Lansinoh Soothies Cooling Gel Pads offer hydrogel technology to supply cooling relief to cracked and sore nipples. Unfortunately, breastfeeding can lead to pain and discomfort as the nipples begin to lose moisture. Finding treatment is valuable so that moms can push through the pain and discomfort and continue to breastfeed their baby while the nipple tissue heals.
Made of moisture-rich glycerin, the Lansinoh Gel Soothies Nursing Pads lubricate and hydrate the nipple and prevent further drying. It's also safe for mom and baby and it's a vegan-friendly product. The glycerin gel is activated by moisture, such as breast milk, to keep mom dry while producing a moist healing environment. It also has a wonderful cooling effect to provide instant pain relief. In between uses, simply place Lansinoh Gel Soothies Nursing Pads in its storage tray and pop into the refrigerator for increased cooling relief.
Lansinoh Soothies Gel Pads for Breastfeeding are packaged with a set of two pads and a storage tray. Once the backing is removed, the pads are applied and reused for up to 72 hours. Other effective nipple moisturizing treatments may include applying Lanolin Nipple Cream. Although lanolin is a safe product to use, it should not be applied while the gel pads are worn because it can produce too much moisture and lead to skin maceration. Simply wipe off any lanolin before applying the gel pads if mom desires to use both products.
How to Use Soothies Gel Pads
Remove the backing and apply the gel side directly to the nipple. The material backing on the reverse side protects the nipple from bra friction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long can you use Lansinoh Gel Pads?

Who are Soothies Gel Pads recommended for?
It's ideal for breastfeeding moms who experience sore nipples and compromised tissue such as cracked or bleeding nipples.
Can Soothies be used to treat mastitis?

Can Lanolin nipple cream be applied while wearing the pads?
No, since the glycerin gel pad is activated with moisture, lanolin will add too too much moisture to the nipple and may cause maceration. If lanolin is already on the breast tissue, simply wipe off before applying the pads. If some lanolin remains, do not worry.
