Gel pad things to help sore boobs?

[Sherley]

Got a friend really struggling with sore nipples. I've given her my lansinoh etc and she has support from bf counsellor but I remember reading on here about some gel pad things that could soothe the pain, can anyone enlighten me?! TIA x

I used gel pads for one day. It was very soothing while they were on, but they stick to your nipples. When you already have really sore, tender nipples, the last thing you want to do is peel a sticky pad off of them.

I loved the hydra- gel pads. Put them in the fridge for a bit beforehand and they are bliss. I used lansinoh and gel pads. She may also want to look at breast shells which keeps everything away from the nipple so it has some airflow and stops material rubbing on it.

multimam gel pads. When I was bleeding at the hospital that is what I put on them.

a midwife that helped me with be after birth told me to put green Savoy cabbage leaves from the fridge to relief sore nipples. it definitely works plus it's cheap.
