through.
I would love to try these and would probably choose the 4 layer…or maybe the lace. When I had my first baby I used the flat, paper-like disposables, and my husband would pick one up and ask, “What are these things? Coasters?”
And then when I’d ask for him to toss me a new “nursing pad” he’d look confused and ask “what?where?” I’d impatiently snap back, “A coaster! I need my coaster!”–and he knew immediately. 
I would choose the 4 layer pads in pink!
Thanks for offering this awesome giveaway!!
I would love to try these! I’ve only used disposable, and the thought that these could be washed, not show, and be oh so comfy – sign me up!
I’m expecting #7 soon, and would be blessed to try them out… thanks!
I just ordered the 4 layer pads (6pack)
AND the moisture guard pads (6pack)!!
SOOOO excited to get these! And It’s great that they are local (They are in Puyallup and I’m in Centralia)!
Oh and *if* I were to win….I would definetly get more of the moisture guard pads….I’ve got my 3rd babe due on Halloween and I tend to leak like a faucet…..lol.
