Versatile pad because of their larger size - I mostly use them as changing pads but they also work in the bath and as extra padding between the skimpy mattress and the sheet in the bassinet, but they don't stand up well in the wash. They pill and snag so badly you can't use them again until you cut all the strings and lumps off - some of the loops are big enough for baby to get hands and feet caught - and it's too much for a pill remover to deal with. I'm hoping they'll get to a point where there just isn't anything left to snag, but I imagine that will leave too thin to use for much else than changing pad covers.

Update 11/30/2007 - these have now completely worn out after 3-4 months of use and washing a couple of times a week. The vinyl waterproof layer inside has broken down and any spills soak straight through. However they did prove pretty durable despite the pilling problem (I constantly get my nails caught in them when picking baby up) so I will buy more if I can find them.

I bought these to use as a pad on the changing table, however they are so big that I also use them in the baby's crib. I use them as traveling changing pads as well.

These are miserable and by far the worst thing we have bought so far for our baby.

At first glance, these seem great for changing pads. Fuzzy on the outside to absorb a bit of fluid and to keep baby comfortable, plasticy on the inside to keep fluid from soaking through. They are also a bit stiff, so they fold easily and lay out nicely on any surface. After the first wash though, everything about them turns to garbage.

First of all, they pill all up and look like a dirty crows nest. Not only that, they get those pills all over your other clothes, so you have to spend about an hour picking fuzzy junk out of all your clothes.

Second, the nice plasticy (yes I know that's not a word) inside begins to separate and you can see right through these so they completely lose their "waterproofness".

So after one wash, they lose their comfort AND their waterproofness. So if you like to spend a bunch of money on disposable pads, have at it. If you expect to get any long term value out of these, FORGET IT!

As far as any other uses you would have for it? They would make miserable burping cloths because they are stiff and too big. They're not big enough to completely cover a crib or bassinet, so if you're planing on using them as a waterproof pad for that, you'd have to layer them which would leave places for fluids to leak through.

If I could give these a zero, I would. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY! I hate these and I hate the manufacturer of these for duping me into buying these.

I was hoping that they were more absorbent. They repel more than anything else, allowing baby, baby's clothes, etc to get wet/soiled. I would not recommend purchasing unless you are using them as a waterproof mattress protector only. They do not hold up well in the wash either. Even when washed on gentle cycle.

These pads are great for protecting surfaces but, pill so badly (even when air-dried only) that they become very unattractive after one washing. Still, very functional for newborns.

I use this on my pack and play changing table. They hold up well after washing and are great for travel

These were exactly what I expected and seem to be good quality. They have been very useful with her new baby around.

These changing pads are TERRIBLE. I washed them before my baby came home and not only did they ball up and end up looking like they were 10 years old (they were brand new), their fuzz balls stuck on everything else I washed them with. So there I sat, with a lint brush, trying to salvage the laundry. They are 100% not worth the annoyance. Buy another brand and save yourself the hassle. I would give this product zero stars, but apparently you are forced to assign at least one.

Pros:
The size is very good. I use it underneath both my baby and toddler for a changing mat.
It folds up nicely to fit in diaper bag.
Works as intended.

Cons:
NOT SOFT. It's wool... a bit scratchy.
I accidentally put one in the dryer and it formed pills all over the surface. So definitely hang it dry!

Overall, they are good and sturdy. I expect it should last a few years. I would recommend.

These are large enough to help you change even a very active baby. Easy to clean and the fact that there are three helps a lot. Worth the price and more.
