| Piddle Pads Ok... I use piddle pads... I have used a couple of brands... some blue... some white... they all leak. I have to put 2 on top of each other. Does anyone have any that they love. I mean it isn't like a 1lb dog pees that much and even when bitty Gigi pees they leak. Any advice? I would use the reusable but I hate to do my kids poopy laundry... I don't want to do a dog's... it might stink up my machine...lol... or they might think my rugs are the same things... ??? |

| I'm anxious to hear the answers too. I have been trying several different kinds and have liked the ones from the pet store, but none that I bought from Walmart. |

| 4 dogs and I have one down in the family room and one in the laundry room, I usually change them 1=2 times a day..usually I put one down first thing in the morning, and then at night..they usually poop on them before I get up, so a lot of poop..but, these are fantastic, I love the xtra, my sister in law now uses them too..they are well worth the money and so thick, and the pee dries on them very quickly too...Hubby said DON'T ever buy those cheapo blue ones again... |

| I buy the 150 packages of them, cost wise, they're more expensive, but you get what you pay for..sometimes they run sales on the big packs..I hope they hurry and run some sales real soon...I think if you ever try them, you would never use anything else, and they get to you real fast too..I usually have mine within a week after ordering..I order and if it's before 2:00 I think that day, they ship them that day.. |

| Thanks Thanks. I changed them often unless I am potty training a puppy that is just not getting it... then I leave it as an attractent... which seems to work w/ the ones that have trouble. I take the poop off but leave the pad (unless liquidy). This has really helped little GiGi. I have a baby though so I only do that one w/ the one in the shower. But w/ one pee... even from tiny Gigi... all the ones I get leak (super absorbent... my booty). I was thinking of trying the more expensive ones. But hated to pay more for the same crap (so to speak...lol) |

| I am on the second brand and so far so good. I don't know off the top of my head which ones they are but they are NOT the simple solutions ones, those were horrid.

| I love these. www.digitpet.com They are called Gridlock they are light green. Don't leak, Since I have found these I don't use anything else. I got them off ebay. I buy them buy the case, cheaper that way. I swear by them.

| I use human diaper pads which are normally used to line beds for infirmed. They are larger and can absorb much more with no leaks. Cheaper too! |

| I was always kind of grossed out by washable potty pads. But I got some from Little Bit here on YT, and I am sold!! My older dog still uses paper puppy pads (old dog, no new tricks), but Coby uses the washable. We pick up and flush the poop, so there's only pee on them. With the paper ones, I always felt the need to change them with each pee because I didn't want to look at the spots. With the washable, the spots don't show, so the same pad can last all day (or longer). I was dreading the double puppy pad expense. They are great quality. I need to get a couple more in order to just keep the laundry going and be able to wash a couple at a time. I never thought I'd like them, but I do. It also helps the peeing at the edge problem. They are absorbant all the way to the edge, so no more puddles. And with all the prints, you can get something that looks good in the room - almost looks like a throw rug!

Thank you! You are so sweet! I am glad you like them. I changed for the same reasons. Tired of the puddles under the pad, leaks, torn up pads, nasty looking pads when company comes, etc. I would never go back to paper! If anyone is interested please let me know. By the way I got a few more new fabrics tonight.
