I've got Avent ones, and they are OK, but really dont soak up much on a big flooding, plus they slip in my sprts bra - thus nogood when playing netball!
I also have ImseVimse (I think thats the spelling) and they are really nice now that they are washed 1000 times. They are flannel, and again, good for in between feeds, but on a heavy letdown will leak.
I have some merino wool ones which need to be lanolised, and when my nipples were sore in the first 2 months, these were wonderful!!
I also have some from Snazzipants that are microfleece, and while they are bulky, they were sensational for catching letdown. And soooooo comfy. Definitly my favourite. They almost used to go overnight too. They dont leak through the outer shell, but instead fill up, then sort of backflow back to the skin, and wick around the outside if that makes sense. So no telltale spots!
I always used a facewasher on the other side while feeding to cope with letdown, no breast pad would do it. Its only now that they are working during feeding.
I have used 2 disposable pads in this last eyar - I'm very proud
