Pigeon Ultra Slim (page 2 of 3)

Overall, they were a good buy as they hold alot of moisture and there are heaps in a box therefore you aren't buying as many boxes.
The Pads were extremely thin, holds alot of moisture.
Weren't very comfy, edges seem to rub on your skin & they're a little pricy

I had my husband buy a box every time he went grocery shopping so by the time the twins arrived I had more than enough, I even ended up with some left over when I stopped leaking, strangely enough I found I only leaked while wearing them in the end so it's always to good to check whether you still need to purchase this disposable item.
Very thin so you can't tell that you're wearing them, no smell, no wet patches on my clothes, stay stuck to feeding bra through multiple feeds
Can be quite expensive, felt guilty about the environment as each one is individually packaged in plastic (would prefer if they could package them in pairs if they really have to be wrapped).

I had a major flooding issue with breastfeeding and would only have to hear someone elses baby cry for a full let down to occur and these were the only ones that produced no odours from milk build up. Other brands would have me going through 4-5 sets in one day as they "filled" too quickly where as these would last up to 12 hours without any issues so only went through two sets a day.
Very thin, no odours, SUPER absorbent
Bit pricey - but found I had to use twice as many with the other brands so not really

I had very badly gazed nipples and these were the only breast pads that wouldn't stick to my nipples. They are the most absorbent pad I've used. They are comfortable and discreet.
Very thin and absorbent. Individually wrapped.
The price...nothing bad to say

I find these breast pads very good quality. They work really well and I know that I can always trust that they will not leak. They also never show through my clothes as they are ultra thin. They are also very comfortable to wear.
These breast pads are very thin & discreet. They have a plastic backing so that they do not leak through. They are wrapped in individual plastic wrappers so that they can be easily stored. They also stuck very well, unlike others that come loose.
They are a little more expensive than some brands but are quality, so worth it. Buying in bulk is more economical as well.

I really like these breast pads over others I have tried as they don't show through your clothing and are nice and slim so they mould to your breast well. They are very absorbent and if you can get them from the discount chemist they are quite cheap also.
Nice and thin, very discreet under all clothing. I like the plastic back that ensures the milk doesn't leak through. Comes in handy individual wrapping so you can keep them anywhere 'just in case'. Quite cheap from the discount chemist - 3 boxes of 24 for about $16.
I haven't found any so far.

I love these as they come individually wrapped (bad for the environment though) and always keep a couple in my handbag, nappy bag, car glove box etc. I found they were wonderful when I was going back to work or going out as they are so thin they are really discrete and don't give you that obvious round patch or strange shape some other can. They are also nice and big which when you're a larger breasted girl is vital. I didn't have any issues with leaks around the edges the way I did with some other brands.
Fantastic to wear under clothes and absorbent
More expensive than some options

Good product, value for money (although they are disposable, you get more in a box because they are thin), stays put and suitable wearing under all types of clothing.
Thin pads, good absorbancy and don't show under tight clothes, convenient in individual plastic wraps so you can take a couple in your handbag whenever you go out. Good sticking power so stays in place really well, I threw some others I tried out because they moved around too much.
The plastic backing was a bit sweaty, so needed frequent changing. I prefer cotton for longer wearing - such as for overnight or when exercising.

Brilliant product that is far superior to competitive products. When you're stocking up for your first pregnancy, it's nice to have knowledge of products that can be relied upon, and these definitely can be. This is baby #2 for me and I absolutely rely on these pads.
Great design compared to others: super slim, stay in place, don't show thru clothes, great absorbency through all the phases of breastfeeding, even the packaging is good: perforated individually wrapped pads make for easy access, especially important when you just come out of the shower & start leaking!
Nothing. (I buy mine from the Discount Chemist and they seem pretty reasonably priced.)

i was given these by a friend who didnt need them anymore and found them great but expensive so i stopped using them (plus i stopped breastfeeding)
not bulky, great absorbancy, easy to purchase at most supermarkets, adhesive is great
cost

I do like the Pigeon Ultra Slim breast pads. They are not too bulky, and have a fairly good absorbancy. The only time I have leaked is of a night when my breast are fuller and the baby misses or is late for a feed. This doesn't happen that often. I would have preferred washable breast pads but have not found any that have the absorbancy of the Pigeon so I have to keep going with the disposable. As far as disposables go I do think these are the best ones I have tried and would recommend these.
Not too bulky, fairly good absorbancy.
Adhesive section doesn't really work. Occasionally it does leak of a night.

When deciding what to buy I checked out Product Review and read that people were happy with them. I couldn't agree more! I've only ever used these and never had any leaks with them on. They are very discreet and comfortable - you forget you have them on! I would definitely use these again for next baby.
Excellebt absorbency, good size and are very slim - don't show through bra/clothes. Individually wrapped.
Cost - depending on where you can find them they can be quite expensive - I've paid between $14-18 for pack of 50. The adhesive section could be a little bigger.

Unfortunately these were a waste of money. They were incredibly uncomfortable causing my skin to itch after a couple of hours and I dont have sensitive skin. I have had more luck with cheaper, more "budget" breast pads.
The packaging looks nice, the pads appear to be of high quality, slim pads.
Itch, itch, itch. The sticky pads not being very sticky after a couple of hours. Expensive.

I bought these breast pads based on reviews here and also what was available at the Chemist and I was happy with the product. They had a special "30 for the price of 24" on the pack. I also tried material pads, which were terrible in comparison. I don't really use them now as at around 2 months my milk "supply and demand" balanced out so I don't leak anymore!
Slim thickness, large shape, absorbant gel inside, individually wrapped
The small rectangle of adhesive tape that is meant to attach to your bra is useless! But as they are large in size, they stay in place. Also, as it's sometimes hard to see which is the absorbant side, the unpeeled tape made it easy to see which side to put the pad in!

it's definitely my favourite breast pad! i've actually had very 'leaky' days where even though the pad was saturated, it still didn't leak much.
it's very slim and doesn't show through your clothes. the pad is also quite wide so covers leaks very well and is really absorbent
the plastic backing can be a bit uncomfortable, but it's worth it for the slimness of the pad

I was given a couple of boxes of these, and after having used the Pigeon Premium BreastPads, I thought these would be similar and better, but I was VERY DISAPPOINTED. The material was very coarse, it caused me to itch and made my already sensitive breasts and nipples worse withing 2 hours of wearing! I ended up throwing out the whole lot, I didn't even have the guts to give it to my other breastfeeding friends! I don't know why the outerlayer is so inferior and cheap in quality compared to it's premium counterpart, but stay away from this product!
Slim, so not obvious under your bra
unfortable, coarse feel - you really should avoid if you have sensitive or sore nipples or breasts.

Would use these again with next bub - some other pads were way to small and when they moved around I wouldn't notice then I would leak on to my clothes (not a good look!).
Large size which helps with coverage and it also means that they hardly move around - I found the size helped a lot compared to smaller ones. Very absorbant, and unlike other reviews I liked the individual packaging as it meant you could take only a couple with you (not the whole box) and know that they are still clean and safe to use for you and bub. I couldn't see them under any clothing I wore.
A little bit more expensive.

The large box of 50 is a convenient size to buy for me. I find that the pads stay put and don't tend to move or bunch up compared to other brands I've tried. They absorb adequately for my needs but most importantly they don't make my skin itch. I'll buy them again.
As the name suggests, the Pigeon Ultra Slim nursing pads are really thin compared to other brands I've tried. They do absorb well and are quite large. They don't make my breast skin itch anywhere near as much as the Rite-Aid version.
I hate the individual packaging - I feel that it in unnecessary and annoying to have to open up. It creates so much waste plastic.

These were a good breast pad avaliable in a good bulk amount at a good price, however, I found them of equal quality to the cheaper Rite-Aid pads. They are not the softest product out there and do have a tendancy to crease a little. I also found that they wern't sufficient for me overnight and I would end up leaking everywhere. If you are after something premium, go with something else, however, I would highly reccomend Rite-Aid as an alternative if you find these OK.
Thin. Well-priced.
More expensive than Rite-Aid but of comparable quality.

These pads are absorbant for thin pads but are annoying compared to the premium ones.They tend to crinkle up and move around in your bra.Quite often I would find I would end up looking like I had big lumpy breasts.WHen they crinkle milk tends to leak as well.Buy the premium ones instead.
Thin
They crinkle in your bra and go all lumpy.

These breast pads are the ones I use all the time. Wearing white tops to work means that I need something that doesn't show through, and these are by far my first choice. The only thing they could improve on is the single sticky part. If it had 2 sticky parts, it wouldn't move around so much inside your bra, and then after feeding or expressing, it wouldn't be so hard to rearrange.
Pigeon Ultra Slims are great. They are thin enough so you cant see them if you are wearing a thin bra, and are also pretty absorbant.
They can feel a bit scratchy sometimes, and if you rub the outside of them, they sound really papery.

These are the pads I use everyday and I would of course recommend them. Most days they are great but sometimes they lack in sufficient absorbency for my "fast flow breasts". I would like it if they were a little bigger (in diameter) and had two adhesive sections on each pad (like the premium version) but overall I have not found anything better. They are very similar to the Nuk pads that have the indicators on them (which I find redundant) but they are cheaper therefore they win out for me.
They are reasonably priced and reasonably absorbent whilst still being quite discreet
Can be lacking in absorbency, and they get a bit "crushed" when I fold my bra cup down for feeding.

i really like this product and after trying lots of breast pads, have found this to be the best for me. it is more expensive, and not as available as other brands but i feel that they are well worth it
really thin...not noticeable through clothes..stick in place..absorbant..soft and not bulky
more expensive..individually wrapped so not as good for environment

These are the best breast pads! I had to use breast pads through my whole 12months of breastfeeding due to highflow, and so I tried lots of brands. The reason I stuck with these is that they are the only ones big enough to cover my breasts adequately, and due to the sticky strip they don't move around like others. I never had any problem with them leaking. They are thin and nicely shaped so don't show through clothes much. I actually found them better than the premium ones as they are bigger in diameter and thinner.
Very absorbent; they stay in place; are large enough to cover big nipples; thin and lightly shaped so aren't really visible through clothes.

I was pleasantly surprised by these breast pads. I bought them as a less expensive alternative to the Johnson's brand. While not quite as soft as the latter, they were soft enough. The are really absorbent and keep the nipples nice and dry. I leak quite a lot and these handled it with no problems at all. The adhesive strip keeps them in place well. My only real gripe is that they are individually wrapped. This seems a little excessive to me. But it does mean that you can easily just through a couple in your bag for emergencies.
Very absorbent. Thin. Stay in place.
Individually wrapped.
