“My wife used this, and had the following to say:
Lanolin is really good for skincare and moisturising. It's similar in feel to stuff like vasoline but without the really greasy feel.
The tube is very, very small. So don't go nuts with it. A little bit goes a very long way, and just a tiny raindrop amount is enough at one time. Needless to say if you're breastfeeding for a couple years you will need several of these, so they're not very cheap considering.
The cream really does help though, it makes the skin supple and helps when your skin is tired and sore.
I would buy again but wish they had larger tubs so that I wouldn't feel as bad being more liberal.
I read other reviews about lip balm and tried it and was very pleasantly surprised. I intend to keep some for winter when I need more.”
“Really nice nipple cream. It comes out of the tube easily to make application fast and simple. Moisturises and stays as a barrier. I’ve been putting it on before bed and it does make a big difference. The only reason for 4 stars is that the 10ml size is overpriced.”
“Lanolin is better than any off-the-shelf lip balm we've ever used in our house, particularly for treating chapped lips and the skin around noses during a snotty cold. It's natural, it spread in as it reaches body temperature and gives lasting protection. This is a really hand sized tube to take around when out and about.”
“My daughter loves this cream as she is a new breastfeeder and struggling with comfort!
This helps to keep the skin supple helps to stop cracking.
Good value and Recommended”
“I use this as a lip moisturiser as I find it moisturises without leaving a greasy film like petroleum jelly does. The tube isn't very big so it's fab for slipping into a pocket for day long use. You really don't need much at all, for my lips I use about 1/3 of the size of an antihistamine rectangular tablet. I'd imagine you'd only need a similar amount for a nipple so this small tube will last a good while.
The moisturising properties are excellent and last well, even after eating and drinking.
There's no taste and no smell so your baby wouldn't be off put at all. It is more expensive than similar products which is why I've removed one star.”
“My wife tried breast feeding our 4 year old for a couple of months but had to stop due to sore nipples so with our second child on the way hopefully this cream makes a huge difference.”
“Lanolin is pretty much a proven skin care product, and this one works great for those dry sore patches.
I'm not totally convinced it's the best thing to apply to nipples of breast feeding mothers though? I remember reading somewhere that lanolin products were being phased out in the UK, for what reason I'm not sure, but you try to find lanolin moisturiser in the UK high street.
Overall a very good skin care cream for the dry sore patches.
I hope this has been helpful :)”
“Nipple creams are the best lip balm: this one is quite thick so I mix it with a drop or two of carrier oil (jojoba, sweet almond) and a drop of essential oil (rose, lavender, even lemon or orange) - works wonders on dry lips, can be used to remove matte/long-last lipstick, and soothes, moisturises and protects.”
