Best deal on disposable potty pads? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

missPenny · 12-16-2007, 07:46 PM

I know many people here use potty pads on a regular basis. Where do you buy yours? Where are the good deals?

I'm looking for 30"x30" or so and very absorbent. I change them daily.

I've been considering the washable pads so I'd like to compare and weigh my options.

Thanks much!!!

I wish I could understand why so many people buy disposable potty pads, why not buy the washable and help save are earth?
So many things gets dumped into the ground and it's so sad

Think about how much money you would save if you used washable potty pads.

This is what I'm trying to compare.

Well, I have both and really prefer the disposable. It's kind of like choosing cloth diapers over pampers,most will say pampers,right? Sorry Missy.
I buy mine at walmart also Steve has good ones. I don't remember his username,He was ther one that gave out samples. He has great prices and also has a special ordering page for yt discounts.

wengaroni · 12-17-2007, 08:27 AM

i buy mine at walgreens (because i work there). and i've found that the walgreens brand underpads for older adults work just as well as the pet disposable pads. you can get 40 pads for about 7.99.

i also use the washable ones when i'm at home, but on the road when i'm travelling, disposable is what i grab (it pretty much lasts me all year since mocha prefers to go out to do her business).

I got mine at this site as recommended by another YTer

http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DYNAREX-UNDE...QQcmdZViewItem

it came to 13 cents each but they are the 23 X 24 and it has adhesive strips on 2 sides (wrong sides) so it stays in place . . .she sells 4 boxes get the 5th free which I took advantage off. I sure won't have to worry about running out as I am good for at least a year. Shipping depends on where your located so you might get it much cheaper if you are on the east coast . . I highly recommend her . . .

I don't think washabla pads will ever work for me, due to my hectic schedule . . and I kinda find it icky to throw materials soaked in pee in my washer

sorry but that's just me . . . and since I only do laundry once a week, I can only imagine how I am going to store them stinky pads

. . . . to those that do use washable pads, how do you store them temporarily while it is not being washed????

MIZBROWN · 12-17-2007, 08:43 AM

I think Walmart has the best deals on pup pads. Usually 30-40 for 6.99-8.99...Ive been using pads with Meka since 9 wks. And the pack usually lasts the whole month, so its not too expensive, though I have been considering washable pads lately.

I just fold them in quarters with the soiled side inside and stack them by the washer. They don't stink that way. Of course you could always store them in a garbage bag if it really bothered you.

I like the ones from Walmart as well. I think here they are 6 bucks or so for 30. If you search online you'll find a coupon for 2.00 off.

I bought some of the pads that are intended for people and they didn't work nearly as well as actual puppy pads. They would go once or twice and it would spread over the entire pad.

PrestigeousYT · 12-17-2007, 09:40 AM

I get a box of 120 pads at Sams Club for $24.84
I use both.
But I have found that I go thru a lot washing machines due to all the Potty pads and beds.

I use Little Bit's "Magic Potty Pads".

That's where I keep mine too. There is never an odor. In fact, when using disposables, we have to put them in an airtight garbage pail because of the smell. The washable ones hold a ton more and just sit on the floor (folded absorbant side in) in a corner of the laundry room and never smell.

I can't "calculate" the savings. But we buy the disposable ones from Walmart (just for traveling now) and would have to use more than one a day. One washable one lasts me a couple of days before washing (I usually wash two at a time). They could probably go more than that - that's just my limit.

And I got over the eww factor when I remembered that I had babies that provided much grosser laundry than pee-soaked pads.

yorkiegirl83 · 12-18-2007, 01:10 AM

pee-pads.com is the best deal around IMO. My pads from there have never leaked and worked perfectly!

Bnot · 12-18-2007, 02:13 PM

I use a hose outside to rinse potty pads off, then store them in a plastic garbage bag till I get a load of them.

I found waterproof, washable crib pads on eabay. I bought 3, and cut them up to kitty litter box size, zig zagged the edges. It cost me less than $25 shipping included, and I wound up with about 38 pads.

I only use the disposable ones when I have to board her to go out of town.
