Leaking in bed

Generally, I don't have issues with leaking (she just doesn't stop eating for long enough!). But I tend to wake up with a wet patch by my chest. Was wondering if anyone has an inventive solution. Don't really want to have to wear a bra in bed but may need to :-/

I just slept on a towel (or with a towel under the sheet) with my two, I'm afraid. I tried bra and pads, but I was worried about thrush, so stopped that.

Slept on a towel and changed pj top daily. A bit of hassle but it stopped pretty quickly.

I just sleep in a soft bra and pads. Never occurred to me that there was any other option other than lying in a big milk sodden puddle. Baby is 16 days old now though and am leaking much less though so already approaching the stage where I could prob manage without the bra and pads.

I sleep in a shelf-vest - a vest that has a secret support inside for boobs, and put the pads in there. Mine has adjustable straps (not sure if they all do) so I can just loosen them a little and then it's loose enough to just poke the top of the vest under my breast so that DS2 can get to it.
[http://www.marksandspencer.com/Secret-Support-Sleep-Shelf-Vest/dp/B00BFLSAUK this is the M&S version]] but I'm sure there would be cheaper versions out there. I haven't had thrush, and DS2 is nearly 10mo now.

Shelf vest like Thumbwitch, but folded muslin cloths or face flannels on each side. Works a treat. Still leaks a bit, but comfy and breathable.

I have an idea for a product that could solve this problem, could make me a fortune!
