NO to Disposable Nursing Pads

It seems like there is a big movement among young mothers to stop using the disposable diapers and disposable nursing pads. This is such a pleasant surprise. When I completed my medical training in the 80's, there was no talk of breastfeeding anywhere. In fact, nurses and the doctors did not even discuss breastfeeding with their patients.

When I recently attended the Ca/Nev La Leche League conference, I was delighted to see so many nursing moms and their young children, many of whom were being carried in all sorts of strap-on carriers. I felt a lot of positive energy there.

Is this movement unique to California?

I would like to welcome some comments from other nursing moms.

Thank you.

Engineered Textiles to Improve Skin Comfort

EPIBi nursing pads are innovative, because they integrated engineered textiles to improve skin comfort. Our goal is to minimize embarrassment and maximize moisture handling. Our pads are not designed for heavy leakers. Fabric layers' capacity to absorb liquid is lower than disposable's diaper technology.

EPIBi Nursing Pads

Persimmon Scientific has been busy building EPIBi nursing pad website. We will soon import some photos of our nursing pads soon to be available for sale.

EPIBi nursing pads are unique in several ways: Antimicrobial fabric is a permanent part of the textile, which means it does not wash off. It's proven to be safe, FDA-cleared fabric. It also offers super soft surface (non-abrasive) against irritated nipples, which reduces nipple and breast trauma. Breathable multi-layered moisture wicking system helps to get rid of moisture faster. Its thin, contoured pad fits really well under the tank tops.

EPIBi Nursing Pads coming SOON to a retailer near You!

EPIBi Nursing Pads will soon be introduced to the general market. Persimmon Scientific will be releasing them through distributors and retailers. Institutions are interested in testing our nursing pads for patients who are at risk for developing yeast infections. Women who have to take antibiotics during the delivery tend to develop yeast infections of the breast. Our hospital partners want to know whether EPIBi nursing pads can protect these women in the earliest phase of breastfeeding.

Pressure Ulcers and Moisture for Nursing Moms

Hello Nursing Moms,

I found out that moisture related problems that a nursing mom experiences is similar to how some pressure ulcers form. Often moisture is an issue.

That's why Persimmon Scientific developed EPIBi Nursing Pad that wicks away moisture and provides an antimicrobial surface that kills germs.
