Bamboobies Nursing Pillow with Flaxseed and Heat/Cold Compress for Breastfeeding Comfort

Gabrielle: These are great! They hold heat for a pretty long while and really help with tenderness. Definitely buy them!

Matthew: Do flax seeds truly help? Not sure, but warmed up they feel great and get her ready before sessions with our little one

Carlyn Lawatsch: These are great for the 5-10 mins that they work. They loose heat/cold effect quickly and are heavy and bulky to wear in a bra. Great on eyes too!

Kayla Dinelle: These feel great but the only con is that you can't throw them in the wash. You have to spot clean them with little to no water as theres seeds inside. Its hard not to get breastmilk on them when using the heat so for this reason I wouldn't reccomend.

Rebecca Lauren: These are just wonderful. I love the scent they have when warmed, and the material they're made with is sooo soft. They feel wonderful on my sore breasts (my milk is just coming in and I'm experiencing some engorgement) and I also love the set of breast pads that were included. What an excellent product. As a bonus, I've been warming one up to place on my newborn's chest during diaper changes as I feel the weight and the heat are calming for him. He was definitely significantly less fussy with this on his chest. Diaper changes are cold for babies! I also warmed one up and placed on his belly to help soothe him as he has been having some gas. So these are some lovely bonus uses for this product! Highly recommend.

Matt dEntremont: Only washing instructions I could find said "bambooboes" could be washed. After washing everything is covered in an oozy gel. After digging through the website, I found the "boob-eaze" has a big "DO NOT WASH" on it.

I've since found a "Do not get wet ❤️" on the package, but for something so crucial, this should be a big warning on this amazing listing, as well as the very first item on your FAQ (when I Google Bamboobies wash instructions, it tells me washing is ok - you should look into fixing/clarifying this). Are the flax seeds going to sprout on the other clothes I washed with these, or just inside the pads?

If not washing is this important, the instructions should be very clear on box, especially when half of the box contents can be washed.

Nicole: These are actually great. I got these because my breasts always hurt during my cycle. And I was desperate to find some relief.
These cover my whole breast. (Including the sides which is nice)
Even without heating or cooling them, they are wonderfully comforting as they create a cushion around your nipple.
They are super soft. They have a smooth velvet side and a soft Jersey side. I like the Jersey side because you get a bit more payoff for whichever temp you choose to make it.

I really actually love these and I'm glad I splurged.

Kimberly: Bigger than I expected. Currently on my breast. Some unevenness with the content inside. Smells like bird food when heated up. However. It really is soothing. So I guess it does the job. The free breast pads are super luxurious though. Love them. Cute brand just expensive

Making Time for MemoriesMaking Time for Memories: These have been on my wishlist for some time now so when they came back in stock I ordered them immediately. While establishing milk production in the first few weeks of nursing a newborn, it can be difficult and at times very sore. These soothing therapy pillows are great and really easy to use. I'm not a fan of using these for a cooling effect, but that's simply because I don't like cold things touching me. I did try it, however, and it stays cool for a bit while in place. So if you're looking for cooling relief, these definitely do the job.

I prefer to use them for a warming relief and to get my milk flowing. I put them in the microwave for about 2 minutes so they'd get nice and warm, and I have to say, it felt great when I put them in place. On one occasion I had just finished pumping and then used these for about 5-7 minutes. I went back to pumping right after and actually expressed an additional half an ounce. If you're a nursing mother, you know how valuable even an extra half an ounce can be. I was super excited about this. The warming effect must have opened up some clogged milk ducts or simply helped to get the milk flowing.

The pillows are very large, a...

muff: I almost didn't buy these because they were so expensive, but if you are looking for top-of-the-line hot/cold packs (I was willing to pay pretty much anything to resolve my clogged ducts ASAP) these are worth it. They are definitively better than others I've seen on the market. The material is super soft, and they are extra large to cover more of the breast. I also bought the "Gerber Breast Therapy Warm or Cool Relief 2 Reusable Packs" (also very highly rated), and these are infinitely nicer and softer. I can't compare to the Earth Mama Booby Tubes as I didn't buy those, but my guess is that these would retain heat/cold longer since they are a bit thicker.

If you are dealing with the pain of engorgement or clogged ducts/mastitis, these are a totally worthwhile purchase!

UPDATE 3/16: I recently pulled these out again for use with my second child, as I ran into the same clogged ducts issue again. I felt the telltale signs in the morning, and (as an experienced clogged ducts person) leapt into action (absolutely critical to minimize the damage). I nursed and pumped repeatedly, each time using this as a warm compress (microwaved for 30sec) for a few minutes beforehand to...
