Washable Nursing Pads

I would like to try washable nursing pads, but keep seeing bad reviews online for alot of them.  Does anyone have a brand that they like?  Also, what are the differences from the disposables?  Thanks for your help!

    I personally use both of them.

    at the begining when I would leak constantly so i used the disposable that way i would not leak through my clothes..but now (11 weeks in) I love the clothe ones they are soft and I feel more comfortable the only major difference I have heard is that the disposable have a plastic backing which does not allow your nipples to breath where at clothe does not. I would suggest try it for yourself. buy the thicker pads first I believe medela has some thicker one....and then you can get some thinner ones if you notice you do not leak so much. I have like 8 pair and that last me through my work week which i love!!

    I have a few different pairs, and I like them! Most of the cotton ones I have are pretty visible in any shirt that's fitted at all.

    I think my favorite are the cotton/hemp blend "Milk Weeds."  Each one is two circles of fabric sewn together in one spot, so I actually cut them apart.  They're still absorbent enough for me (though not a huge leaker anymore), and they're pretty flat. Also, soft and breathable!  I paid about $6 for one pair - but since I ended up making two pairs out of that, it was a great deal for me.

    Personally, I feel like the disposable are like having a maxi pad in my bra. I use Nuk, but I don't leak--they're just to catch drips and keep my bras clean. Motherhood Maternity has nicer thick ones that I really like.

    I've heard amazing things about washable nursing pads from epibi. I heard they were developed by a physician and use some special fabrics that whisk away moisture and prevent infections.   I ordered some for friends who were breastfeeding and they loved them.
