I heard bamboo ones are good? Another friend has woollen ones.

Am getting through 2/3 pairs a day of disposable ones and have been for 4months. I feel its time to invest....!

I used the Little lamb bamboo ones in the larger size . Once I'd washed them a few times, they were good, although until things calmed down a bit, they did sometimes struggle with my letdown - I didn't find them as good as the best disposables.

I love Little Lamb bamboo ones, I also prefer the larger size although by measurements I thought the smaller size would be better. They are lovely and soft against my skin.

One of mine got stuck in the washing machine drain pipe and blew up the machine. Whatever you decide, wash them in a mesh bag....

I used agent ones before, they were fine. this time I used little lambs Bamboo. they were great too, but get the bigger size and they shrink a bit.

I dried them on a baking cooling rack.

The boots own brand ones worked for me. Very absorbent and washed well.

I got the avent ones, which are fine. Much less itchy than the disposables.

Mothercare ones are shite if you were considering them. They fell to bits after 3 washes.

I got mine from ebay, One were from china and not very good but some others off there have been great 9they do them in white/natural/black and with and without a waterproof backing.
I sometimes have used 2 in each side on leaker times.

I second using a mesh bag for washing

Little lamb ones have been brilliant for me.

Another vote for little lambs here! Been using them since September and never looked back. I have forceful let down and they cope. Only leaked out of them once, when DD randomly slept through the night.
