Everywhere? I've been thinking about trying some

On their website

$10 a pad is on sale?  Is that right?  I'm not seeing anything about sale prices, and they're the same price as on Nicki's site. unless I'm missing something?

Stringy, nevermind, I found the code on their FB site. got it! ordered a mini liner and a "free" sample mini liner to try out.

yup, thats pretty much what I ordered. They already shipped so maybe will come soon enough to check out and order more before month's end.

Check out the haakaa pump too. It's like the milkies milk saver but holds more and suctions on.

How does it suction on and stay in place?

You just squeeze the bulb at the bottom and let go when it's on your boob. It works best when you're nursing or pumping on the other side so that you can catch the letdown with the haakaa on the other side.

I was looking into one of these.  Does it work as a manual pump as well?  I was looking for something to manually pump in the mornings before work.

My newly BFing friends swear by that tiny hand pump thing. Swear by it!

I think it theoretically could be used to pump a little but it wouldn't replace a true hand pump I don't think.

[linewifekat]

Ya, I don't think it would be very productive as a manual since you still have to get a letdown started. If you're engorged from not pumping or baby sleeping through the night it could possibly work with some hand expression.

The milkies milksaver is the greatest freaking invention ever. I got it to try because I am a very leaky nurser and the amount of milk I'm saving is mind blowing.

I've heard good things about the haaka as well. I'm not really a leaker with baby #2, but it would've been great two years ago

Sorry, I didn't realize everyone else mentioned it too.

Beneficial nematodes for my gardens. Should help with grubs.

they look like wool Toms!  I kinda love them. just not the current colors.

The loungers are just like wool Tom's, that's an apt comparison. Only way more comfortable, obvs. They are always coming out with new colors, so check back.

New colors out now! Just ordered a pair of men's size 9 loungers in the SF grey.
