I'm sold! I bought the washable training pads and OMG why did I not switch forever ago? I mean I used cloth diapers for my children... what's the dif really. My husband is not going for me putting a bunch of dog pee soaked linens in the washing machine but he will get over it. I'll just make sure to run an empty load with bleach in it afterwards to shut him up. :) I didn't think they were going to work well at first, the girls flipped it over and sat on the waterproof side looking at me like they had concured their newest toy. I decided to cram it into the pee pad tray that I use for the disposable ones and the rest is history. I'm stoked! If you have been thinking about making the switch do it, it's totally worth it. I ended up getting a dozen of them fairly cheap from a site I had found in a thread here. I knew I wanted a bunch so that I didn't have to wash them daily. :thumbup: |
I just got a couple more and Dixie likes going on them. I have pee pads on them for now as CAli goes on the disposable ones but I think I may switch in time. Disposables are too expensive. |
It's amazing how much better they are, isn't it? :D I could never ever see myself washing pee pads, but old Lady has neuropathy in her hind legs so she doesn't lift them up that high anymore. She'd try to circle on the disposables and they got tangled in her legs. When she started going right next to the pad I broke down and bought Pooch Pads. I had the same reaction as you did ....what took me so long! I got over the "yuk" factor pretty fast. I presoak/wash them in 20 Mule Team Borax, then use bleach in the wash so the odor gets neutralized in the process. I have a really sensitive nose to odors and I can't smell anything after I've washed them so I'm sure no residue stays in the washer. Wait until you see how much money you save, too! |
Weird question... what do you the "used" ones before you wash them? |
Ive been thinking about them..where did you get them from? |
I bought them from http://www.personallypaws.com/catalog/index.php I will be putting them in my old diaper pal that I used for my boys diapers, same dif :) It's really just a kitchen garbage can LOL |

Here is a link to her last sale thread... not sure what she has left or if they are on sale or not but give her a shout.... we LOVE LOVE LOVE them. http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=107168 |
We love the washable ones too:D I got them at valethics.com They so much cheaper there, and they're the same thing. They have brand new, then they have reclaimed bed pads. All different sizes, and levels of quality as well. They are sanitized and perfectly fine, I got new small ones and then bigger used ones(the highest quality) and if I hadn't known which were which, I couldn't tell the difference. I do a prewash, then a regular wash with bleach, and then a triple rinse with vinegar. I recommend using unscented detergent, as they then smell different from other laundry (rugs, towels, and linens). There have been a huge decrease in potty accidents on rugs:thumbup: |

As for what I do with the soiled ones..... I fold them into fourths soiled side in and just place them on the floor of the laundry room. They don't smell as long as they're folded (and we're pretty sensitive to odors). But you could put them in a hamper or bag if you wanted. |
