It really was hopeless trying to soak it up too cause although I totally drenched the bed I went still through about 3 prs of pants before I had even left the house. I ended up walking into maternity with a towel between my legs (I was sitting on 3 rolled up ones in the car too) and the dippy women behind the desk said "have your waters broken?" "um no love towels, are the new black!!"
some people (i have said a few dippy comments but come on lol)
