I found washable ones usel;ess too, leaked all the time. This time am going 100% for disposable, but they're not perfect, and if it wasn't for the leaking issue I bet they'd be much better. I find the disposables go fluffy after a few open/closes on the bra, and also, beware the tesco ones which are ENORMOUS (and irritatingly singularly packaged in plastic bags!)and get folded and stuck together and look lumpy and awful through clothes.

I found the washables totally ineffective

I didn't like the washables. They went a funny shape and made me look like I had bumpy boobs.

I always used disposables. A friend lent me some washables but I just didn't like them - and soaked through them too much to be practical really.

thank you all very much

especially advice re washing!

ILOVEMYDOG - yes please to FFP cami thingie

need to renew my CAT sub which i will do tonight

if you get washable
DO put them in a net bag to wash them, or they WILL block thr outlet pipe of yor washing machine and repairman will be very puzzled, especialy when he comes for the second time to remove it.
Or you could just to learn how to unclog the outlet pipe of your washing machine.

I have just gone onto washables at 8 weeks as I hated the disposables and they were making me itch a lot.

The washables are much more comfortable, but might not have been absorbent enough in the first few weeks.

The Avent washables are a bit rubbish though, they are not shaped and i found they kept falling out of place. I quite like the mothercare own brand ones actually.

washables -- think I had 8.

You also need a Bravado tank (or another brand) which is great as it looks like a camisole.

I have a medium black Bravado microfiber FFP if you want? CAT me if interested?

Ruby, I used shells on the side I wasn't feeding from when I was feeding the DSs so that I didn't drown - have you tried them? They were a real life saver for me!

mama - yes please!

thanks so much ...
