What do you use on your changing pad?

Do you use something waterproof, e.g. a lap pad? Or just lay down a large pf? I don't want to have to wash the changing pad cover constantly, just wondering what other people use underneath the kiddo. Thanks!

We had one of these for when DD was younger. It's just a water proof piece of fabric. She had a habit of peeing as soon as we took her diaper off

I used the gerber PFs. Even now when I lay DS on the floor to change him esp if he is poopy, I throw one of those down to protect the carpet and then in the laundry once a week. Alot easier than washing the changing pad every week. Also though DS was never really an open diaper pee baby so I didnt really have to worry about the waterproof factor.

I bought a bunch of cheapy towels from Walmart that matched the nursery. I put those on top of the changing pad.

In the very beginning we used a bunch of the blue waterproof pads we took from the hospital over the cover. They are like puppy traing pads (which also work great for a disposable option btw). Now I just use big prefolds that she hasn't grown into yet since changes are less explosive.

We have a waterproof pad ($10 for 2 at BRU) and then a prefold on top of that. DD *loves* to pee when we take her diaper off, so it's nice having two layers to catch the liquid.

We use a prefold (whatever size she's not wearing.)

ETA: We are using the NB size right now for this purpose and they're big enough.

Basically these.  But we got a pack of 3 smaller ones from BRU.

ha- i used these, too!!      I have a boppy brand cover (pp posted a pic) that I use and I usually through a PF down.  LO doesn't usually pee outside of his diaper.  He has a low tolerance for wet dipes so I change him almost as soon as he wets.
