Reuseable Breastpads

Can anyone recommend good washable breast pads? I bought some plain natural bamboo ones but they get soaked through fairly quickly and I need to change them every couple of hours.

I have given up using the washable ones and have been using the disposable Lansinoh ones instead because they seem to wick the milk away better and keep both my skin and bra dry.

Am I just particularly leaky?
Can anyone recommend washable ones that wick the moisture away?

Ive had the same experience myself, the leakiness does ease off as they get older and then the washable ones might be easier.

I got some from the b shirt company. Probably similar to yours though?

I use little lamb ones which are okay, I’ve heard good things about the ‘close’ ones and if your budget can stretch to it wool and silk blend ones are supposed to be amazing

I got given asda's little angels ones and they were surprisingly great. They have a soft side that is absorbent and a 'plasticy' side (sorry, can't think of a better word) that is non stick for when you are using lanolin cream.

The more you wash them the more absorbent they get. Also, when you wash them don't use softener.
