DO IT!! You'll never look back. I use Twinkle Lily pads. I just bought one of those and liked them so stuck with them, but the mummapads look good too. I like how they're adjustable to fit your underwear width XD
They are super easy to look after. When you're finished with one just chuck it in some plain cold water to soak, then in the wash and then on the line and you're done! Pretty much the same as nappies (except the soaking part) with regards to the sort of washing powder you use, putting in the drier, sun gets out stains etc etc... I look forward to AF every month now ^^;
