I believe it is just a hydrogel, in which case it would be made up of synthetic polymers that absorb a lot of water. So technically water would be the greatest component, followed by something like sodium polyacrylate or acrylate polymers. **Q: How do these compare to Lansinoh Soothies?** A: They are very similar. I personally feel like Medela products are USUALLY superior, but I have used both brands of the gels and liked them both. The Medela hydrogels do not, however, last as long as Lansinoh, which can be used for "up to 72 hours.," The Medela ones state they can be reused for "up to 24 hours." **Q: How do you get these to stay on? Do they just stick on their own? Is the non-skin side sticky (will it cling to a nursing bra?)** A: Both sides have a sticky part on them. I used one side on the inside of my bra. Under the clear sheet is sticky too, and the instructions say to run it under cold water to reduce the sticky if needed. For me that was no help as removing them was excruciating. I then left the clear side on the gel pad just because it did provide limited relief and I did not want to waist the money I spent on the pads. They are in squares, so as it cups around the breast and nipple the material crinkles. The crinkle on the nipple also hurts. **Q: Anyone familiar with the medela soft shells for sore nipples? Which of these products is better to protect nipples between pumping?** A: I have used both and much prefer the hydrogel. The soft shells were uncomfortable, not at all discreet, I have an over supply and would drip into them and it would spill everywhere any time I had to take them out (which is a lot when you are nursing). I felt like they did nothing to heal my crack and just kept my clothes from rubbing against them. The hydrogels actually help heal the cracks and make it comfortable to wear a bra and normal clothes. The hydrogel is more expensive since they only last 24 hours but I threw the soft shells from the hospital away and have been using hydrogels for the last couple of weeks to heal a severe crack. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐ Two Stars *by S***A on 15 July 2016* Not worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Un alivio para madres primerizas *by L***A on 5 April 2022* Ideales para calmar el dolor y ardor de los pezones adoloridos por mal agarre. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So worth it! *by E***E on 12 July 2026* I was given these by the mother baby unit after delivery, and bought more. These were a breastfeeding hero, and I have recommended them to every new mama I know! I had some damage from a bad latch, and these helped to provide comfort of the damaged area and allow healing to it! They are only designed to be worn for 24 hours, so while they seem expensive, they are absolutely worth it if you have any crack, fissure, or separation. ## Frequently Bought Together - Medela Hydrogel Pads | Pain Relief for Sore or Cracked Nipples | Breastfeeding Essentials - Medela Contact Nipple Shields, Medium 20mm | For Latching Difficulties during Breastfeeding, Flat or Inverted Nipples - Earth Mama Organic Nipple Butter™ | Nipple Cream Safe for Breastfeeding | Postpartum Essentials for Nursing | Non Lanolin Nipple Cream, 2-Fluid Ounce --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nl/products/94548426-medela-tender-care-hydrogel-pads](https://www.desertcart.nl/products/94548426-medela-tender-care-hydrogel-pads) --- *Product available on Desertcart Netherlands* *Store origin: NL* *Last updated: 2026-07-21*
