If you are looking to make your own washable potty pads, try to locate a company that supplies bed pads to hospitals. Quite often they GIVE AWAY pads that aren't suitable reuse for commercial purposes. We have a company here in town that makes the pads and supplies them to hospitals. When they receive pads back that weren't made by their company they "dispose" of them after they are washed and sterilized. I have a basement full of pads some of which are almost brand new. I've had fun giving them to friends and family - plus, you'd be amazed at all the purposes I've found for them. |

I sewed the layers together inside out and it was fine until I turned it the right way.The towel makes the edges and the corners very chunky.so more than a potty pad,it looked like a blanket.I didnt like it. For the next one,I have bought some thin quilted material and some microfiber.So even though it will have 4 layers (the matress protector sheet,the quilted material,the microfiber and the decorative flannel on top) itīs still thinnner than the one made with towel and itīs more absorbant too ;) Oh,and to make 4 potty pads (more than enough) I will only have paid about 20euros and theyīll last for AGES (years if I dont use bleach in the wash) :D BTW,never use fabric softer to wash the pads..it makes them way less absorbant ;) |
I just ordered the "reclaimed" laminate pads. I'm anxious to see how they work. Thanks for the suggestion! |
You might try using plain white vinegar in the rinse water to kill bacteria, mold, etc. I did that with cloth baby diapers and my babies never had diaper rash with cloth diapers. It is how the diaper services (used to?) diaper-rash-proof the cloth diapers. My Grandmother always used white vinegar in her rinse water. |
Well, I have now sewn together 2 pee pads: waterproof mattress pad and 2 layers of cotton (outside top and bottom) They are only 'okay'. Maya likes to bring a toy over and sit on the pad to chew the toy. I am thinking she will not want to pee on the pad...so, not a successful project:thumbdown |
