G-Tube Pads (3 pack)

As soon as I purchased and received one set, I ordered more. We typically order pads from Etsy and they are fine but did not really help as much as we needed with leakage. I love the softness of these pads and the top layer washes very well if meds or leakage leave a mark. The part is how dry they keep my daughters stoma. She is 4 and was constantly digging at her site and making it bleed. Since setting these pads, she has stopped itching and digging at her stoma. It’s incredible. I was worried Velcro wouldn’t be strong enough but so far, so good. I am hand washing them to hopefully extend the life of them but I really don’t mind. These are exceptional compared to everything else we’ve tried over the past 4 years. Customer for life!!!

My son is 6 and has had his gtube since 2 months old. These are the best pads. We only use these ones now because he does not leak at all with them. He also has no irritation from using them. We had a huge leaking problem before we started using them. And with them it went away.

Overall, I really like this pad! It’s comfortable, absorbent, and washes up great!
Pros:
- Velcro Closure: so much better than ones with a snap/button feature! Velcro ensures the pad doesn’t make a cone and push up on my button
- Absorbency: the layers wick away drainage away from my skin, decreasing irritation and breakdown at the site
- Easy Cleaning: are easy to wash and came out without being misshapen

What I would change:
- The opening doesn’t go all the way to the middle of the pad making it really off center
- Opening could benefit from a slight widening where it stops in the middle of the pad. Most tubes are round so it would sit around the tube a little more naturally, the edges of the split would be closer together

If your looking for something that fits and soft on your skin, well look no farther, these are Fantastic..going to be ordering more that’s for certain..

I have a tubie baby and these are so easy to put on after doing his cares. I struggled with hospital grade gauze and tape which always stuck on to my baby’s skin these are definitely very comfortable and super convenient I love the Velcro
