Mama made Booby Tubes™ to help ease the discomforts of your mamariffic mammaries.
Booby Tubes™ are a natural, safe, gel-free breast pack made with a 100% organic cotton shell and filled with all-natural flax seed. Use warm or cold, depending on your nursing needs.
Store Booby Tubes™ in the freezer and wear them inside your bra between feedings to help:
- reduce the swelling and tenderness of engorgement
- comfort breasts during weaning
When heated, Booby Tubes™ safely deliver warm, moist heat to tender breasts. Mama’s unique gel-free construction was designed with extra care to help reduce the risk of burns.
About 5 minutes before each feeding, warm them in the microwave (or conventional oven) for approximately 20-40 seconds to:
- encourage milk flow
- maintain open milk ducts to prevent clogged ducts
- promote let-down
- comfort the symptoms of infection or mastitis
And you’ll be as pleased as Mama is to know they are made in the USA in a fair trade factory.
How do I heat my Booby Tubes™ if I don't have a microwave?
One of our intrepid Mama’s Helpers took this question on, and took some Booby Tubes™ home for a little experiment in her own oven. The results were terrific — as long as you don’t forget to take the Booby Tubes™ out of the oven! Preheat your oven to the lowest setting (that was 170 degrees on Mama’s Helper’s oven), place your Booby Tubes™ in an oven-safe dish, away from the heating element, and heat them for 10-15 minutes. After 15 minutes they don’t seem to get much warmer, so that seems to be all the time they need. Please set a timer and keep a very close eye on them while they are in the oven! One advantage of the microwave is it shuts off automatically, so with a regular oven you’ll have to be more diligent.
How do I clean my Booby Tubes™?
Just wipe the outside 100% organic cotton with a damp cloth. It is important that you don't submerge them in water (or put them in a washing machine) as they are filled with flax seeds and if they get wet, they may sprout (really!!)
Please note that due to manufacturer requirements this item may only be shipped to addresses within the United States.
