Getting my period was exciting because I got to try out the new pads I’d ordered – they arrived yesterday.

First off, I think my favorites by far are the Happy Heiny’s. I like that they have a PUL liner so they won’t leak through, and they are the softest ones I have. Plus I like how the fluid gets pulled through the top layer into the middle layers, so it’s not just sitting on top like with the other two.

I got some organic cotton ones, and they’re okay. They worked fine, but were rougher to the touch than the HH.

The WAHMarama ones I bought last month are my least favorite. They work fine, but the fleece is a bit itchy to me (I think I have very sensitive skin).

Unfortunately even though I felt like I bought too many I still don’t have enough to get me through… but the good news is that I once again have an installed washer and dryer in my house so I can do laundry here at home. Woot! I will need to buy several more of the overnight size. I figure that even if I do get pregnant and don’t need them for 9 months I sure am going to need them postpartum.

PS, I love the color Periwinkle just as much in real life as in pictures. I don’t know why. It’s the best color ever! I can’t wait to buy diapers in pretty colors. Though, from my experience with pads – must not buy more than one or two diapers of each variety before testing them out to see if they work for me.
