Washable. The cotton or whatever filling in the disposables ones gets rucked up. Also cheaper in the long run. Might want to have a few around though as the washables are thicker and you can sometimes see the outline depending on your shirt material. Very flattering to walk around with two circles on your chest!

Well -can I second both the Lansinoh disposable ones - really comfortable and never stuck to those sore nipples early on! and the washable ones Molly mentioned with the lace back (can't remember the make) as the only washable ones I tried that didn't go hard or get uncomfortable.

I used a mixture of washable and disposable - tended to use the washable ones when I was at home and disposables when out and about.


I too was a fan of the Lansinoh brand, but towards the end of my breastfeeding "career" discovered that Boots own brand slim breast pads are exactly the same for a fraction of the cost.

Another vote for disposables although I found the Lasinoh ones too stiff. Took me ages to find pads that were soft as I found many of them irritated my skin (don't think my skin's that sensitive....),


Anyway, found Tommee Tippy Closer to Nature the best and bought in bulk on Amazon which worked out cheaper than Boots ones that way.

Another vote for Tommee Tippy disposables - I had so much milk leakage I was having to double up on breast pads and the TT ones were the only ones that eventually really worked. Bit pricier but comfy and they came in their own little plastic wrapper so easy to just grab them and take them with you when you are on the run...

    • A Google search brought up eleven Chango  branches, although they don't all seem to be listed on their website. In the order they came up: East Dulwich, Clapham Common, Mayfair, Wandsworth, City of London, Wimbledon,  Parsons Green, Kensington, Highgate, Richmond, Hampstead. I think it is the positioning of this new branch that has mostly got to me. I accept that they would have to go for where a space became vacant, but Lordship Lane is pretty long, even just the part with shops in,  and choosing to  open a stone's throw away from Chacarero seems mean, to say the least. I wonder if they have made contact with Chacarero. It would be nice to think they had (in a friendly way, obviously!) As regards the apparently  marketing spiel, at least one of the online reviewers also refers to a Chango branch (the Parsons Green one in this case) as a "gem". Probably just coincidence and a word in common use to describe such places. I wouldn't know. I'm ancient 🤣
    • I like empanadas. I don't think Chango is a massive chain - it's got a few stores all in London I believe (stand to be corrected if I've got that wrong). I don't see a problem with them opening on the Lane personally. I really like Chacarero, but that doesn't mean that they should be immune from competition - if they're successful and open a couple more stores, are we then meant to stop supporting them for being a 'chain'?  That opening post does sound a lot like marketing spiel though. Is the OP perhaps connected to the new business I wonder?
    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has.
