I wanted reusable pads as I am trying to buy fewer disposable products. I also wanted 100% cotton as it is more environmentally friendly and better for your body. These fit those two criteria well. Note that because it is 100% cotton they do shrink in the wash, making them a smaller diameter and a bit thicker than when you first receive them. The outline of the pad may show through your bra/shirt if they are thin/tight but I wasn't wearing anything thin/tight with these.
As far as absorbency goes, I had no issues with leakage.
I did use these with Earth Mama nipple butter and it always seemed to wash out fine.
My advice is to change them often. I made the mistake of not changing often enough and I think that contributed to the longer-than-desired episode of thrush. During that stage, I boiled these in water prior to washing. Then I washed with a normal load of clothes or towels. We always use Tide free & gentle powder.
