I love love love my washable breastpads. I wouldn't recommend the idea that you never have to replace them but they do last about four months before you need to get rid of them. The online freebie deals where you pay the shipping is a good deal and they're good quality or the white ones from motherhood maternity
Get the always infinity overnight the orange ones I have always been a heavy heavy bleeder to the point I can't use tampons but those always work for me and they are long so they cover from front to back and they are thin but will hold u all night they r better than hospital ones
Im just going to wear depends so i feel secure lol
Pads: the bigger the better at least at first. Breast pads: disposable, it sticks to your bra so no shifting.
Everyone's blood flows diff I used kotex night x2 because I bleed horrible. But my friend used pantie liners because she didn't bleed much. I say go with bigger. Bulk Sam's club, bjs those kinda places. Breast pads I like both. If you are out n about take n toss are good but home wash ones are good... So its all different. Prob not much help
