"These Nursicare pads are wonderful"
Nursicare pads upgraded my practice and solved one of the breastfeeding mothers’ major difficulties, which sometimes causes women to stop breastfeeding. These women with damaged nipples couldn’t hold their babies due to severe pain, but felt significant pain relief only six hours after applying Nursicare breast pad. This constant pain was a big obstacle, because even while not nursing, many women couldn’t handle the pain – let alone when nursing. Also, the healing process of the nipple layer of skin was so much faster than before.

"Nursicare’s pads are a unique, incredibly effective solution to a common problem"
One of the main reasons mothers discontinue breastfeeding is pain, but by using Nursicare, mothers won’t have to make that difficult choice. I have seen Nursicare in action in my practice and there is truly nothing like it.

"I hear enthusiastic feedback regarding the use of Nursicare pads"
It’s important for me to tell my experience with Nursicare breast pads for the past year and a half. I hear from many of my patients enthusiastic feedback regarding the use of Nursicare pads. The pads are so magical, easy to use and do not stain the bra or the garment as some of the creams do. The improvement in the healing process is so fast and the pain reduction as well. I recommend them even when there is no visible problem but there is significant sensitivity or pain on the nipples.

How to Use
The ease of Nursicare
1. Soothing pain relief
Wipe the nipple and surrounding area with a slightly damp cloth.
2. Position the pad
With the label side facing outward, place a sterile pad inside your bra, centered over the nipple area.
3. Nurse your baby
Prior to breastfeeding or pumping, remove the pad and wipe the breast with a clean, damp cloth.
4. Use again
Our pads are designed to be used several times. Simply place the pad back inside your bra after nursing.
5. Change the pad
When the pad becomes saturated, throw it out. You will know it’s time when the liquid held inside becomes visible through the label side.

Yes. To ensure safety for mothers and babies, Nursicare pads have passed regulatory review for user safety and clearance in all the countries where sold. In addition, PolyMem, the material used in our nursing pads, has been used safely and effectively for over 25 years. Learn more about Polymem dressings at polymem.com.
-
The soothing ingredients in Nursicare pads are released when the pad absorbs fluid. If the pad hasn’t absorbed any milk from the breast and remains dry, it may not be effective. In such a case, it is recommended that you slightly moisten the nipple with water.
-
Although Nursicare pads and materials are safe, we advise wiping all substances off the nipple prior to breastfeeding. Simply wipe the nipple gently with a damp cloth.
-
Nursicare pads can be used as long as desired, provided they are changed as recommended.
-
Nursicare pads are highly absorbent. The pads can usually be used for several days, until they are saturated with fluid, though how quickly this happens may vary from mother to mother. Sometimes, the breast not being used may leak during feeding. It is therefore recommended to remove Nursicare pads from both breasts while breastfeeding to prevent saturation. When the pad does become saturated, throw it out. You will know it’s time when the liquid held inside becomes visible through the labeled side.
-
Nursicare pads contain all the necessary ingredients to reduce pain and heal the nipple wound, so there is no need to add any other treatment, such as a topical cream.
-
You can use the pad until you see that the liquid held inside reaches the edges or is becoming visible through the labeled side.
