♥ Shamwow ♥ I was reading a post that Jamescandy made a few months ago suggesting to use Shamwow's as washable peepads. I picked up a pack today at Costco and Missy took to them right away! I laid a plastic "kitchen catcher" garbage bag (those small white ones) underneath the Shamwow, just to use as a barrier. I am going to search for a tray to use, but haven't found the right size yet. I am thrilled with how well this little setups works for us though. I got 8 Shamwows (4 large and 4 regular sized) for $20 Canadian. Hopefully they wash and wear well. I just wanted to share this little tidbit for anyone else who is looking for a cheap reusable pee pad. I originally wanted to order washable peepads from a YT'er but the shipping cost as much as the pad does! I just couldn't afford it, and I feel so guilty buying the disposable ones because they aren't very environmentally friendly. I think that I'm going to go and buy one more pack of the Shamwow's tonight. :) |
wow, i've seen the commercials, and they do seem pretty cool. i trust their pitchman. let me know how they turn out, i may make a purchase too! |
What a spectacular idea! I will try the shamwow too!!! I thought about using a doggie litter box, but I have two cats and I know it will be impossible for the cats to stay out of Honey Bear's. We use the disposable pee pads and I would rather use something reusable. Fingers crossed the shamwow works!! |

Never heard of shamwow, but I love the idea of washable. I felt guilty enough using disposable diapers, I really felt guilty about the disposable pee pads, especially since Joey is a one pee per pad dog. For a tray you might look for those that are used for boots, mud trays I think they are called, they have a short lip. I found some that were a perfect size. You can also buy heavy-duty vinyl at Fabric stores for placing under pad if you need protection and they don't like trays. It's sold on big bolts and a half yard would be more than enough. |

To the OP...thanks for the idea.....I've wanted to try these things anyway and this is just another good way to use them! |

Walgreens sells these....and to be honest I don't expect them to last long as a pee pad. They aren't made for repeated washing and with washable pee pads...that's an every day must. They stink. |

I bought these for when i detail my truck. Im gonna have to say i dont like them. Id rather use a microfiber towel. dont know about a pee pad though. they are good for wiping up spills or for cleaning the kitchen counter. |
It loses it's absorption properties with washing....so essentially it'll just be a 1/8" felt pad. They are also line dry only. |

Ha, as I was typing my last post my son spilled a 500ml bottle of ice tea. I grabbed the already damp smaller sized shamwow and it picked up every drop. If these things stay as absorbent after being washed, I think they are great for peepads. |
