Are they any good? Which brand etc?

I could sustain a large proportion of the world's population with the amout of milk I leak...

here are some hemp ones. I find them very good - although I am not a prolific leaker. I find them alot less sweaty than disposables.
The main problem I have is they are very visible if I wear a clingy top. Hemp is more absorbent than just cotton.

I think the mothercare ones are surprisingly good. Better than Avent. And much better than disposables (are they meant to fall to pieces so that LO ends up with loads of cotton wool in her mouth?)

As pp says, they are great for bedtimes and shlepping about the house. Everytime you use them you're saving another pair of disps from your wheeliebin and a little bit of money too.

Excellent thank you all! Didn't realise I'd still be leaking so much after two months, probably incredibly naieve of me

I leaked A LOT and the reusable ones were a disaster for me. I thought Lansinoh were brilliant and also found Avent very good! Just threw away the reusables though as they failed me miserably!!!
