Sore nipples, latching issues, engorgement, spontaneous let-down… coming to grips with breastfeeding can be challenging, but sometimes little things can make a big difference.
With the launch of their new Just’nCase Nursing Pads, Kiwi company Confitex is committed to making breastfeeding more comfortable, less stressful and more sustainable for new mums.
After listening to disaster stories from nursing mums who’d had bad experiences with both disposable and reusable breast pads, the company set out to redesign nursing pads from the inside out.
CEO Christine Arden takes up the story: “Women told us they were keen to swap from single-use pads to washable, reusable breast pads for the sake of the environment, but they had experienced disappointment – and many embarrassing wet t-shirt moments – when using other brands.”
The company was confident that their patented plastic-free leakproof textile was up to the job, as leading international laboratory UL had already verified that it was highly absorbent, leakproof, durable and odour-resistant when used in the company’s range of absorbent underwear for men and women.
“Unlike most other absorbent textiles, our revolutionary textile technology doesn’t rely on a layer of PU plastic to prevent leaks,” says Christine.
This gives it three huge advantages:
1. It can be moulded to a gentle curve to support the breast and prevent slipping
2. It can be heat-sealed, which allowed for the invention of a unique, patented GravityDri™ pocket at the base of the pad, capturing milk exactly where other brands tend to leak
3. It doesn’t shrink and warp with heat, so it can be tumble dried – ideal for busy mums
After two years of research and development followed by laboratory and consumer testing in New Zealand and Hong Kong, Just’nCase Nursing Pads are now available around the world and have met with overwhelming reviews from new mums.
“They’re by far the best nursing pads I’ve used,” says one mum, Lee. “I want other mums out there to know about Just’nCase so they can have a better breastfeeding experience too!”
Just’nCase Nursing Pads are available only online at justncase.com.
Confitex also makes absorbent underwear that has you covered for post-birth discharge, heavy periods and light-to-moderate bladder leakage.
ABOUT JUST’NCASE NURSING PADS
Unlike other nursing pads, which tend to scrunch up, slip out of place and leak from the bottom, Just’nCase reusable pads are moulded for comfort, grip to the inside of your bra and feature a patented GravityDri™ pocket to lock in leaks. They won’t let you down when you let down!
They have been independently lab-tested to prove that they do what they say they do. They’re the only nursing pads and leakproof briefs that have been UL-verified for:
✓ Superior absorbency – each pad absorbs up to 33ml
✓ Leakproof performance
✓ Breathability
✓ Absence of harmful chemicals
