Got ~Leaking~ Milk?

   Leaking boobs? Spots on the front of your shirt? Sounds like the job for breast pads.
    Doctors warn about bacteria growing on wet nipples, I'd love to see them try to keep a nipple dry when it is gushing at the sound of a crying baby.
   Stores sell washable breast pads that are no better then a folded cotton handkerchief that will still soak through your clothing when you get more then a few drops on it. Or there are the expensive super high tech disposable breast pads with a dry shield and waterproof back side that can hold a few more drop before leaking from the bottom and drenching down your stomach.
    I know not every mother out there has the super soakers I have but here is what I picked up over the years.
    Feminine sanitary napkins, maxi-pads, those nice blood soaking pads of our mothers' works way better and cheaper then those high priced, high tech breast pads.
     You can go super cheap or go all out and get ones with odor control if warm sour milk is an offensive smell to your loved ones. Get the ones without wings and cut in half. If you have spare time or maybe a personal assitant you can glue,or tape the cut ends. If ends are not secured, try to aim the cut part down so that any fuzz drops below my nipple far from hungry baby mouths.

   Most the time I find myself juggling a baby while frantically cutting a pad in half shoving it down my bra and being thankful I am not padding my bra with paper towels to answer the door for the postman.
    Got any funny milk leaking stories to share?
