Heather, one of our astute buyers, told me recently that one of her clients did not like EPiBi Regular Absorbency Day Nursing Pads, because looked lumpy after a wash. She loved the Super Absorbency Eve Nursing Pads.
My immediate response was to assure her that when the pads were tested inside a standard, well-supported nursing bra, similar to a sports bra, we could not see the outline of the EPiBi Nursing Bra.
But Heather's question nagged me. To find out, we re-tested one of our pads after washing it. Sure enough, it got lumpy around the edge, and concealment was hopeless. After it was worn inside a nursing bra for an hour, however, it gradually conformed to the anatomic shape of the breast. Soon, we could hardly tell there was a nursing pad inside the bra.
It was an enigma, but technical or engineered fabrics are full of interesting characteristics. When the lighter weight EPiBi Regular Absorbency Nursing Pads are washed and hung to dry, gravity pulls the stretchy fabric in one direction - towards the ground. When it's completely dried, it obviously looks distorted. Inside the nursing bra, initially all the lumps show up. Then, gradually, warmth of the body re-shapes it into the original contoured shape. As each hour passes by, the EPiBi Nursing Pad becomes more concealable.
It's fun to work with technical or engineered textiles.
