Boostable Pads
These are a pad that has an absorbent pad that can be worn with an extra “booster” to increase its overall absorbency (and sometimes added waterproofing that isn’t included in the pad). These are not pocket pads, or Base+Insert pads – as these are a pad in their own right, but you can add extra absorbency and/or waterproofing if you need to – generally under the pad.

About Cloth Pad List
The aim is to list all known brands of cloth menstrual pad (Around the world), including where to find them, details on the pads themselves as well as where you can find reviews of the pads. The list was started on www.clothpads.org, has been moved here, where it can be expanded and updated more easily.
More information on cloth pads (DIY guides, FAQ etc.)

To use this site:
To look for pad brands in your country, click on the appropriate link in the “brand list country” link list. You will then see a list of brands in that country. To search brands by type of pad, click on the appropriate type of pad from the “Brands list by Style” links list.
I think there should be separate sections for booster pads intended to go on top (with the purpose of changing the booster throughout the day) versus under the base (to increase absorbency). Thanks.

There is. These ones I’m classing as “boostable” have the boosters not in contact with your skin – so they are either under the pad, or fit into the pad (like a pocket but the pad has it’s own absorbency to function as a pad itself).
So anything with “boosters” or inserts that fit on top, is a “base+insert” pad by my definitions
