Pixie MUCH prefers her washable pads to the disposables I was using. I got mine from piddlepads.com, I think they're very well made. They have a vinyl backing so there's no leaking.
We were having issues with her not wanting to use the disposables. She would piddle anywhere in the house when she was let free, and if she made any attempt to go near them at all, she would go next to it instead of on it. The only thing she used the disposables for were for shredding!!!

By day 2 of using disposable pads, "housebreaking" is 5 times better already. I don't know if it suddenly clicked her little head that she's to potty on these or what. But she's hitting the middle of pad every time, all the time. She even stops playing, goes to the pad, does her duty, and comes running back (she had NEVER done this until after I got these pads).

I'm not saying these things are a God sent miracle... but they've made my life a lot easier.... I bought some puppy training spray to help show her it was okay to potty on them (I think she thought it was just another rug before that).
I just rinse them out very well in the utility sink before throwing them in the washer.

Like NewYorkieMa said, the cost up front may be a bit more, but in the long run, it's saving a TON of money (especially if your puppy is like mine and just shreds the disposables and then pees next to it!!)

Listen to me... I should contact PiddlePads.com to see if I can become their spokesperson. I love these things!
