Lansinoh HPA Lanolin Nipple Ointment Product Review

Lansioh HPA Lanolin Ointment

When you start your breastfeeding journey it is not uncommon to hear about dry, cracked and sore nipples. I personally experienced some of this with my nurslings. I had husband go out and purchase this product and now I put it in every baby shower/ breast feeding  basket that I give out.

About the product:

The nipple ointment is lanolin based intended for helping to heal cracked nipples quickly and soothing sore nipples due to poor latch or irritation. It is a hypoallergenic solution so it can be used for majority of mothers and babies.

What I Like:

I like how quickly this product works to help soothe injured nipples. This combined with air time decreased my healing time greatly which is great because breastfeeding needs to be done on demand. I also like how a little goes a long way. The hospital recommended this with my retired nursling and it lasted a couple of months. When I no longer needed I still had majority of the tube left when I found it while cleaning out the nursery. When applying the product I do like how there is no need to wipe off between sessions. This is a bonus because at night when you are half sleep you're not going to remember to wipe off product from your nipple plus it defeats the purpose of soothing and healing them if there is not protection during the actual nursing session. Also in a pinch this can also be used to help protect a tush that has a beginning case of diaper rash. I also used this for lubrication for my pump flanges when I wasn't "gliding" very well. This item is priced very well (compared to other lanolin products) at $7-$9 for 40g tube depending on where you shop at. If that price is not within reach from what I have noticed most stores run a special on this or you can score a coupon for $1 off.  Lansinoh is a very good company so if you feel that you are not 100% happy with the product just give them a call!

What I do not like:

I will say my only complaint about this product is that of the other lanolin based products I have experience with this one seems to be very "sticky" and needs to be warmed up a bit before applying. I would squirt a small amount out and rub between my fingers for a few seconds before I used. This extra step isn't necessary for the effectiveness of the product but I do fine that it goes on more evenly and quickly when warmed.


Over all:

This is a great product especially for the cost and very useful in those early days. I definitely recommend this product to anyone unless they are allergic to lanolin. When I have friends that are breastfeeding I always include this product in the breastfeeding baskets I create for them because its so useful and very helpful.
