♥ 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. |

Sham Wows are great! I don't know about using them as pee pads tho. It's not designed w/the fiber technology that washable pads have. I use it to dry the dogs & cats (I'm a groomer) & it saves me from using alot of towels. I noticed that they don't wash/dry well. It loses it's shape after the first wash. But it absorbs very quickly which means less pee on our baby's bottom. I'm going to try one on top of a washable pad cuz that's what we use (pooch pads). I got mine at Bed Bath & Beyond (19.99) w/20% off coupon...so it came out to be $15.99. |
Update! Well, I've been using the Shamwow's as peepads for almost 3 weeks now. I just washed them for the 5th time and they are still just like new. I put them in a lingerie bag and wash them on "delicate", then hang them to dry as per the instructions. I am THRILLED with the Shamwow's, they absorb so well! No more buying disposable pads for this girl. I just use a white "kitchen catcher" bag as a liner under the pad, and we're good to go! I just thought that I'd update you all, since I promised that I would, and some of you were skeptical about how well these would work after a few washings. I give them :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: |
