Breastfeeding is an intimate and natural process, but sore nipples or developing nipple cracks can significantly disrupt this special experience. The sensitive skin can feel dry, irritated, and painful due to frequent feeding, making you dread the next feeding session. Medela Hydrogel Pads offer direct and responsible support for these discomforts. They adhere to the skin like a soft, cooling cushion to protect and soothe the sensitive area, allowing you to continue your breastfeeding period with peace and comfort.

Key benefits

• Immediate relief: Provides instant soothing and a pleasant cooling effect for sore nipples and cracked nipples.
• Optimal hydration: Keeps the fragile skin supple and hydrated, contributing to a natural and successful recovery.
• Reusable and practical: Each sterile and individually wrapped pad is reusable for up to 24 hours for long-lasting comfort.
• Extra cooling possible: Can be stored in the refrigerator for a more intense cooling and soothing effect.

How it works

Medela Hydrogel Pads are specially designed to create a moist wound environment, which is scientifically supported as the most effective method for skin recovery. The hydrogel absorbs excess wound fluid while simultaneously keeping the skin hydrated. This prevents crusting and ensures the skin remains elastic, allowing the nipple to recover faster and become more resistant to the mechanical stress of feeding.
