  I always found washable cotton ones more comfortable than disposable.

  I also suggest Lansinoh.  That's what I use when I'm actively nursing.  For right now though (and yes, I've been leaking enough to make a pad wet since about 13 weeks) I would also recommend picking up some reusable pads.  While I didn't like them while nursing (soaked them too fast, needed too many of them), they do work well for now when I don't have to worry about changing them every hour or two.

  @ yella726  My boobs never leaked with my first.  At around 20 weeks or so I did get some white stuff that was stuck to my nipples (sorry for TMI) - DO NOT SCRATCH IT OFF.  I made that mistake and it for one doesn't work and two hurt like hell.  It is actually good for your nipples to have that.  Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much about it happening during the day.  Most people I know that had that happen had it during the night.

  
  

  I also agree with Lansinoh.  They were the most comfortable.  I bought the cotton ones and bamboobies.  The cotton ones got all deformed when I washed them.  The Bamboobies were great once I was far into nursing and didn't leak at night.  They are comfortable, but don't really soak up too much compared to the disposable ones.

  I liked the lansinoh ones as well, and the Johnson ones were my second to favorite. I've already stocked up on Johnson ones due to target sales and coupons.
  
  I didn't know you could start leaking that early! I didn't leak until after baby was born.

  So, thought I'd add to the established leaky boob thread instead of starting a new one.  I started leaking a little yesterday, but it's BROWN!!! Anyone else experience this?  I've read that it can be normal, but I'd feel better if I knew I wasn't the only one.  I have been taking care of babies and helping mommies breastfeed for 5 years, and, so far, I have not seen anything this color.
