I usually use the store brand pads but I also like stayfree (thick pads). Mine are not allowed to have free run of the house while I'm at work. Since I keep them in a area I leave pads down for them and Timmy does great so I don't have to leave a belly band on him. I live about 30 mins from work so I can't go home to change his pad.
I heard Poise pads are great too.
