i started with the cheapies, leaked thru everything, was changing maternity bras and clothing SO many times per day it wasn't funny. I was continually checking to see if my bras were dry yet!!!

Ended up buying the cloth breastpads i had thought i would never buy (too expensive i had thought when pregnant), the Mommy's Touch ones from Natures Cradle, $12 a pair i think, i got three pair and they saved my sanity. They have PUL on the outer, which is waterproof, and soft microfleece on the inner, so no more scratchy feelings.

They come in a few sizes, i'm a DD and i got the large ones - they looked enormous, but as soon as i used them the first time, i realised, yep the sales assistant was right, i really did need that size to catch all the milk.

Many other cloth breast pads i have looked at online, are much smaller in diameter and aren't waterproof.
