How many times can they be used? Unlike other nursing pads,LilyPadz can be rinsed and reused over and over and should last at least two months with normal use and proper care. Just wash with mild soap (soaps like Dove and Softsoap are not recommended) and water, rinse, and air-dry before re-applying. Since LilyPadz dry almost instantly, you have no downtime in the laundry like other reusable nursing pads. (It’s recommended that you wash LilyPadz at least once a day or whenever they become soiled.) You can even sterilize your LilyPadz if desired. Just place in boiling water for 1-3 minutes (boiling longer may affect the tackiness).
How many should I buy? Most women have found that they like to have two pairs of LilyPadz – one to use and one spare pair.
