breast pads - am I doing it wrong?

I'm breast feeding a three week old and have quite a lot of milk. I'm using Tommee Tippee breast pads and the buggers curl up when I try to put my bra back together after a feed. Aside from the fact that my little darling slurps, snorts and sprays milk everywhere, it makes me feel very indiscreet - I end up waving my nipple all over the place while I adjust my dress. Is there a way round this? Some kind of wonder-pad that sticks to your bra but not your breasts, perhaps? I know this is a small issue in the grand scheme of things, but it's incredibly irritating. Suggestions, oh wise ones?

Trying to think what I do, I use Boots washables now, when I unclip for a feed I roll the bra underneath to catch the pad IYSWIM. Then after she's finished I hook my bra back up then adjust the pad back in place. Also before I start feeding I always check the pad on the opposite hasn't moved ashave been caught out like that before.

I know some disposable pads have little sticky bits to hold them in place or you could try lilypadz I didn't get on with them though loads of others like them.

Hmm... Perhaps it is just the 're-clip then unroll pad' technique I need... Doesn't feel that comfy rummaging in my bra after a feed, but I guess I'll get over that. Any other suggestions?
