I have been thinking about this for a few weeks now and i really like the idea of using cloth pads after #4 is born. I lothe disposible pads and i just cannot use tampons *shudder*.

But, i have no idea what is really involved. So here's a few questions i'd like some answers to please..

What do you like about cloth pads?
What don't you like about cloth pads?
How long have you been using them for?
How often do you need to change them?
How many would i need?
What's you favourite brand and why?
How do you stop them from staining?
What do you wash them in?

And anything else that comes to mind for you.
