Persimmon Scientific Introduces EPIBI Nursing Pads -- The Only Skin-Friendly, Reusable Nursing Pads with an Antimicrobial Inner Layer
By promoting skin health and comfort, EPIBI Nursing Pads encourage women to breastfeed longer. The pads are washable and reusable, hypoallergenic and better for the environment than disposable pads.

LA JOLLA, CA, October 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- (SPECIAL TO ABC EXPO, Booth #4439) Persimmon Scientific, Inc., dedicated to integrating technical and engineered fabrics for healthcare, is showcasing its skin-friendly EPIBI Nursing Pads in the First Timers Pavilion Booth #4439 and at the New Products Showcase during ABC Kids Expo taking place October 10 - 13, 2010 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. They are the only skin-friendly, washable nursing pads with an antimicrobial layer on the market.

"Breastfeeding women are vulnerable to moisture-related, traumatic nipple and breast problems and skin infections due to inappropriate nursing pads," commented Dr. Elly Hann, a former wound care team physician and founder of Persimmon Scientific. "Fabrics such as cotton and wool can irritate sensitive skin. I developed the EPIBI Nursing Pads to help nursing mothers keep their skin comfortable, dry and healthy, encouraging women to breastfeed longer."

The FDA-cleared, patent-pending engineered layer in the EPIBI Nursing Pad, feels cool to the touch, is abrasion-free and its antimicrobial layer inhibits bacteria. Its moisture transfer system quickly moves moisture away from the skin allowing the pad to dry quickly. Together, the system produces a clean and healthy environment that protects skin and promotes healing. All EPIBI products are machine washable making them better for the environment and 70% more economical than traditional disposable pads.

In addition to being skin-friendly, the EPIBI Regular Absorbency Nursing Pads have a low profile (35% lighter than a cotton pad) and are contoured to fit comfortably inside a nursing bra. EPIBI Nursing Pads are available in regular and super absorbent in a variety of fashionable colors. A Starter Pack, consisting of one pair of Regular Absorbency and one pair of Super Absorbency pads with a wash bag retails for $19.99. A package of 2 pair EPIBI
Regular Absorbency Pads retails at $19.99 and includes a wash bag. One pair of EPIBI Super Absorbency Pads with a wash bag retails for $14.99. Visit www.epibinursingpads.com or call 877-705-6060 for more information.
