Soothingly soft washable pads made with organic merino wool. Designed by a Danish nurse, these organic wool breast pads were made to be a newborn necessity.
Made of KbT-certified organic merino wool, interwoven in a special, patented method.
This style “Softline” comes in 2 variations, Regular (1/3 inch thick) and Extra Thickness (5/8 inch). Each is very soft and can easily compressed between thumb and finger
Untreated wool can absorb up to 40% of its weight in moisture, without feeling wet. When damp, the pads feel warm, rather than cold and clammy, as with cotton or disposable breast pads.
Particularly soothing with vasospasms.
Scandinavian midwives have traditionally advised breastfeeding mothers to keep their breasts warm to prevent plugged ducts. Larger sizes provide gentle, soothing warmth for this purpose. Intended to fill the entire bra cup, they are actually less noticeable through clothing.
Wool breathes, to maintain comfortable temperature in warmth or cold (including air-conditioned environments). Wool’s natural oil, lanolin, provides self-cleansing properties for easy care. Wash occasionally, on average every couple weeks, with lanolin-replenishing soap, to optimize wool’s unique properties.
The wool pads can be used together with lanolin and other ointments, commonly used in breastfeeding.
Even women who feel they are allergic to wool can often wear these pads – many react to the chemicals used to extract lanolin from the wool; no such chemicals are used on this wool.
Sold as set of 2 pads (one pair). Available in a variety of sizes and styles to suit each woman’s needs.
UAB LNA-LANACARE
LANACare’s soothingly soft, reusable nursing pads, in organic merino wool, were specially designed by a Danish nurse. The pads are made of interwoven wool fibers, making them light-weight and absorptive. Many find them more comfortable than disposables or cotton – wool absorbs the milk, keeping skin dry, and breathes, to maintain comfortable temperature in warmth or cold. These are new mom essentials!
Most women need only 2-3 pairs for entire nursing period. Wool’s self-cleansing properties prolong need for washing. Wool’s natural oil, lanolin is activated as the wool absorbs moisture. Wash, on average every couple weeks with lanolin-replenishing woolwash to maintain wool’s unique properties.
Scandinavian midwives have traditionally advised breastfeeding mothers to keep their breasts warm to help prevent plugged ducts. Larger sizes provide gentle, soothing warmth and are intended to fill the entire bra cup. Wool’s breathability and temperature-regulating properties maintain a comfortable temperature against skin.
Mini, 3.5 inch diameter. Regular thickness. Sold as set of 2 pads-1 pair. Most often recommended as extra layer within larger pad for women who leak heavily or for Cup size A. Next size up may be less noticeable, filling entire bra cup.
Women find these soothing with any soreness associated with breastfeeding, particularly vasospasms. Designed by Danish nurse. Imported by lactation consultant.

My absolute favorite nursing pads from a mom of 3
These wool pads are life changing. They are so comfortable, so warm, you don’t have to change them as often as disposable or cotton pads, they significantly cut down the time I had to suffer with clogged ducts (I still get them occasionally but they go away within a day instead of three or four days). Also if you have an issue and contact LANAcare, they have the absolute best customer service. Just remember to wash them in warm water. I washed them in cold and my original batch of pads shrunk a bit. I love wool!

The SOFTEST and MOST COMFORTABLE period. Do yourself a favor and have these on hand!
The softest padding for my sensitive nipples the first few weeks of breastfeeding. They aren’t very absorbent but their softness is unmatched and so comfortable. At first I felt like they were too large but I later realized that the full coverage was really really nice. They also don’t hold a smell at all! I have purchased these for several other friends. I would definitely purchase again!

Great for hiking!
I am an avid hiker and a big fan of anything wool. Problem is, all of my bras, including the wool one and the supposedly high performing, moisture wicking, whatever bras have polyester-kind paddings, rendering all the “moisture wicking” features useless.I just finished an overnight hike where the temperature during the day rose to over 100 degrees. These guys did great, no more sweat running down between my girls. They dried quickly and no smell at all. They feel super warm, so I had my qualms, but they were just perfect.Since they are made for breastfeeding, they are naturally larger. I bought the 6 inches, and while they fit perfectly into my Under Armour bra they are a bit large for my Icebreaker one so potentially the 5 inches would have been sufficient for my purpose.

Game changer
After suffering from all of the breastfeeding ailments in the first 6 weeks (mastitis, blebs, recurrent clogs, vasospasms, blisters, poor latch…), these have helped me turn a corner. Vasospasms were causing significant pain and were my main lingering issue. My midwife suggested I get wool pads before we try medication. I didn’t think they’d do much, but have been so impressed with the relief they provide. The pads are huge, but I think they need to be so that they cover a large portion of the breast to provide warmth. I almost wish I sized up so that they cover the whole thing. At night, I still need to put a fleece blanket over my chest for extra warmth. At this point, I’ve only been using them for insulation since I don’t leak much, so I can’t say much about how they were for leaking. If you get vasospasms, I wouldn’t hesitate to try these.

Great reusable pads
These were great to have when my supply was still regulating itself. They are soft and warm and I only had to wash them with wool wash once every couple of weeks. In my experience, what I read about wool pads proved true. I wore wool pads from the moment my milk came in and did not have dry or cracked nipples and only had one incident of a plugged milk duct. Could be coincidence, or could be that wool is really that helpful when breastfeeding! I tried both the regular and extra thick pads and the regular were best for me (I would wake up sweating when wearing the thicker ones). I’m a size 36b and the 6in diameter worked well for me. I also liked having 2 pairs so that while one pair was being washed/air dried, I had another to wear. The air dry can take a while since they aren’t recommended to dry in direct sunlight. All in all I’m happy I went with this reusable natural fiber option!

Great absorbency
These breast pads are definitely the most absorbent I have ever come across. They are also so soft and extremely comfortable to wear in your bra. One issue I came across was having some fibers left on my nipples when I went to feed. Also I accidentally put my first pair in the dryer and ruined them (but that was my fault for not checking my dirty laundry well enough).

Amazing customer service!
I purchased a pair of the Ekstra in the small size. For reference, I am a large B, small C (when engorged). I have a strong let down and after reading the reviews decided the Ekstra was the obvious way to go. When I received the pads, I was shocked at how big they were! I thought for sure I would have to exchange them for the XS, but once I put them on, they fit perfect, to my surprise. While I was nursing my son, I had a strong let down and the pad on my other breast was soaked and I leaked through (not the entire pad, just the bottom). I was so bummed because these pads feel amazing!!!! And I really love the fact that they are all natural wool, instead of something synthetic or bleached. The Lansinoh disposable pads I had been using were making me itchy, which is also another reason I wanted to switch to these wool pads. So, I called Danish Wool directly and spoke to the husband and owner of the company. He was super knowledgeable and after explaining my situation, he recommended that I layer the pad with a mini (which is 3 1/2 inches in diameter) until the baby is a little older. Apparently the let down is stronger in the beginning. He was so kind and just awesome to talk to. I am super excited to receive the mini. Once I have a chance to use it with that, I will update my review. As of now, still giving this product 5 stars because even when wet, you can hardly feel that it’s even there. Very cool! And I think I need to use it a few times anyways to really break the product in and have it be at its most absorbent. On a side note, the same exact thing happened with the Aiden and Anais 100% cotton bibs I purchased for my first son. Apparently they needed a few washes/uses before they were fully absorbent, and this appears to be the same issue with the wool pads. Natural fibers work differently from synthetic and unfortunately a lot of us aren’t acustomed to using 100% natural products in today’s day and age.

These are soft and good for warmth but they fail on basic functionality – they leak! I also use cotton, bamboo, and disposable nursing pads with no leaking at all but these soak straight through and on to clothes. I would not buy again and feel I’ve wasted my money – they were expensive too! Seller was not helpful when I contacted them regarding the product’s performance. Although they help with Vasospasm / Reynaud’s and sore nipples I will have to seek an alternative or double up with another kind of pad which will be rather bulky. What a shame!
Amazin’ Customer –
Love them! They’re soft and not at all scratchy, keep my boobs warm so my nipples aren’t tensely contracted when I go to feed in a cold place (which would make it harder for baby to latch and inhibit letdown), keep nipples dry to prevent thrush-friendly conditions, and stop leaks getting through to my clothes.However, I’m knocking off a star because I can’t use them alone. I tend to leak a lot from the opposite side while feeding. These wool pads just don’t absorb the milk quickly enough, so it runs down the inside and soaks the bottom of my bra instead. Washing the pads made no difference to absorbency. I now line them with a cotton or bamboo pad during a feed, and wear them alone the rest of the time as they are absorbent enough to contain occasional leaks between feeds.

Lana morbidissima e piacevole. Sono molto comode perché più grandi delle coppette che si trovano di solito, però non assorbono molto.se si hanno perdite di latte abbondanti i vestiti si bagnano.

Synthetic cheap garbage from China. This is NOT the actual advertised product. Returning 100%

I had a particularly bad start to my breastfeeding journey and while my nipples were healing from cracks/trauma I developed vasospasm. My nipples were very sensitive/hurt all the time and the bamboo pads that came with my nursing bras were not cutting it for comfort.I panic ordered and tested a lot of relief items. I found these pads helpful for when I was out and about but not so much sleeping or between nursing. I found when at home a mini hot water bottle provided better relief between feedings.These pads did provide some relief! But looking back I don’t think it was a game changer or anything.Look up cleaning instructions before you buy as well.
