The cool thing is that from your first cycle, you will recoup the cost of your washable sanitary napkins! Often with disposable protections we hesitate to put them "if there is nothing yet" so as not to waste, even if it means staining our panties. While with washable pads, you can easily put on a power 1 panty liner while waiting for your period. If there is nothing, we simply go to the wash, without wasting!
