With each of my babies I have experienced breast engorgement once my milk came in. It was the worst after my first baby since I was nursing and pumping. At the time I tried to relieve the pain by holding hot or cold wash cloths in my bra. This was kind of messy and wet as you can imagine. I also have had mastitis a couple of times and used hot wash clothes again to try and help with the pain and blocked ducts. This time, before my third baby was born, I decided to prepare for whatever may come and treated myself to the Lansinoh TheraPearl 3-in-1 hot or cold breast therapy.
One package consists of two gel breast pads that can be frozen or heated up to use with engorgement, plugged ducts, mastitis, pumping, and even to encourage let down and production.
Here is some information about Lansinoh TheraPearl 3-in-1 Hot or Cold Breast Therapy from the manufacturer:
- relieves engorgement, swelling and pain
- relieves mastitis, plugged ducts
- Breast Pump Aid: use hot to reduce time spent pumping
- Doctor designed, Lactation Consultant recommended
- Cold Therapy: relieves engorgement, swelling and pain
- Hot Therapy: relieves mastitis, plugged ducts
- Breast Pump Aid: use hot to reduce time spent pumping
- Doctor designed, Lactation Consultant recommended
- BPA, Latex and Lead free
These gel pads are conveniently, perfectly shaped to wrap around your breast. They fit nicely in a bra without being too noticeable. To use them while pumping they wrap around pump flanges and snap into place. I used these after my milk came in during engorgement. This worked better than a cold wet wash cloth and was much more comfortable. I would have loved to have these after my first baby was born.
I would definitely recommend these to any mom that would like a comfortable and versatile option for relieving all types of breast pain. Luckily I have not had any plugged ducts or mastitis this time around but I will use these if I do. As an added bonus these gel packs can be used anywhere and for any kind of pain where you would normally use hot or cold therapy. They have been used for multiple uses in our household.
You can find Lansinoh Therapearl here. Please let me know if you have any questions about them at all.

I love everything you guys have! My baby boy is very picky with bottles and I got a bottle from my doctors office for him & he LOVES it so much. I'm so so so happy with your company products and it's not easy to just go find a lot of stuff because I don't have a lot of money. I'm 18 and have a 3 months year old. It's not easy so I'm so excited that all of your products that I use work so well.
