Reusable period pad recommendations

I am thinking of taking the plunge and getting a set of reusable periods pads / liners.

My periods have always been light but have gotten even lighter in my 40s (2 days very light flow) but I also want daily liners.

Cost wise, sticking with disposables would be best as I use 1 packet over 2 months! But getting unfragranced ones is getting harder and I want to reduce my environmental impact. Not interested in menstrual cups though.

So, which reusable pads do you think are good and is cotton or bamboo better?

I've used cheeky wipes pads and had no issues with them. The big ones did feel a bit bulky at first but at night I find that a comfort.
They do do a liner too.
I've also had some knickers from lady days who also do pads. Whilst I havent tried them the knickers were fab

I love lady days and tcs eco.

Honor your flow are also realky good but if you live in a hard water area you may find they go a bit crispy.

I do have very hard water so that is a good point.

I got some nice ones from FannyPaddams, there’s some great patterns and lots of size & flow options.

I've had pads from a few places but I think precious stars have been the most long-lasting and comfortable. The designs can be a bit lairy but no one sees them anyway!

I've found bamboo ones more uncomfortable than cotton on hot days.
