Geffen Baby Hemp Reusable Nursing Pads Review & Giveaway (5/23)

Like Geffen Baby’s prefolds and absorbers, their reusable nursing pads are 60% hemp, 40% organic cotton and 100% USA made.

As I have mentioned before, I have been working with Geffen Baby for the past 6 or so months on their product development and marketing. However, I purchased these nursing pads myself, I wasn’t asked to review them, I wasn’t compensated and this post is my opinion as a Mom, I’m not speaking on behalf of the company. 🙂

The nursing pads are available in 3 layers of hemp jersey or hemp fleece, and are really affordable at an MSRP of $7.99/3 pk (3 pair/6 pads) for jersey and $8.99 for fleece. They have the great benefits of hemp including the natural anti-microbial properties and high absorption.

Above, you see the nursing pads measured before I washed & dried them. Like any hemp product, they shrink a good bit, and become more absorbent with the first several washes.

Above you see the hemp jersey (left) and fleece (right) after I washed & dried them a few times to prep for use. I only washed one pair of each (since I’m saving the other 2 pair to give away!) but you can see that no two shrink exactly the same; that’s just the nature of hemp & isn’t a defect.

Above is a close up of the fleece after prep. Not quite as smooth but still very soft.

I thought about taking a picture of what these look like under clothing, but then I thought a close up of my chest might be weird. It’s times like this I wish I had a mannequin! In any case, I think these are thinner than a lot of disposable pads, and as long as I made sure they were completely within the cups and the material laid flat, I didn’t notice them through a lacy bra under a knit top. Of course, it would be better to wear them under a bra with a lining or foam so you don’t have to be as concerned about their placement.

I do not personally need a lot of absorbency from a nursing pad, so I didn’t test their capabilities in that sense, but I am sending the other pairs to two winners to try!
