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 💕
I’ve been expressing milk 8 times a day for nearly twelve weeks. I apply the balm before each pump, it’s made a big difference to how comfortable and successful the pump goes. Much better consistency than other products, it’s not sticky or thick.
6 months pregnant and wanted to be organised, heard great things about this product, it still may be great, but i put some on last night and needed to wipe off, really didn't like the smell, I do have a heightened smell during my pregnancy, but unfortunately it offended me that much that had to wipe off! :( maybe a different scent would help!
Hi Abby,
some people love the smell some people hate it. Gah, it's so difficult to make sure everyone's happy, but rest assured, we're working on removing it in future product iterations. Your smell is very heightened now due to your pregnancy, but hopefully you are fine with it by the time bub comes!
Just know, the smell is from the Manuka Oil, it's a natural scent which means it dissapates quickly, as opposed to synthetic scents which are built to last. You'll find after a minute or so you shouldn't notice the smell at all.
All the best with the rest of your pregnancy and beyond!
It’s amazing how well it works especially overnight when my baby falls asleep suckling so I’m extra sore after.
I cannot put into words how amazing these two products are. I felt instant relief the first time I applied the Boob Balm, and I was convinced that it was a placebo effect! It has most definitely saved my breastfeeding journey from ending. It’s pleasant to put on, not too thick or thin and the scent is really natural. The Bub balm has been the only thing to look after my little boy’s sore bottom when he had nappy thrush, it was really surprising to see how quickly it eradicated the sore red patches, and I could tell that the balm was giving him the same relief from pain that the Boob Balm gave me. I love that they are naturally antifungal amongst the other benefits. I am so pleased I chose to believe the info about the products because every word is true. Thank you so much ladies for creating these amazing saviour balms!
Hi I tried the balm and it feels nice on . I don’t think my baby likes the smell or taste but I don’t think it helped my nipples to heal. I have nothing bad to say about it just don’t think it worked for me unfortunately
Hi Jarmila,
we are so sorry you don;t think our balm has helped as much as you'd like. Please contact us at hello@bubsandboobsco.com and we can issue your money back guarantee.
Wishing you and your baby all the best!
I wish I had found this balm before I started breastfeeding my fourth baby. It is so soothing and smells amazing. Baby doesn't mind it either so I don't wipe it off before feeding. My favorite thing about it is it's anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties. Having experienced thrush in the nipples (horrible painful), using this from the get to would have been a game changer.
My son was born with a tongue tie and we’ve had on and off issues with his latch causing me pain, him weight gain issues and some nasty looking ridges on the nip! This balm has kept me going and has soothed and healed everything so well that I’ve just bought this pack of two as my original is nearly used up. Not saying it’s the answer to everything & please get help from a lactation expert if you’re struggling, but this has genuinely saved me from having to consider a bottle when I was struggling to get help elsewhere <3
