KeaMommies Tips

These washable nursing pads can be placed in a wash bag and washed in lukewarm water or cold water. You can also hand wash the nursing pads by getting water mildly sudsy and soaking the pads. After washing, rinse wool pads gently with lukewarm water to remove soap and bacteria. Give them a brisk shake to get out excess water, then place the pads in a towel and give them a quick roll to help them regain their shape. Lay pads on a towel to dry. You can also use a mild heat source, such as a lightly warm radiator, to speed up drying without damaging the wool. For hygiene maintenance, you can use a microwave to sterilize the pads by microwaving them on high for 2-3 minutes; either a microwave or other sterilization method can be used to effectively remove bacteria and yeast.

They can be cleaned on machine wash warm with other laundry, like nursing tops. Put them in a wash bag to avoid losing them in the laundry. Too much heat can damage the absorbency of the pads, so try to avoid cycles that use hot water or drying on hot in a dryer. Use low temperature settings for tumble drying or ironing, as indicated by care labels.

Pre-Wash Instructions for Breast Pads

Before you toss your reusable nursing pads into the wash, taking a few extra moments for pre-wash care can make a big difference in their performance and longevity. Start by rinsing your washable breast pads gently in cold water as soon as possible after use. This helps remove excess breast milk and prevents bacteria and odor from building up, keeping your pads fresh and your skin healthy.

If your nursing pads have a waterproof outer layer or are made with wool fibers, avoid using hot water during rinsing. Hot water can damage the waterproofing and affect the natural lanolin content in wool, which is essential for maintaining softness and antibacterial properties. For woolen pads, consider adding a small amount of lanolin soap to lukewarm water to help replenish the lanolin and keep the fibers in top condition.

Always check the care label on your breast pads for any special instructions, especially if you’re using pads with extra absorbency or unique materials. Some washable nursing pads may benefit from a brief soak in lukewarm water before washing, which helps loosen any dried milk and makes washing more effective.

When it comes to detergents, skip the fabric softeners and bleach, these can interfere with the absorbency and waterproofing of your pads. Instead, choose a mild, baby-safe detergent that’s gentle on both your skin and the pads themselves.

Once you’ve rinsed and pre-treated your nursing pads, place them in a wash bag before machine washing on a warm, gentle cycle. This protects the pads from getting lost or damaged among other laundry items. If you prefer, you can also hand wash your pads in lukewarm water, gently squeezing (not wringing) to avoid damaging the fibers.

By following these pre-wash steps, you’ll help your washable nursing pads stay absorbent, soft, and reliable, ready to protect against leakage and keep you comfortable day and night. With a little extra care, your nursing pads will remain a handy, eco-friendly companion throughout your breastfeeding journey.

Before Washing: 

Start the washing process for the nursing pads within 1–2 hours after use. First, soak and rinse them in clean, room-temperature or warm water (below 86°F) for 10–15 minutes. Do not rub the nursing pads, as this may damage or deform the fibers and affect absorbency.

During Washing:

Use a baby-safe detergent or mild, phosphate-free laundry detergent. Hand washing is preferred, but you can also use a washing machine.

If machine washing, place the pads in a laundry bag, use the “delicate” or “gentle” cycle, and wash them separately to avoid contamination or damage. Try to avoid throwing the nursing pads in with other clothes, and be sure to use cool or warm water.

After Washing:

When they are done washing, air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight and do not tumble dry at high temperatures. Ensure the pads are completely dry before storing.

Storage:

Store the nursing pads separately in a clean & dry bag. It is recommended to replace them with a new batch every 3–6 months for maximum absorbency and cleanliness.
