| Colored potty pads??? Does anyone use or know if they even make colored potty pads? Macy's potty pad is in the kitchen and I hate people seeing yellow spots on her pad when I get unexpected visitors. I change her pads at least once a day but wouldn't it be nice if they offered colors instead of white ones where you could really see the pee stains? I don't want to change her location because she does so well where it is located. I would love to find pink ones or anything other than white!!!

| We use washable pads made by 107Barney. We absolutely love them and Cathy is amazingly talented and great to work with She has dozens of patterns and colors to chose from! Washable and reusable dog and puppy pee pads, belly bands, and diapers by T. Bumpkins & Co.

| I guess 'm too lazy to wash potty pads. I was looking for disposable ones. If I can't find them, I may try the washable ones. I can't believe one of the potty pad manufacturers haven't thought of this before.

| It's really only one or two extra loads a week. The pads don't show the urine and also hold in odors better. I just switch out the pads in the morning and we are good to go for 24 hours. No leaking onto the floor either.

| Are the washable pads really absorbable? Also, can you use a potty pad holder to keep them in place? Some of the cheaper disposable pads I have bought in the past don't absorb urine very well and the puddle just sits on top of the pad. When Macy is done tee teeing she always steps in the puddle before jumping off the pad.

Yes, they can be used with a potty pad holder. She makes the pads in 3 sizes.

| I think I found some disposable ones that come in pink and blue. I am going to order these and if I am disappointed I am going to try the washable ones.

| I use piddle pads that are for humans from Sam's Club. They absorb really well with no puddles or leaking.

| I just switched over to washable bc the disposable ones would leak so bad. I love them! I have 4 and just switch then out. I was worried about the laundry too but it's really no big deal bc the part I hate about laundry the most is hanging up. |

| I use the washable pads but I also sew thrift store scarves on the side that shows, so that they look like a throw rug in one room where people congregate..........I had a picture somewhere on this computer.........it looks great, performs great! No smell whatsoever with my pads...

| I am using the quilted pads that are 36x24 from RDB911 here on YT. They are wonderful and no puddle. I love how they are made and they don't leak.

When we added up the boxes we were buying (we have 4 pups now) it was more expensive for the disposable, altjought the washable are more expensive up front. I recently decided to make my own washable, and am really pleased.
