Quick answer
Peel the backing, press the adhesive strip onto your bra cup, center the contoured pad over your nipple, and smooth it flat. Replace pads as soon as they feel damp to prevent skin irritation.
Why correct placement matters
A nursing pad that shifts or bunches can cause leaks and discomfort. The contoured shape of Ameda MoistureGuard pads is designed to follow your breast's natural curve, but only if you align it properly inside your bra.
When to change your pad
Leaving a wet pad against your skin increases the risk of soreness or thrush. Change pads at every feeding, or sooner if you feel moisture. For overnight use, consider swapping once mid-sleep if you tend to leak heavily.
How to use Ameda MoistureGuard nursing pads
- 1. Prepare the pad: Wash and dry your hands. Remove one pad from the wrapper and unfold it. The contoured side (with the slight dome) faces your breast. Check that the pad is not twisted or crumpled before peeling the backing.
- 2. Attach to your bra: Peel off the backing strip to expose the adhesive. Press the adhesive firmly onto the inside of your bra cup, centered where your nipple will rest. If the pad shifts after a few minutes, the adhesive may not have bonded well—press again firmly.
- 3. Position and smooth: Place the bra against your breast so the pad's contoured center aligns with your nipple. Smooth the edges of the pad against your bra fabric to remove any wrinkles or air pockets. A wrinkled pad can create pressure points or cause the pad to fold, leading to leaks.
- 4. Wear and check: Wear the pad as long as it feels dry. Check periodically by pressing gently on the outside of your bra—if it feels damp, replace the pad immediately. Never wait until the pad is soaked; dampness against the skin can cause irritation.
- 5. Remove and discard: Peel the pad away from your bra and discard it in the trash. Do not flush nursing pads, as they can clog plumbing. If adhesive residue remains on your bra, wipe it off with a damp cloth before washing.
