Use:
I used these both cold (frozen) and hot (miscrowaved) for different reasons with different results. COLD: these frost up and get cold rather quickly, I would use them every couple hours between feedings to reduce engorgement. I felt as though they got cold quickly but would defrost very soon after inserting into my bra. I did not find these that great cold. HOT: I loved these hot, I would pop them into the microwave for 20-25 seconds and then wear them a few minutes before pumping and during pumping. They stayed warm my entire pump session, and sometimes needed a cool off period before using.
What's in the box:
Two gel inserts shaped like an "C" and two fabric covers came in the plastic box.
Fabric cover:
These come with two purple washable fabric covers. You fold and insert the gel package into the cover and clasp the button to close. These covers are good for (1) cold for engorgment and (2) pre-feeding or pumping - NOT good while pumping since they often got sticky from breast milk. The fabric is soft-ish and washes well.
HOT for Pumping:
I loved these for use before and during pumping as they helped increase my milk flow. Microwave (20-25 seconds), pop in my bra for a few minutes, remove and wrap around the pump flange and then start pumping. These stayed in place while pumping without having to hold them in place.
Washable:
I rinsed these in the sink after every use and hand dried if using frozen or air dried if using hot.
Overall:
Not as soft as other hot/cold breast products but easy to clean, stays warm, easy to use while pumping. Don't stay cold for long after inserting into bra.

Buy these before you have your baby, put them in your freezer, (fast forward to sometime after birth) feel the agonizing fire that is your milk coming in, remove these from your freezer (thank your past self for being so on top of things), place them in there soft purple pouch (included), and stuff them in your bra to cool the fire where your boobs once were.
A lactation consultant suggested I use warm compresses before pumping to help the milk come out more easily and relieve engorgement. These heating pads are great.
I put both heating pads in the microwave for 19 seconds, then massage them with my hands to distribute any hot spots. I put them in my bra for a few minutes before pumping, and they are very comfortable to wear. I definitely think they help relieve engorgement and make pumping more efficient.
A few other tips for pumping: massage your breasts while pumping to help them fully empty. Lubricate the inside of the flange with lanolin to make pumping more comfortable for your nipples.
Make sure you have the right size flange for your nipple, don't automatically use the size that came with the pump. A lactation consultant can help you find the right size or you can try different sizes on your own. The entire nipple should fit into the flange, but not much of the areola.
Good luck with your breastfeeding journey!
Super useful for sore breasts at the beginning of breastfeeding. Also got me through a rough bout of mastitis. I'm sure you can use things around the house that you already have for the same purpose, but I like that these came with a soft, washable cover and are fitted to the breast. I feel like post partum is already so challenging that using something specifically made for breastfeeding makes life a little easier. I didn't like using these for hot, I only put them in the freezer but it was nice relief.
These are great to use during pumping. It helps with block ducts and helps get more milk out. So far I’ve only used it for warm compress and find it super helpful. I like to use it before bedtime pumping so I can empty out as much as possible so I can sleep longer. For those women who gets heavy milk production, middle of the night pumping due to breast pain can be annoying and tiring but after using this, I can sleep much longer without breast pain.
This is great to use with a hands free pumping bra.

I bought these twice for my wife, I over heated (30 seconds in the microwave) the first pair and the plastic melted, the purple pearls came out. She really likes this particular product because of the shape. She uses them mostly when using the breast pump and for pain from engorging.
I really liked these. the quality was great and they were super easy to use. I used them for the hot factor and it took very little time to heat them up and use them. They weren't too hot and helped so much when I was engorged and my ducts seem plugged. The relief I felt when using these was instant and it helped tremendously. The only down side is that only one on each side didn't allow for them to reach all the way to the back and sides of my breast where I really needed them so I had to place and move them around with my hands instead of being able to use it like the box shows which made it a little inconvenient while trying to do other things or pump/breastfeed at the same time. I would recommend putting two together for each side if you are wanting to use it how the box shows. Other than that I loved this and am definitely glad I purchased this.
These are nice to have when breastfeeding, especially when dealing with achy breasts or trying to boost your supply pre-pump. When I was first starting out pumping I found that heating up my boobs pre-pump was one of the most helpful things to increase my output per session. The only negative is that they don't stay warm very long and they take a while to heat up (you have to heat them up in short intervals or else they can explode). They do stay cool for a while post being frozen. They are small and compact, and easy to slide in to a bra/shirt.
These were fabulous when my milk initially came in. I kept them in the freezer and they helped TREMENDOUSLY with the discomfort from engorgement. They didn't stay cold for super long, but they definitely provided the relief I needed. I also tried them warm when I had a clogged duct. These are wonderful and reusable.
These are a breastfeeding mommas best friend. Seriously, please pick these up if you plan to breastfeed or pump. I literally cried tears when I misplaced them because you can use for either cold or hot compressants and God knows you will need both options when engorged. Definitely recommend buying two pairs! (Just Incase lol)
