Reusable Organic Contoured Breast Pads 6 Pack

Nursing bras with built-in absorbent layers can feel like a convenient all-in-one solution, but once they become wet from leaking, the moisture stays trapped against your skin until you change the entire bra. For many breastfeeding mothers — particularly in the early weeks when leaking is frequent and unpredictable — that can mean sitting in damp fabric for hours or going through multiple bras a day. Separate breast pads give you the flexibility to change just the pad whenever you need to, keeping yourself fresh and dry without the inconvenience of a full bra change. They also allow you to choose the bra or crop that feels most comfortable for you, rather than being locked into a specific style. Mammae's certified organic reusable pads are slim, contoured, and designed to sit discreetly inside any nursing bra — so you get the absorbency where you need it, with the freedom to swap them out as often as your day demands.

Most reusable breast pads on the market are flat, circular designs that bunch, scrunch, and create visible bulk under a bra — shifting out of place throughout the day. Mammae's pads are cut to a curved, contoured shape that follows the natural form of the breast, sitting flush and discreet without folding or rippling. We don’t just claim to be organic, Mammae's reusable breast pads are certified under both GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Class I — two of the world's most rigorous textile certifications. GOTS verifies the entire supply chain, from raw fibre to finished product, ensuring genuinely organic cultivation, ethical manufacturing, and the absence of harmful chemical processing. OEKO-TEX Class I is the highest safety classification available, meaning the fabric has been independently tested and cleared as safe for direct contact with baby skin.

The 10cm pads are designed for discreet daytime wear — they sit subtly under a nursing bra and are suitable for light to moderate leakage. The 12cm pads offer a larger surface area and are ideal for heavier leakage, overnight protection, or the early postpartum days when milk supply is still establishing and leaking tends to be more unpredictable. If you are unsure which size to choose, we recommend starting with both — 10cm for daytime and 12cm for overnight.

The breast pads are designed for long-term reusability. With proper care, machine washing on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 40 degrees celsius and air drying or tumble drying at very low heat, they will maintain their absorbency and integrity across hundreds of washes throughout your breastfeeding journey and beyond.

Yes. Many mothers layer the contoured breast pads over the top of their silver nursing cups for added leak-proof protection, particularly when leaving the house or during heavier flow periods. The unique contoured shape sits comfortably over the cup and provides an additional absorbent layer beneath your nursing bra.

Yes. Some women begin leaking colostrum during the second or third trimester. The breast pads are suitable for use at any stage — during pregnancy, the immediate postpartum period, and throughout your entire breastfeeding journey. They provide discreet, comfortable protection for unexpected leakage at every stage.

The breast pads are dual certified: GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Certified Organic and OEKO-TEX Standard 100, Class I. Class I is the strictest testing grade available, meaning the textiles have been tested free of over 100 toxic substances and are certified safe for use with infants and children under three. These certifications provide the highest level of assurance for materials in direct contact with your skin and your baby.

Each pad is engineered with three ultra-absorbent, fast moisture-wicking layers, withholding up to 40ml of breast milk. The inner and core layers are organic bamboo and cotton for softness and absorbency, while the outer layer is a waterproof material to prevent leaks through to your clothing. This construction is suitable for both light and heavy leakage.

Place the pads inside the organic cotton wash bag provided. Machine wash on a delicate cycle at a maximum of 40 degrees. Air dry flat in the sun or tumble dry at very low heat. Avoid fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh detergents, as these can compromise the absorbency and integrity of the organic fibres. Wash before first use.

From both an environmental and comfort perspective, reusable pads offer significant advantages. Disposable breast pads create ongoing waste and often contain harmful synthetic fibres that can irritate sensitive postpartum skin. Mammae's reusable pads are certified organic, naturally hypoallergenic, antimicrobial, and free from toxins, providing a healthier and safer option for both mother, baby and the planet.. Over the course of a breastfeeding journey, one 6-pack of reusable pads replaces hundreds of disposable pads.

Yes. The contoured shape is specifically designed to follow the natural curve of the breast, sitting securely inside a well-fitting nursing bra without bunching, folding, or shifting. Unlike flat breast pads that can scrunch and expose areas of the bra to leakage, the contoured design maintains full coverage and a discreet profile throughout the day.

Yes. The inner layer is made from GOTS-certified organic bamboo and cotton, which is naturally soft, hypoallergenic, and gentle against even the most tender, cracked, or healing nipple tissue. The organic certification ensures the fibres are free from chemical treatments, dyes, and synthetic finishes that could cause further irritation.
