narrow but long/heavy pads?
I've bought some cloth pads and while I like concept, the ones I've purchased are too wide in the crotch. I'm not an especially petite person and I don't wear thongs or anything, but with all of them, the pads are a lot wider than my underwear so they kind of bunch up. Even if I were to put another snap in, I don't really want the areas with padding/zorb/layers of flannel to be wrapping around my underwear. I'd prefer for the absorbent part to be only as wide as my underwear.
Ideally, I'd like some that are less than 3" wide at the crotch. But I have a pretty heavy menstrual flow, so I still want them to be LONG (at least 11") and absorbent. I have no idea why so many manufacturers make their longer/heavier pads wider at the crotch while their lighter pads are narrow - it's not like anyone's legs get farther apart when their flow is heavier. Thick is fine, as long as they're narrow from side to side in the crotch.
Any suggestions? It looks like Lunapads are 2.5" wide but I'd like other options with a more all in one sort of design. Also, I strongly prefer pads with PUL in them rather than water-resistant fleece.
