    I have some washable ones from Target, the brand escapes me, but they aren't very good. During the day is alright, but I have massive amts of milk and leak right through as soon as I start feeding Mina (on whatev side I'm not feeding on at the time). I literally soaked through 2 enough that I could squeeeeeeze milk out and have it drip. UGH. I think I'm going to try to make some with flannel material. I wish my washable ones were better! I've tried disposable and they work a lot better, but I'm just not into throwing away breast pads several times a day. It seems so wasteful.

    I have the Medela ones.  They came in a pack of 4 in a little mesh bag.  I like them.  Washable is better for earth and my pocket book + they lay a lot smoother than the disposable ones.

    There are a few sellers on Etsy! I'm looking to get some. Here is one seller I like. I asked one of her past buyers if they would recommend them after using the pads and she said they were great:

    Artsy Fartsy Foo Foo on Etsy.  I have 4 pairs from when I was nursing DD, and I am ordering 4 more pairs - I love them that much.  She's taking a holiday right now, but will be back in the new year for new orders.

    I also have the Medela ones, but I don't love them.  I only use them in a pinch, when my AFFF ones are all in the wash.  I will soak through the Medela pads (there's no waterproof layer).  AFFF pads have a waterproof outer layer, so I don't get any wet spots on my bras or on my shirts.

    This seller! I have 6 pairs - 2 in black, nude, and buttercream. They are also pretty thin so no "lines".

    I ALWAYS leak through them. I tried Medela, and some brand I can't remember the name of. I didn't find them worth it

    Ahh well so far I haven't leaked through anything.  I don't leak much.  The pads usually only need to 1) protect my clothes from Lasinoh and 2) catch a few drops.
