Alternative eco friendly uses for reusable breast pads

Have a pile of reusable breast pads that I no longer use and wondered if there are any alternative uses for them? As maybe, I assume (maybe wrongly) there isn't a second hand market for them? Does anybody have any creative ideas for them? I'm thinking possibly make up removable pads atm.

I'm already Smile at the thought of some repsonses that could come up.

Cloth nappy tree have a for sale or trade section an I've seen them on there before.

But maybe you could use them as facial wipes instead of cotton wool for taking make up off or cleansing?

I use mine for removing make-up, they are great :)

DH used one as a coaster for a while - was very absorbent :)

I passed all mine on to a friend.

I sold mine at the NCT sale - priced to sell and they went. That means someone else has the benefit of nice soft pads without having to buy new ones.

I would love them, for their original purpose, if you'd like to sell them to me! Queen of leaky breasts here and really don't want to line the coffers of Tommee TIppeee again (whoever he is). Been leaking since 14 weeks pg and still have 8 weeks to go till EDD. And then I'll need to stuff my bra with nappies...

Dawning realisation will pass them on if you pm me.

Much rather they were continuing purpose for which they were intended!

Sweat pads - sew them in under the arms

I use mine as coasters too, much to my DBestFriend's ongoing amusement!
