When should you use these pads to stay dry?
Mam Nursing Pads are disposable pads designed to be slipped into your bra. They catch milk that leaks from your breasts between feedings, during the let-down, or when one breast leaks while your baby is nursing from the other.
Their absorbent core consists of three inner layers that trap the milk: these pads are ultra-absorbent to keep you dry, without leaving a wet spot on your top or bra. They protect your clothes without replacing nipple care, which remains a separate step.
A soft outer layer covers the absorbent core. The pads are extra-thin—invisible under clothing, even under a form-fitting top. They’re also soft and breathable against the skin, which matters when you wear them from morning to night.
Two non-slip adhesive strips attach to the inside of the bra and ensure optimal support: the pad doesn’t slip when you move, carry your baby, or sleep. They’re perfect for both workdays and outings with your baby.
In the first few weeks after giving birth, milk leaks often coincide with postpartum discharge. For this reason, we recommend Nuk disposable maternity panties: also single-use, they address the other hygiene needs of this period with the same “wear and toss” approach.

Precautions
- Single-use only: Never reuse a pad, even if it is only slightly damp.
- Change the pad as soon as it becomes damp. Prolonged moisture on the nipple can lead to maceration and skin irritation.
- The adhesive strips should be attached to the bra, never directly to the skin.
- If you apply a balm or cream to the nipple, allow it to absorb before putting on a clean pad.
- If you experience redness, itching, or discomfort when the pad comes into contact with your skin, stop using it.
- Nipple pain, a cracked nipple, a hard, warm, or red breast, or a fever require consultation with a midwife, doctor, or lactation consultant.
- Dispose of used pads in the trash, not in the toilet.
- Store the box in a dry place. Keep out of reach of children, including packaging and adhesive strips.

Our expert advice on Mam nursing pads
At the counter, the mistake we hear most often is keeping an ultra-absorbent pad in place as long as it doesn’t leak. Its surface stays dry to the touch, while the nipple remains in a warm, moist environment. During the first few weeks, it’s the frequency of changes—much more than the absorbency—that protects the skin: among the precautions on this page, this is the one to start practicing from day one.
Leaks are often heaviest while milk production adjusts to the baby’s needs; for many moms, they become less frequent afterward. Keep a few nursing pads in the diaper bag in addition to the box at home; the individual packaging keeps them clean. If one breast leaks while the baby is nursing from the other, slip a nursing pad into that bra cup before the feeding: this will save you from having to change your top every time.
FAQ
How many Mam Nursing Pads should I use per day?
The number varies from mom to mom and from week to week. When you first start breastfeeding, leaks may require several pairs throughout the day. Once your milk supply is established, one pair may be enough for the day—or just for the night.
Can I wear Mam Nursing Pads at night?
Yes. At night, the interval between feedings is longer and your breasts fill up: leaks are often most noticeable when you wake up. A night bra or a soft sports bra is sufficient to secure the pad.
Can I use Mam Nursing Pads during pregnancy?
Yes. Toward the end of pregnancy, a few drops of colostrum may leak from the nipple in some women. The pads protect your underwear just as they do after giving birth.
Should I choose disposable pads like Mam Nursing Pads or washable pads?
The two complement each other. Disposable pads, individually wrapped, are ideal for outings, overnight use, and periods of heavy leakage, when you need to change them frequently. Reusable pads can be washed and reused; you’ll need to have enough on hand to account for drying time.
