Patch vs pads

[lynzy420]

I just keep a diaper pail in the basement I use 2 a day, they are not all that bulky and I wash them once a week, sometimes 2x a week. I don't use bleach, I use a bit of pinesol for disinfecting purposes, its easier on the fabric than bleach and laundry detergent.

I have had my pads for over a year, I think. Mine are really like new still. The 2 medical ones I have are falling apart...just my opinion that the ones made by 107Barney are much more absorbent, sturdy and I am sure last for years.

I honestly think the washable are 1000x worth it.

Regarding the washable pads vs disposable pads - does the OP have easy access to a washer and dryer. Some folks that live in apartments etc don't have that convenience.

Good point. Mine I got from a medical supply were so cheap I could get 3-4 compared to the other places that sell them as patterns. Mine still look new. Very heavy duty. And I use bleach and it didn't wear the fabric out. I was worried more of he plastic like material . But I'm not using a full cup either. I choose the plain white one just hoping when I put rugs back he may notice the difference. Maybe not?? Anyway if the op doesn't have access to a washer and dry better off having a diaper pail and a full load of pads. The reusable ones regardless of the ones you get. In the long run they will pay for themselfs in cost vs disposable pads. Also they stay out of the landfills
