...After having my baby 6 weeks ago I have realised the importance of having some good quality breastpads - especially if you are breadtfeeding.
I first bought disposable breastpads from boots which were reasonably cheap but I found that they scrunched up too easily and irritated my npples so I decided to use some washable ones. I first bought the Avent washable breast pads which I was satisfied with but I needed some more as you only get 3 pairs in a pack! I bought the Kushies washable breast pads - not becuase they were different or anything but just becuse I was placing an online order from one of the baby stuff .suppliers and these are the ones that were on sale here - so it was pure laziness that made me buy this particular brand!

...Kushies Ultras are and all in one reusable nappy with the waterproof layer built in. They have a velcro strap which is similar to a disposable. You can use a nappy liner with this nappy which works on a one way basis, as to not allow the wetness to linger on baby's bum.

...We were looking to cut household bills when I was pregnant and Kushies looked like a good solution. Having battled through the minefield of so many reusable nappies on the market.
We initially bought Kushies Ultra, the idea is that they are "just like a disposable". They are certainly very easy to use, there is no wrapper, the whole thing is one unit which has velcro fixers like a normal disposable nappy. The outer part is waterproof and the inner is made up of cotton flannelette 2 layers of polyester/rayon. This makes them very soft, but very bulky. Which is actually quite handy when Baby starts to try sitting up!
You can buy disposable liners to put in the nappies the idea is that they stop the poos going through to the nappy, we tried a few of these and no matter how "soft" the manufacturers say they are, they all seemed...
