Because they did cost so much i use the washable pads I order them from EZWelp.com they are reclaimed pads i get the ones that are under the $3.00 I order 20 of them and LOVE them will NEVER go back to paper ones again.. I just pick them up shake them out side and of course if you need to rinse them off if the poo is running with the garden hose and put them in washing machine with bleach and detergent abd dry them and they are great and i have figured that in 6 months i have save around $350. Dollars ... on pads.. and they dont tear these up.. good luck you wont regret this they are great....
