That's it!! I'm converted. What do I need?

Postby monsterm » Tue Jun 29, 2010 6:42 pm

So af returned when Amelie was 12wks :( Since then none of the disposable sp I have tried works. Everything leaks. I even treated myself to the expensive "silk feeling" ones & guess what, it just slides off them :roll: So after changing my trousers 3 times today, I've decided to get over my issues with blood ( :puke: ) & get on the csp bandwagon.

How many would you say I'd need minimum to use csp full time? What is the best combo for a heavy flow? obv/wool back?

I use hollow oak night pads when I'm heaviest and they cope admirably :)
They're obv topped and wool backed...

I have about 14 I think and as long as I wash every day/other day then I have enough. I use full time. I always had a heavy AF but only need a medium with csp with a couple of heavy for one day! BV and wool back is what I find best.

fab :wine:

i have around 15-20 im usually on for around 4-5 days in that time i prob would have done 1-2 washes. depends on your flow i suppose, im heavy (sorry tmi!) :oops: i could prob do with some more day ones, night time i have 4 i think which is plenty.

my fave are puddlekins, hollow oak, and GWTF (go with the flow) all velour and wool backed, find these last longer and have no probs with leaks :)

HTH :hug:

Thanks ladies. There is a website that I remember being mentioned here that compares different csp. What's it called again?

I'm no csp expert, but just wondered if you would consider a mooncup? I was TOTALLY against the idea of it before trying it (the thought of washing out blood from it made me :puke: ), but am a complete convert now, and actually find it much easier than csp as I find I need to "change" (ie wash it out) a lot less than I would csp. Does that make sense?

Just putting it out there in case you hadn't already considered it :widesmile:

PS is the website you're thinking of called luxury moon?

Thanks ladies. That's the one. So how many times a day would you chance csp if you have 15-20 & do a wash in 4 days? I would have thought that would be enough for the whole af :-?
