I've got 4 packs of these.. I find the absorbency much better than disposables, the only problem is they will eventually leak onto your bra as there's just another layer of cotton at the back. It wouldn't hurt if they were backed with a waterproof layer tho I suppose that would make them less breathable. On the plus side they feel very soft against the skin, are very comfortable and slim (approx. 3mm thick). I have a very fast let-down and end up soaking in milk whatever I do, but changing them after every feed keeps me more or less dry and they do well between the feeds. That much milk is the reason why I need so many of them but I was getting through as many, if not more, disposables. Would recommend.
