nursing pads
Lactation leak catchers
Nursing pads are absorbent pads worn inside a bra to catch breast milk that leaks between feedings.
They prevent wet spots on clothing and keep the skin dry.
Available in disposable and reusable versions, they're a standard item for breastfeeding mothers: I always keep extra nursing pads in my bag.
