Dont put disposable breast pads in the washing machine, they absorb so much water they burst open and the gross crystals get through everything.  Hope it all comes out on the second wash   ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

I guess better to be a breast pad than a disposable nappy with heaps more crystals in it! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Ah, we've done the nappy here. Took a fair few rinses to get the crystals all out! Especially since they'd dried on the clothes on the line already - oh dear! ------------- Andie |
