    Maz's are great as well as lilypadz are great because they can't be seen under anything. I've worn them under bathers and they couldn't be seen. They only leaked when I had a really big letdown and nothing would have contained that!

    I used a Booby Bib at night until my milk settled down. I tended to use Rite Aid disposable breastpads, they are pretty cheap and did the job for me. The Mazalicious ones were great for when I was really tender, they are so soft.

    I have been interested in the Lilypadz ones too - I heard from someone who did some serious leaking that they didn't work for her, but if the leaking was only moderate, then I think they sound good.

    Thanks for all the responses...sounds like the Maz-a-licious ones in the cloth could be the way to go...now just gotta find some to buy. Where is the best place to buy, as there doesn't seem to be any (that I can find) on the website Maz's link goes to. I would like to buy soon, as I could be into my BF journey again in the next few weeks.

    In that case if they are in limited stock which others would you suggest for now.

    And any more recommendations on the disposables?

    Rite-Aid for sposies - the only sposies I used that couldn't be seen in tighter clothing I found it helpful to have a stock of these, especially in early days, stashed in my bag for when the cloth ones got full and I couldn't use Lilypadz (when I had thrush and was treating with creams - the pads didn't stick well).
    Lilypadz leaked a couple of times, but considering my supply and let down abilities, I'm amazed it wasn't leaky everytime I had a let down!

    I use both! Washables during the day and disposables at night. The washable ones don't last long enough for me overnight. I have the same washable ones as you described and yes, they do stand out a bit under some clothes so I wear the disposable ones in those instances.

    I've tried SO many brands and my favourites ones are actually Johnson and Johnsons. I find they don't crease/fold up in your bra and they are super comfy and hold a lot of liquid. I leak terribly overnight and they have always contained my spills, LOL.

    I have used Pigeon, Tommy Tipee, Medela and a few other brands and they are all brilliant for holding a lot of milk, I just found that they all fold/scrunch up too much and the absorbent inside of the pads tends to fold over making it uneven in your bra, if that makes sense. I haven't had that problem wit Johnson and Johnsons. The J&J don't have the sticky strip though but maybe that's what stops them from scrunching. I love them.
