Which breast pads have you found good for heavy leaking?
I got some off Trade Me that are supposed to be for heavy flow but they get soaked pretty quickly. And I've found that after I've leaked in them once they smell really bad. Has anyone had that happen with reusable ones?
And does anyone have some suggestions on what they found good?
The ones from breastmates.co.nz were good, I think they had microfleece on the inside and some kind of waterproof outside. I found they were good when I had heavy leaking, didn't smell anymore than breastmilk normally does and dried quickly when washed.
I would avoid the organic ones that the babyfactory etc sell, I found I leaked through them straight away as they had no waterproof outer, and also the fabric felt really cold and soggy when damp.
I loved the ones I got from Peapods. I also used some Baby First ones, but I found that they weren't as reliable as the PeaPods ones when I had LOTS of milk

I had these ones as well. They never leaked once and with ds I oeaked till 8 months. They dont cost the earth either.
