| Howdy, neighbor! We use washable potty pads here -- I get mine from Used Waterproof Pads . I have been using the same pads (222-2732 27x32 Minimal or None Minimal or None Minimal or None Most popular, Best Value $4.95) for the past 3 or four years. I have accumulated enough pads so that I only wash full loads about 3 times per week. I would also like to promote our YT Sellers -- there are several that offer Washable Potty Pads. Some of our sellers will even custom make pads to coordinate with your color scene. If you don't get the information you are looking for, do a search on Washable Potty Pads and you'll a lot more info. |

I love Ryans washables. I have been washing everyday (in rotation since last summer) and they are all in great shape. Detergent, and oxy powder and they clean up nicely! These really hold up! | |

With the washable pads you may only need to change them once a day.

| Were in the process of building bailey and layla a little sod box. If you have a handy husband or boyfriend you can get the materials for around 20 bucks and then to change it every 2 weeks (which is reccomended) its about 4 dollars for new sod. so 8 bucks a month is pretty cheap

| I still use disposables but I have some of Ryans washables as well and they dont need to be changed as often as disposables... I go through about 6 disposables a day... with the washables two is all I need and I only really need two because I need them in different areas of the house or my little critters cant remember to walk across the room,

| Layla "goes" outside for the most part but she has a piece of artificial turf (Green outdoor Carpet) that I have a plastic tray under. It just hose it off and its done. Cheap and super easy to clean. |

| We use the 101 dalmation pads from Kroger. 101 for $19.99, but they are not very absorbent, so we need to make a switch!

| I pay $15.00 for 50 pads, so that's not too bad. I think just checking around to find good deals and maybe they are cheaper the larger the quantity? Try emailing the companies who make them and see if they won't give you a generous coupon!
