Would you buy these in addition to the Lansinoh gel pads, or instead of them?

You will most likely want both. However I cannot say enough about these 3 in 1's. You can usually get the gel pads at the hospital without charge and put the money into this instead. I promise it is well worth it!

It depends on what your problem is - but for mastitis or breast pain I would say instead of them.

In addition. The gel pads can be wore out and about without notice and go directly on the nipple.The Thera pearl are great warm to help with clogged ducts. They are hot/cold pads that fit perfectly over the breast but have a hole in the middle to avoid the nipple.

These are meant to help w ingorgment as swollen ducts more so than sore nipples. I used the gel pads more than these.

I bought both. The gel pads were great for the first weeks bc they help with sore nipples. You can use them pretty much all the time. The 3-in-1 is a hot/cold therapy which you use at times throughout the day if you have issues such as mastitis, engorgement, clogged ducts or even to help produce more milk (it might be just helping with letdown but it feels like more milk comes out). I use them warm right before pumping and while pumping, as you can wrap it around the cups and button it.

Mine came with the pads I would contact the company they will probably just send you some

I have not tried the gel myself, I bought a cleaning product that is basically an isopropyl alcohol solution which cleans the skin and removes oils, extending the life of the pads. Other people seem to really like the gel (different types of products, so you could do both) so I might try that some day. I would assume you wouldn't need very much gel, I would recommend you start with a small container and see how it goes.

I bought an extra collar which was a feasible option rather than buying just the replacement pads. If you wish to buy just the replacement pads, you can google them to get different buying options.

You can - that's how you're supposed to use them. Start with cool, completely clean and dry foot for the best chance of the pads staying put. If you don't, they won't stick as well - - and even when you DO prep your feet the right way, the gel pads may tend to shift around if feet get hot and sweaty.

yes,its not neccessarily an upgrade but the aluminum pads wont wear as fast as the stock ones.

No you don't . It would probably interfere with the contact with your skin. You have to be sure the skin is clean and dry so the pads will stick. Eventually the pads will wear out & you can purchase replacements through the company. Pretty affordable.

You don't use adhesive or gel. The pads have a gel type backing that are reusable. You get an extra set with your unit, but I ordered a 40 pack ( 10 sets of 4 replacements) when I ordered this. Hope you love it as much as I do!

Hi Joyce, yes additional pads an be purchased. Bed bath and beyond, amazon even walmart

I would say no. They are not as strong as some of the other pads I have used.

I would wash them in the sink with soap and water. I wouldn't take the chance of ruining the gel pads in the washer with all that agitation.

I found plenty of replacement pads also through Amazon just make sure you get the right size... I believe I got the variety pack of sizes just make sure they ate compatible with the machine pads

I think you have a better chance of these pads working for you. My problem was the tip of my toes. I hope this helps and I hope if you purchase them that they will help. Thanks for asking for my opinion.

I don't use it. The gel is more for to help with conduction if the pads are not sticking properly to the skin. As long as the pads stick fully and you have full contact, you shouldn't need the gel.

Thanks, Eddy! Actually yesterday I found some discussions on KOSS replacement pads and ordered them from a supplier that partners through Amazon. Email me at jackraver@aol.com if you need further info. I ordered a 6 pack for $7.50 which included shipping.

I found them (Turtle Wax brand) at Walmart. Be sure to buy the correct size - small or large. I think for this particular model you'll need the small pads.

I use these to replace the cushions for my Respironics mask. It's probably not a good idea to mix and match between manufacturer's of masks. I have used the comfort gel mask from respironics for about 10 years, extemely comfortable with reasonable replacement parts from different suppliers.
