oh oh oh I can answer this!! Last weekend I had my first cloth AF

I am a 3 day bleeder, first half of day 1 is light, second half of day 1 is heavy and day 2 is heavy, day 3 spotting.

I brought 14 pads, some liners, some longer ones. They worked really well, were SO comfy, none stained and they didn't smell at all! Because all of mine were wings with snaps they were a little more obvious to ME that they were there than a sposie one but I am so allergic, I get lumps and itchy (sorry TMI) but had none this time.

I just chucked them in a bucket, and put them through with the nappies on a 40 degree hot wash no detergent, they came up all nice and clean without a stain in sight. I did wash them every night. The 14 lasted me till the end and I used them all

All mine are AIO, but you can get ones that aren't if your a light bleeder or for spotting.

I brought mine from Platinum Panties (google it) and they were very cheap cos I got them on sale

Photos are in my FB, which is in the link in sig (for everyone else) but I have you anyways In the July album I think (or fluffy mail?)
