Earth Mama Booby Tubes are clever little, gel-free breast packs made
with an organic cotton shell and filled with fresh, pliable flax seed.
Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs. When heated, Booby
Tubes deliver warm, moist heat to tender breasts; when stored in the
freezer they offer cooling comfort. Traditionally used to help ease
breastfeeding discomfort, heat can help encourage milk flow, avoid
clogged ducts, promote let-down and comfort the symptoms of infection,
and cold is used to help reduce the swelling and tenderness of
engorgement and weaning.
Earth Mama's unique gel-free construction was designed with extra
care to help reduce the risk of burns. Two Booby Tubes® per box, one for
each…well, boob.
A QUICK HOW-TO
Warm Booby Tubes in your microwave for 20-40 seconds, and apply as
necessary. Or store in the freezer and wear them inside your bra between
feedings. Pair with mindful breathing as needed (because ladies: the
breastfeeding struggle is real).
How do I clean my Booby Tubes?
Wipe the organic
cotton with a damp cloth. Don't submerge them in water or put them in a
washing machine — the flax seeds may sprout (seriously)!
A little bird told us mamas use them for:
- A cool pack to comfort bumps and bruises, ballooning feet and ankles.
- A warm pack to comfort upset tummies, tired muscles, and fussy, tugged-at ears.
