Sorry if this gets asked a lot, but I didn't see it on the last couple of pages.
What is your wash routine? I've dabbled in mama cloth before, but mainly only using it as a pantiliner. I'm hoping to use them for postpartum after the heavy bleeding stops, and then eventually when I get my period back, I'm hoping to try the diva cup.
Anyway, so do you wash them in a completely separate load? With cloth diapers? With clothes? Any tips or other suggestions welcome too! Thanks in advance!

All of the above for me. I throw them in with whatever is being washed but if I had a preference I would toss them in with diapers or towels. But I'm not going to plan my wash around when I need to wash the pads so it is what it is.
whole period or until wash day. My cycles are about 3 days long. So I have about 12 pads total no big deal.
Now that I'm pregnant. I will likely need to wash more often, since I won't have as many mega sized ones. I would be fine washing them with any load, but might try and rinse first if there's tons of blood.
I've heard some warning if you get a yeast infection and wash with diapers you can contaminate them. And no one wants that!! Just something to be aware of.

Well thanks, ladies! Definitely the answers I was hoping for! Who wants to do a completely separate load for a few pads? Not I!
Thanks again!
