Also, they're nice because the throw aways don't soak in the pee fast enough and Curly's feet would always get wet and she'd track it on the floor. Not anymore, these soak in the moisture really fast and no more pp foot prints!

I have 6 and use about 1 pad for 2 days each but my son picks up her poop and flushes it as the day goes on.

Where did you get those pads for your Grandma...Do they have like a thin layer of laminate in them or what? What did you mean about sewing them up, so they do fray on the edge you cut? I'm a total dork about sewing and such, but I have a friend that knows about those things...
