I'm wanting to get some cloth breast pads and was wondering if anyone had any favourite brands, styles, stockists they would recommend. Thanks.

I love the feel of Stacey's ones - I haven't used them but have cut the material out, very nice.

i needed HEAPS! when i first started out! (although it didnt help that i was using a brand that wernt absorbant enough for my high leakages!!  until i foound one that worked! ) i had 10 pairs! because i would pretty much have to change with every feed (leaking hard nutt! while feeding!) but now that things have calmed down i have 5 pairs that i use  and when i run out (if they are all in the wash) i fold up a hemp insert and shove it in my bra! lol if im at home of course!

I would personally get a couple from a couple of different places to see which ones are best for you (just like Cloth nappies)
Once you have found some that you like and are absorbent enough, invest in about 8 pairs (4 in wash, 4 out of wash, washing every day)
Also be aware that some fabrics take a few washes to reach their maximum absorbency e.g. hemp, wool, bamboo. I use Microfribre in mine as that is a high absorbency material straight away.
Hope this helps!
