Shanti - I have quite a few of the Bohemian Rainbow ones - the overnight pad I have is great but the pantyliners don't do it for me unfortunately. Stupid me got a whole heap of them without checking whether they suited first. So I would definitely recommend trying one first, as it seems that unlike cloth nappies, there is much less of a market for second hand cloth pads. (I've wondered why that is? Is it because cloth pads are cheaper per unit so people are more inclined to buy new, or is there more of a grossness factor associated with pads compared to nappies?)
I want to try some Happy Pads & Twinkle Lily next. My favourites would have to be Outrageous, Ambrosia Designs & Obsidian Star.
All up I'll probably get another three or four overnight/PP pads (mostly for this next bub), two more daytime pads, and about four more panty liners to replace the Bohemian Rainbows. I have a very heavy flow on the first day then can get away with light pads and panty liners after that. I did use a moon cup but I get irritations from it (size issues) so I've been using cotton tampons on the first day, then pads only after that.
Although I probably won't see another period for another eighteen months after this bub is born if it's anything like after DS. I've had about four periods in the last three years.
ETA: I just bought more stuff. Two Outrageous hemp liners, one Big Pad, 1 Easy Pad, 1 Twinkle Lily Smiddsie and a PP Pad. That should do me nicely for a while LOL.
