  • Best I’ve tried

    The lightweight thin bamboo nursing pads are the best I’ve tried. They stick and absorb well and the best part is they are soft on sore nipples and thin enough you forget they are there.

  • Super comfortable!

    I’ve always had a problem with oversupply while feeding my babies. I’m currently breastfeeding my 3rd baby and always had problems with other brand nursing pads either leaking or folding over during the night. I haven’t had a single problem with either of these things since using new beginnings maternity nursing pads. They absorb fast and don’t get lost overnight. They are very soft and comfortable and I like that they stay perfectly in my bra. I’m very happy with it this product and will be recommending these to my friends and family.

  • Absorbent soft light weight

    Some breast pads can be bulky and irritate my nipples

    I suffer from eczema and sensitive skin

    I found these to be light weight and kept me dry , did not cause any irritation
    And left me feeling dry and fresh between feeds

    I like the sticky back so it stayed in place in my top

  • Comfortable and discreet

    I have found these pads to be super comfortable, very absorbent and lovely and discreet under my maternity bras. I have found that I have been leaking quite a lot and these pads have ensured I have not leaked through my tops and therefore saved my bras. I have found using other pads that my nipples can sometimes stick to the fabric or surface after a leak. This is not the case with these pads. They are very comfortable indeed.

  • Love these breast pads!

    After increasing my supply using the New Beginnings breast pump, I found myself leaking increasingly however with the continued use of these breast pads, it didn’t matter! They’re so absorbent and barely felt like I was wearing anything at all. They last the whole day and sit well under most of my maternity bras. Such a wonderful product that makes one less thing for a mum to worry about!

    As a mum of twins girls my nipples got a rough beating daily! But these were leak proof felt incredibly nice and were not noticable at all under tight clothing. I’ve only ever used cheap ones, never will again.

  • Invisible comfort

    I have used new beginnings nursing pads for my last 2 pregnancies and I wish I had them for my first 2. I didn’t think they could get any better but to my surprise they have. These are so slim it doesn’t look or feel like your wearing them, they really do hold so much ( I accidently put one through the wash), and they stay to shape. Love them.

  • Good product

    I tried the new beginning nursing product which I liked very much. It was quite invisible inside my dress. It held good amount of breastmilk leakage. I did not get any rashes or itchiness using it. It was expensive than other similar product but I feel it was worth it. Nice product, highly recommended.

  • Holds an impressive amount

    I was using reusable pads for some time to be environmentally friendly but overnight I was leaking so much since my bub was sometimes sleeping through and my body hadn’t quite caught on. I was tired of waking up with a soaking wet top and didn’t have enough nursing singlets to keep changing so I started using these pads since bamboo is a more sustainable option. I’m very impressed at how much liquid it can hold and still feel dry. You can feel the weight of the liquid when you take it off after a day and it’s amazing. It does mean more waste but the bamboo is a bit better than other brands.

  • Absorbent, super adhesive

    I found these difficult to sit smoothly in my bra, the sticky parts are super adhesive which is good but I just had to be careful putting them in and getting the pad to sit flat. I had no issues with absorbency though so in terms of function they did the trick, no leakage at all.

    These nursing pads are still working really well in the way they soak up leakage whilst being really comfortable especially where I have a few blisters on my nipples and they are really tender from breastfeeding.

    They are still working well after my first review.

    I would say nursing pads such as these ones are a must for breastfeeding mums.

  • Great protection

    These breast pads were completely leak proof and very absorbent. I used these at the beginning of my breast feeding journey and didn’t leak through once. They are quite discrete under clothing I could rarely see them through my shirts and barely noticeable that you are using them. I would use them again and recommend to friends.

    Movie premiere, nursing pads in under a thin soft dress and the world couldn’t tell. Who wouldn’t need or want that feeling less like a nursing mother and more the sexy goddess who brought children into the world and still enjoy a night out with hubby. Added bonus they are soft and feel amazing against the nips.

  • Best breastpads I've ever used!

    I’ve spent 9 years of my life breastfeeding one baby or another so I’ve tried A LOT of breastpads in that time.
    I have a huge milk supply and just the thought of feeding my bub can cause a let down so I’m very fussy about using breast pads I can rely on.
    First thought on seeing the New Beginnings bamboo breast pads was that there was no way these were going to cut the mustard. I mean they are wafer thin, so I tried them first on a day I was hanging around home.
    To my absolute shock they stood up to the test!
    I’ve also put them to the test overnight when I often leak the most and still they performed faultlessly.
    They are so thin that you could wear them under even the tightest clothing without a problem.
    They are soft and silent unlike other brands that have an annoying crinkly sound. These stay put with 2 tape spots and remain flat even after pulling your bra up and down during feeds. Best of all they remain feeling dry and don’t swell up and go clumpy when wet.
    After being a faithful customer to another brand for almost a decade I’m sorry to say I won’t be reaching for their box on the shelf anymore but will be switching to New Beginnings bamboo breast pads from now on.

  • Handy

    Ive been using the regular new beginnings nursing pads prior. I tried these and thought that although thin and convenient I did much prefer original thicker ones as I had alot if let down so needed that t extra cover.

    So soft and amazing and incredibly worth it! No one would even notice you’re rocking breast pads under your tight clothing. Very leak proof and comfortable. I’ll only used these breast pads for future babies now. I’m convertered, and not just saying this to post a good review to get picked for more reviews. It’s the truth, try them for your self

  • Love love love

    I love new beginning nurse pads I used them firstly 2 years ago And have been using them again with the arrival of my baby.

    I love the softness and feel of them. They are nice and thin and gentle on my skin.
    They seems to soak up the milk without leaving you with a damp feeling

    I have found others to be thick and scratchy, with irritate my breasts which are sensitive to certain materials.

    Best nursing pads on the market!

  • Love love love these!!!

    I love these breast pads! Finally someone has made thin yet highly absorbent breast pads! As a larger breast woman I had trouble finding a breast pad that was discreet and didn’t leak, I was sent these to review and when I first opened the box one of my first thoughts were “these won’t handle an unexpected let down let alone a leak” and I was quickly proved wrong! I love how these stick to your bra, it’s so hard to adjust a breast pad in public quickly before a milk letdown!
    One thing I was a bit disappointed with was the (to me) unnecessary packaging, each pad is wrapped up individually in plastic. It’s probably a hygiene thing but for me it seems unnecessary.
    I love how you can’t tell your wearing them, especially in white tops. They are a great size, especially for larger breasted women (I find most breast pads too small)
    They are gentle on sore nipples and are still absorbent even when using a nipple cream.
    Would highly recommend these to all breastfeeding mums! Definitely a must for your hospital bag

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

Prep & Time It Perfectly

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • So happy to share the magic of baby powder after a messy day at the beach or park! It’s been a game changer for us.
    Not quite as elaborate as the pop up tent, but a large towel with a hood has been great to discretely change out of bathers! It’s my husband’s go to now haha

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
