No, but that's because I don't wear pads. I use the diva cup. I don't think it would be 'gross' to use mama cloth vs a regular pad... but I do assume they are just all stained b/c blood is hard to remove, right?

I use Fresh Moon pads (I'm on my phone so I can't post a link) and I love them. I splash a little hydrogen peroxide on them and now they don't stain anymore. I also use a Diva cup but I have days where I just don't want to deal with it and use my cloth instead.

I'm a tampon user, so haven't ventured into the mama cloth. I have looked into the diva cup. Sounds interesting. I've used the instead cups but found them to awkward and messy. I hear diva cups are much nicer.

you dont have to be a CD mama to use the 'mama cloth'! i have used cloth pads for a long time, i only have a few though cuz i use the diva cup too. they dont really stain if you soak them in water, i usually soak them then ring them out and throw them in my regular wash. you can find cute cloth pads on ebay, i got some that have skull patterns on them! i love them! honestly i dont find it a hassle at all, and i highly recommend it!

I have been using cloth pads since before having Oliver. I have Luna Pads and Glad Rags. I want to get some more off of Etsy. I love them and mine are not stained. I throw them in the wash with the cloth diapers.

Something I have always wondered, do they have velcro or something that keeps them in place?

I use the diva cup which ROCKS, but I did try the instead cups--they suck.....except for those very light days that you want to have sex and DH doesn't like to during AF...you can trick him into some :hides:

Mine have a snap on the "wing" section that holds the pad in place.
I like using mine, they are stained though because I got lazy about not soaking them a few times. It's a lot easier to use them now that I can just throw them in with the cloth diaper wash.
I like Diva cup way better than Instead, but it's still not totally comfy for me so I like my cloth pads.

Well I use tampons during the day, but pads at night. So if I used them it would only be around the house.
So you can throw them in with dipe wash? Even soaked with alot of blood?

I just started!!!! But I'm using mama cloth liners because obviously I'm nursing and have no need for the "real" thing. They are so soft and pretty and make me smile. 
At first I thought it was GROSS OMG EWE but now that I CD, it just makes sense to use them for the same reasons I CD Nolan. So I'm slowly building my stash for when I need them for the REAL thing. I love love love my liners though. Nice and soft with velour/minky on top....doesn't feel like I am wearing anything. LOVE IT.

I use the diva cup and cloth pads. (at least before I got pg) I keep an oxyclean spray bottle in my bathroom. I spray the really bad ones, then put them in the bag. Pretreating really helps. I notice the velour ones i have NEVER stain. I definatley reccomend velour.
