 Not much softer than regular Lansinoh pads. Dec 30, 2010
By Ashley Nicole Benson
I got these because the regular Lansinoh disposable pads (and every other nursing pad I've tried) felt scratchy to me. I didn't find these to be much better. They were bulkier and more padded but they were still scratchy (though not quite as bad) and showed through clothing worse than the regular pads. The sticky backs didn't stick as well either. All in all, I don't think they are worth the extra money. I'm going back to the regular pads. I don't think there is a perfect breast pad out there. I've tried all different kinds from disposable to washable and even though none of them are what I would like them to be, the regular Lansinoh pads are the best I've found - I like the sticky backs, I've never leaked through (I don't leak much, but just can't seem to ditch pads altogether), and I can wear them in a bra or a in nursing tank without a bra and you can't see them.

 These are terrible Aug 19, 2010
By JB
These are not "ultra soft" so please do not be misled. They also have a ridiculous amount of extra packaging because each pad is individually wrapped, which is not only annoying and inconvenient, but is also completely environmentally irresponsible. If you want soft, comfortable disposable breast pads, try Natracare. I bought a box at whole foods and was sooo much happier with them than these!!

soft and (relatively) thin Apr 06, 2008
By Simbolina
These keep me dry and they are much less obtrusive than the round disks (disposable and reusable). If you really need thin, go with Lily Padz. But I like this material for keeping me dryer. The sticky tape on the back isn't very strong, so i find they can bunch up a bit after I breastfeed.

Softer than regular Lansinoh pads, but not as good as Natracare Apr 10, 2012
By muff
Yes these are a bit bulky and they are individually wrapped, but they ARE much softer on the nips than the regular Lansinoh disposables. I agree that they don't feel much softer based on hand feel alone, but my nippes can certainly tell the difference - these are not nearly as irritating as the regular ones. At home I usually prefer using cotton washable/reusable pads (my favorite so far are the organic cotton TL Care pads available on Amazon...made by the same company that makes the American Baby Company bedding), but these are great when you need to have disposables (e.g. for bouts of thrush) and when you need to have a waterproof layer for better leak-through protection (e.g. going to work or otherwise leaving the house). Highly recommended. Tip: these are available for much cheaper (at least at the time of writing) at drugstore dot com...at that pricing they are almost the same cost per pad as the regular Lansinoh pads, so why wouldn't you get the softer ones?
ADDENDUM (added 4/24): Since writing this review I discovered Natracare brand disposable nursing pads .. very hard (and expensive) to find online, but carried at natural health food stores like Whole Foods, Mollie Stone's, etc. They run about $3.79 for a box of 25. I'm in LOVE with the Natracare pads! They are made of all natural materials (no plastic layer, no chlorine, etc) and are pillowy soft. Because they don't have a plastic layer, they are much more breathable than the Lansinoh pads (very important if you have thrush) .. they're much softer .. they're more natural.. the leakage protection is just as good 99% of the time (not sure how they manage this, given that there's no plastic layer, but somehow the protection is very good) .. and they're only marginally more expensive. Only downside I have found is they don't have any adhesive, so they tend to move around a little in my nursing bra, especially at night (in fact that's the only time I've had leakage - when they weren't properly positioned). They are far and away my favorite nursing pads. Highly recommend the Natracare pads - I'd only consider getting the Lansinoh (either the ultra soft or the normal variety) if you are extremely budget conscious and/or you really need the 100% waterproof layer.

Yes, you can tell the difference in softness May 13, 2011
By Kimmy in Valencia
Maybe not with your hands...but my sensitive nipples can absolutely feel these are softer than Lansinoh 20265 Disposable Nursing Pads, 60-pack.
I switched to the regular ones thinking I was saving money but turns out the unit price is the same when I buy these from my local baby store. ($6 for 36 vs $10 for 60 of the reg ones).
But these aren't perfect. The individual wrapping on these are weird that a piece sticks to the pad when you open it whereas the regular ones don't. Also, these are not as round as the regular one but I don't think it makes that much of a difference. Good absorbency and frankly both pads can be seen somewhat under clothes.
Overall, I would recommend these over the regular ones.
