Described by minimalist lifestyle blogger Erin Boyle of Reading My Tea Leaves as one of her favorite breastfeeding-friendly finds, the TL Care Organic Cotton Nursing Pads come in a pack of six (each are 4.5 inches in diameter). Made out of natural materials, the 100% organic cotton pads are five layers thick, making them extra absorbent. The round bra inserts are also soft to the touch and feel very breathable against the skin. A must-have for [breastfeeding mothers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/postpartum-recovery1), the washable nursing pads can be re-used and are better for the environment than disposable versions.
