In reply to Joseph Taylor:
Not really What you want to hear, but cheap and good (and durable) don’t exist in the same product for pads.
I’ve had or used Moon, BD, Ocun, and Metolius pads. And all have had issues. Moon turns to mush in a season. BD, Ocun and Metolius had material issues. Also some older stuff (prolly don’t exist anymore).
Currently have Organic and Snap pads, which seem to be durable and good (but spendy). That said, even they ain’t perfect. The P’Tit Wraps I have are great unless you’re into doing lots of sitstarts. The construction makes them pretty thin for that. And the additional load-flap has some serious design flaws (pretty strange, since Organic is mainly a pad company, so you’d imagine they’d be able to get that right).
That being said, If limited funds are an issue, Ocun seems the best budget option. Spychi (sp?) might also be good, but since I haven’t used them, I can’t say.
