Quick answer
Use Lansinoh Soothies Relief+ Cooling Gel Nipple Pads to soothe tender nipples after each nursing session. Place the pad directly on the nipple, replace the pad after each use, and store it in the refrigerator for extra cooling relief.
Why cooling gel pads help sore nipples
The early days of breastfeeding can leave nipples feeling tender and sensitive. Cooling gel pads provide a gentle, refreshing sensation that helps you feel more at ease between feedings. The Lansinoh Soothies Relief+ pads are designed specifically for this purpose, offering a soft gel layer that conforms to your skin without sticking.
When to use them for best results
For maximum comfort, apply the pads immediately after nursing, when nipples are most sensitive. The cooling effect helps reduce the feeling of tenderness. You can also chill the pads in the refrigerator (not freezer) before first use for an extra-soothing experience. Avoid using them on broken or bleeding skin unless advised by a healthcare provider.
How to use Soothies Relief+ Cooling Gel Nipple Pads
- Prepare the pad: Remove the pad from its packaging. For extra cooling, place the pad in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before first use. Do not freeze. Check that the pad is at a comfortable temperature before applying to avoid shocking sensitive skin.
- Apply after nursing: Gently place the cooling gel pad directly over your nipple, with the gel side against your skin. The pad should cover the entire nipple and areola. Wear inside your bra to keep it in place. Do not reuse the same pad for multiple sessions—replace with a fresh pad each time to maintain hygiene and cooling effectiveness.
- Remove and store: After 20–30 minutes, or when the pad no longer feels cool, remove it. Discard single-use pads. If using reusable pads, follow the manufacturer's cleaning instructions. Always wash your hands before handling pads to prevent introducing bacteria to sensitive nipple skin.
