Lansinoh Washable Nursing Pads, 10 Count

Important note on nursing pads

Nursing pads are close-contact and often worn for extended periods. When I’m choosing them, I pay close attention to the materials used—especially the layers that sit directly against the skin. In an imperfect, highly processed world, reusable nursing pads can be a next-best option for low-tox living because you’re reducing single-use waste while still choosing something with clearer material claims.

What I avoid / What I look for

With nursing pads, I focus on what I can verify from labels and brand websites. I look at the type of material used, especially for the skin-contact layer, and avoid added fragrance, colorants or dyes, parabens, bisphenols like BPA, and petroleum-based ingredients such as petrolatum or mineral oil. Clear material breakdowns and recognizable certifications matter to me in this category.

Product description

Lansinoh Washable Nursing Pads are reusable pads designed for leak protection with a contoured shape for comfort. The brand states the layer that touches the skin is made from organic bamboo viscose that is USDA Certified Organic and OEKO-TEX Standard 100 Certified. The pads are described as having three layers: a microfiber core that wicks moisture and a waterproof outer layer that helps prevent leaks. The set includes 10 pads and a wash bag.

Certifications and testing

USDA Certified Organic bamboo viscose skin-contact layer (brand stated).
OEKO-TEX Standard 100 (brand stated).

What I like

I like that the brand clearly identifies the material used against the skin and ties it to recognizable certifications. I also appreciate that these are reusable and come with a washbag, making them more practical for consistent use during the postpartum period.

Things to keep in mind

Because these are reusable, having enough pads on hand helps avoid constant laundry. I also pay attention to how they’re washed—using a low-tox laundry detergent and avoiding heavy fragrance or fabric softeners helps keep the pads gentler on skin over time.
