I want to love these so bad because the concept is great for sleeping however they are too short for me - the band rides up because the arm openings aren't long enough. Otherwise they're great. The pockets for the pads are big enough for any of the nursing pads I have and they fit in easily. They provide easy nursing access and are definitely a soft cotton. I wouldn't recommend them because of the arm opening issue and I'm not a big girl (5'5" generally size medium) so I'm not sure what's up.
