Medela Hydrogel Nipple Protect Bandages 4 Pack

Why use Medela Hydrogel Breast Pads?
Medela Hydrogel Breast Pads are used to soothe and relieve sensitive or sore nipples during breastfeeding. They provide instant cooling relief and keep the skin hydrated, creating a favourable environment for skin repair and improving comfort between feeds.

How long should I leave the Medela Hydrogel Breast Pad on?
Each hydrogel pad is designed to be used over a 24-hour period. You can remove it before feeding and place it back on its plastic backing. The same pad can be reapplied several times throughout the day to provide continuous relief.

Do I need to clean my nipple before feeding after using a pad?
No, this is not usually necessary. Medela Hydrogel Breast Pads are made primarily of water and glycerine and do not contain any substances that are harmful to your baby. There is therefore no need to rinse your breast before feeding.

Can the pads be kept in the fridge?
Yes, for an even more intense cooling sensation and enhanced soothing effect, you can store the hydrogel pads in the fridge before applying them. This additional coolness can provide welcome relief on inflamed or particularly sensitive skin.

When can I start using these pads?
Hydrogel breast pads can be used from the first signs of discomfort or nipple sensitivity related to breastfeeding. They support mothers in continuing to breastfeed more comfortably, particularly during the initial establishment phase.
