hi all!
i only use breast pads at night, but i still seem to be getting through them really fast! also, they usually end up anywhere else but on my boobs by the morning, which means i keep on waking up in the early hours to adjust them :P
i have been looking around and saw a product called lilypads, which look great because they stick to you not your clothes (and they are reuseable). anyway, im wondering if anyone has ever used them and can recommend them....or is there anything better you can recommend?
thanks!!

johnsons are fab - have to change them much less often... boots own were really crap and would suddenly leak at inopportune moments! i would get through stacks of them! pay less buy twice in this case!

yeah i tried boots own too...sooo useless. i really like tommee tippee ones, but they are so expensive

I liked tommee tippee for keeping in the changing bag as they came individually wrapped in little plastic sachets, but they are too expensive for general use.
I tried the avent washable ones but found the lace backing to help them stay in place didn't work, like the ones from teamlollipop.co.uk cos they're a useful size so even if they move they're still likely to cover the area you need, nice and soft too

Lilypadz are good if you don;t need to take them on and off regualrly, so ideal for all night.
No good for daytime out and about though as you have to peel them off and leave them on the table while you feed rather than fold them down with your bra

thanks! im going to have a look round with your suggestions in mind - here's to dry pjs in the morning!

Mothercare washable ones work fine with me. I bought two packets of 3 and they do me.
