mamacloth users, a ?
I bought some cloth panty liners several months ago to use when I'm spotting because the disposable ones were irritating me. Anyway, now I'm looking to purchase more and am wondering how many I should purchase. I usually only have a light flow for 3-4 days and may spot occasionally before/after.
Currently I have four 7-inch panty liners and one 7-inch mini pad. All from these are from Essence of Eve (which I love!). I was considering getting some of the pads from her Economy Starter Pack and some from her Organic Bamboo Velour Starter Pack. Each has the option to include any of the following in light, moderate, or heavy flow: two panty liners, two 7-inch mini pads, two 9-inch petite pads, and two 11-inch regular pads.
Sorry this ran longer than I expected...anyway, I was just hoping someone might be able to give me an idea of how many of each type of pad I would need.

Re: mamacloth users, a ?
I don't know for sure. I only use mine as backup for my DC on really heavy days, so I only use one per day. I have 3 and that seems to work well.
I would say maybe 2-3 a day as a conservative guess, depending on how often you want to wash them.
Also, I would probably steer clear of the bamboo. Although bamboo is EF because it grows back really quickly, the process for turning bamboo into cloth is horribly un-EF.
