Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) 

How many pairs do I need?

With an average milk flow /let down, you will be fine with one set of Lanowool Breastfeeding pads.  If you have a lot of milk and often leak through, you will need two sets of Lanowool breastfeeding pads.  It may be a great idea to use two sets at once for extra absorbtion and / or alternatively use two sets for the night. 

Which size do I need? 

Regular size / 12 cm in diameter or the larger size / 15 cm in diameter.  Regular size suits a size 34-40 when not pregnant.  Size large / 15 cm is great for a shirt size 42+ or if you have a naturally bigger breast area. 

How often should I rinse / wash Lanowool ® breastfeeding pads? 

It  is recommended to wash Lanowool breastfeeding pads at 30 degrees every day in the beginning of the breasfeeding period.  When breast milk flow has stabilized, it is recommended to wash the pads minimum once a week.  5% shrinkage must be allowed. 

Can mothers that are wool sensitive use Lanowool® breastfeeding pads? Can the pads become too hot to use? 

Lanowool ® breastfeeding pads are produced of a very fine and thin merino wool thread, that should not be itchy.  Wool is a natural breathable product, that insulates your body temperature.  The pads can therefore be used in warm and cold weather conditions because wool is naturally an “insulator” and not a “heater”.
