Quick question

When you are on your period (or when somebody you know has her period, and you actually know this), how many pads do you use every day? Because my getting paid and my getting ready for that time of month happened to coincide, happily, but buying enough for a full week is going to cost a lot more than I want, so I figured that for one month I could just wash laundry more often, and add more next month, and so on, until I have as many as I want - right?

But, for the life of me, I can't remember how many pads I go through daily. Well, it's not like I can't just buy pads if I get too few to start, so... how many?

Edit: Seems a lot of people use about 4 a day, and I'd probably want an extra big/thick one for overnight, because I like my sheets. Okay. I can do that. I have great sympathy for those of you who change your pads much more often than most do (and me, to be frank) - you're either very heavy, or much more fastidious than the rest of us.
