Hi, I use one light pad(Depends) pad per every 24 hrs. Usually when I change the pad it has almost nothing in it. Somedays a little more, somedays a little less.

Hi, it varies tremendously, if I've been sitting a lot and getting to the toilet to evacuate properly, then fewer. If I'm working with clients (as a massage therapist) and standing/moving all day, then many. I don't want to smell, so change frequently. If I'm drinking a lot of water, then clearly more than on the days when I'm dehydrated. That's such a subjective benchmark, number of pads. I suppose that if they were all weighed, then that would make sense.
