These are not the best nursing pads in my opinion. After having them in for only a little while they start to smell sour and I am not that heavy of a leaker. The smell transfers to my nipples and I can smell it on my baby's face after he's done nursing. They are really good at preventing leakage so I only use them when I go out in public. They are pretty thin but they do crinkle and the adhesive strip does nothing for me. When I am at home I just use washable pads. I had begun to think that I just can't use disposable pads because of the odor but I had a Gerber sample of nursing pads and since I don't leak much I was able to wear them all day. No smell when I finally changed them out.
