An Exciting New Product Release!

Maturna, Inc. understands the importance of breastfeeding and supports the worldwide efforts to promote success in this endeavor, To meet this world need, Maturna is excited to introduce an innovative new product for breastfeeding women, Soothies.

We realize that the number one reason moms choose to stop breast- feeding is nipple pain. We wish to offer our assistance in helping them, through the availability of Soothies. Relative to other conventional remedies, Soothies offer superior comfort and convenience Soothies have had a proven positive response from breastfeeding moms and lactation consultants, praising its ability to provide immediate cooling sensation, pain relief, and protection from friction, as well as its clean and easy application.

As moms today are constantly on the go, other methods of resolving nipple pain may not fit into their active lifestyle. With Soothies moms simply place the pad over the nipple after feeding, bathing or using a breast pump, and there's no fuss or mess. While the pad is on the nipple, its contents will not wipe off onto clothing nor will the pad stick to sore nipples. Soothies are absorbent and will not dissolve into the wound, dry out or break apart.

The properties that are unique to Soothies ensure that the needs of the nursing mother are addressed. Soothies is a patented FDA-approved dressing that utilizes the latest hydrogel technology. Unlike other hydrogel pads, Soothies contains 65% glycerin, only 171/2% water, and 171/2% cross-linked polymer matrix, all of which are non-toxic to both mom and baby. This unique combination inhibits skin maceration, or whitening, and contributes to a natural healing environment. They also have properties that have been shown to inhibit bacterial and fungal growth. Soothies do not contain propylene glycol, latex or polyoxyethylene glycol, which are toxic and can be found in other similar products.

Soothies come in a tyvek package including two Soothies pads, and can be purchased through Breastfeeding Basics.  Click Here to order.

In tender care for the breastfeeding mother

"SOOTHIES^TM IS THE BEST THING SINCE SLICED BREAD!! The mothers we have given Soothies^TM to experienced instant soothing to their nipples. We would definitely not want to be without them."
                 -Debra Kemp RN, BSN, IBCLC Las Cruces, NM
                 Supervisor of Childbirth Education and Breastfeeding Programs

"SOOTHIES^TM IMMEDIATELY SOOTHED THE TENDERNESS I WAS EXPERIENCING!  I am going to recommend them to my sister who is trying to have a baby, so that she can see how wonderful they are!"
                  -Sheree Pegon, San Pedro, CA

When it comes to healing severely traumatized nipples, I HAVE FOUND NONE OTHER LIKE SOOTHIES^TM. Even when cracked, bleeding, and unable to latch due to the trauma and pain, I have seen results in as quickly as 24 hours. Then with assistance in latch and positioning, mothers are eager to resume pain-free breastfeeding!"
                  -Anita Krajecki, RNC, BSN, IBCLC, Naperville, IL

"THE SORENESS DECREASED REMARKABLY!" I tried everything before I used Soothies^TM, but nothing worked. Within a 24-hour span, there was a huge improvement in the condition of my nipples!"
                  -Alexis Bybel, Oakland, CA

For the past 12 months, I have been using the Maturna Soothies^TM gel breast pads with clients who have badly damaged nipples due to breast- feeding difficulties. Many mothers have stated that the pads are very comforting to wear, easy to use, and have enhanced the tissue healing. RESEARCH IS POINTING OUT THE BENEFITS OF MOIST WOUND HEALING, AND I SEE CLINICAL EVIDENCE IN MY PRACTICE WITH THE USE OF SOOTHIES^TM."

"I LOVED THEM!" They worked great! Soothies^TM cooled my tender nipples and eased the pain.  They took away the hesitation I had to breastfeed."
                  -Tracy Jo Thomas, Edmonds, WA

"We have been giving Soothies^TM to moms who have had sore nipples. THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN TREMENDOUS!  Some of the comments have been that the pads were more soothing to sore nipples, the pad stays moist longer, and traumatized nipples healed faster. As a result, we are working with our 'sister' hospital in changing over to Soothies^TM."
