I've been using peapods washable breast pads to try and contain the excessive leakage I seem to have at the moment but, apart from the fact that they're wetting right through, some of them have turned pink (??!) and smell really bad, even after I've just washed them...

Anyone got ideas on how to clean them properly (i've tried soaking in vinegar/tea tree oil) or suggestions on good brands to buy new ones?

cheers in advance..

I've got some Foxybots ones, love the minky. The Ultras are heaps more absorbent than the regulars too.

Foxybots are what I have been using and I'm very happy with them. THough they do bunch up and can be a little annoying at times. By the end of the day they are a little smelly.
So the negative said I have to say they are soft and comfortable. I haven't tried any other brands though.

I'm with you on peapods getting really nasty smelling. I soak them in nappisan now and make sure they are very very very well dried.

i have gone back to avent disposies as well, as they are less obvious if I'm wearing a more fitting top.
