Extremely sore during the early days of breastfeeding, this cleared any inflammation up in no time! Bonus that you don’t have to wipe off before feeding. My only issue is that I didn’t use it sooner!
Have had some discomfort after feeding following latch problems early in our breastfeeding journey. Applying boob balm after a feed helps with sore and damaged nipples and I no longer dread feeds!
So this definitely helps painful inflamed nipples - however my baby could not stand the taste and would actually gag if I used this within a few hours and tried to nurse her. Bummer because I do think if I could have used it, it would have been great. This might not be the case for your baby but the smell is fairly strong as well so something to consider.
I almost never write reviews, but this nipple balm is the best out there by far. I tried tons of balms, even used polysporin because I was having so much cracking and pain with both nursing AND pumping. As soon as I started using boob balm, the pain improved, the skin became less irritated and started healing. It also has a light pleasant scent and isn’t sticky. I can’t live without this stuff (been using it for 6+ months) and I’ve either recommended it or bought it for other new mamas I know. If you’re on the fence, just buy it!!
My six month old had quite a few dry patches of skin on his legs. I always moisturised him after he had a bath and tried to add more but didn’t work. Then I applies this balm a couple of times a day and within a week all the dry patches were gone!! Amazing
I have tried multiple balms to help my cracked nipples and none of them helped enough.. They might have helped them heal a tiny bit but never enough to make feeding the next day feel any better. Boob balm started working within a few days to a week. Now I lather it on at night, add silverettes and the trauma caused throughout the day is gone by the next day. It's an absolute game changer and has changed my breastfeeding experience. This stuff really works!
The smell isn't the greatest but that means nothing when it's as effective as is it
So I didn’t end up needing this to heal nipple trauma fortunately, but I had another wound that just would not heal after several weeks - three days of boob balm and it’s gone!! I’m stocking up because I can’t imagine ever being without this stuff!
Thank you so much for creating this product that works and feels so nice. 6 weeks exclusively breastfeeding, develop thrush and had to use a pharmacy brand cream which wasn't breastfeeding friendly so have to wash off before feeding again which is super inconvenient. This balm has kept the thrush away and feels so nice and eases the pain. Love it so much have bought more.
We absolutely love this balm, my little one is 10 months old and it's the only balm we'll use for him because we know without fail it's going to work when we need it to. Can't recommend it enough!
After 4 long weeks of breastfeeding my second with red raw nipples and dreading every feed from the excruciating pain, I was so done and looking for a miracle. I stumbled across the reviews for boob balm. I purchased it and said to my husband “this better be as good as they say it is” and my goodness. After 1 day of applying it after every feed, breastfeeding is enjoyable again. I am now feeding pain free and looking forward to that special time with my baby. I don’t usually write reviews but I had to this time as this stuff is seriously incredible. I wish I had it with my first and before I had my second. I just bought the bub balm and I am so excited to use it!
Two months postpartum I was often supplementing with formula and seriously considering switching to exclusive pumping because of how much pain I was in by the end of each day. Within 24 hours of using this balm I was so relieved that it brought me to tears…this saved my nursing journey! I will forever be gifting this balm to every pregnant woman I know!
Literally could not survive without this balm. Wonderful, soothing and repairs worth every penny! Went through one In 3 weeks ordered 2 more, lifesaver !
Super duper grateful for this balm and the ladies that created it. It has been a game changer and a lifesaver throughout our breastfeeding journey - we’re 8 months in, and whilst we don’t use it as frequently now, I’ve always got it handy. Initially bought it to help with nipple damage in the early months, but it has helped with vasospasm symptoms, thrush symptoms, and mastitis symptoms as they’ve popped up. Bub isn’t bothered by it either. Thank you!
Tried your product. It has given no pain relief or moisture as advertised. Very disappointed.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found that these products work and I can’t bear the smell of them. Not worth the money for me.
Hi there, Sarah. We're so sorry you're not getting what you needed from our balms. How about you email us via the contact page and we can learn more of your experience and what might have gone wrong.
Haven’t seen much improvement so far, I have been using after every feeding for 4 days, will give it another week.
Amazing product. I had such severely damaged/cracked nipples (tongue-tie baby and difficulties latching weeks 1-4) that even a towel brushing against them caused unbearable pain. This balm feels like butter - it just melts into your skin and the pain did seem to reduce the more frequently I used it. I now put it on after every feed and have bought two more tubs! Really appreciate the ladies who’ve created this and it’s good to know it’s a natural product that doesn’t need to be washed off before the little one feeds. Only thing is my baby doesn’t love the herb-like smell, so I try to only apply a light amount - we’re now 10 weeks in, she’s getting used to it, and my nipples are completely healed! Very much recommend for anyone suffering with nipple damage and pain. I wouldn’t have continued breastfeeding without it (and I tried all the products going!)
Breastfeeding my 14mo with zero issues until a recent cracked nipple (thanks teeth). After a month of agony I tried this, 3 days and it felt better, 5 and it was completely healed. Don’t waste your time or money on anything else!
I was really hoping, with all the great reviews of similar situations to my own with damage that won’t heal and pain feeding because of it, that this would be what I needed but sadly it wasn’t. I have had no improvement on the damage on my nipples or reducing any pain when feeding. I’ve used the product for a little over 3 weeks now. So I’m really disappointed and feel I’ve should have known this was too good to be true and the lack of bad reviews was a red flag and not just a sign of a perfect product.
Also, for the price of the product, I was disappointed in how cheap the packaging looks and feels with labels stuck crookedly and cheap plastic tubs.
Hopefully they’ll hold up to their money back guarantee!
Hi Rochelle,
We are so sorry you still haven't found relief from using our balm. If things still haven't improved after using our product, it may be time, if you haven't already, to seek help from a GP and most certainly a lactation consultant. If an infection has already taken hold, it can be difficult for the damage to heal without stronger medications. We are not medical doctors, so please seek the assistance of a general practitioner in case that is your situation.
Please email us directly at hello@bubsandboobsco.com and we will certainly honour the money back guarantee.
Wishing you all the best. You're doing an incredible job.

The cream seems to work well, i just hated the smell.
Hi Lissy!
That smell, which while not loved by some is loved by others, is the Manuka Oil which is the ingredient working so hard to help. We understand that the smell isn't for everyone, which is why we are working on a new formulation to neutralise it.
If the smell is not to your tastes, just know it is a natural scent and therefore dissapates quickly, as opposed to synthetic scents which are built to last.
We hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of the balm and can learn to love the natural scent of Manuka!
My 3 kiddos have dry skin and eczema, this has been a life saver. We now have no need for the hoard of steroid creams we’ve been through woohoo!
The boob balm is the only reason I’m still feeding my last baby, the pain was insane but boob balm saved me in my lowest moments at 2am 💕
Thankyou for creating these wonderful products 💕
