flute pad savers are the fluffy things you stick in flutes to keep them clean.

Flute pad savers= BAD! I'd recommend (if you're afraid of scratching the inside of your flute) a wooden tuning/cleaning rod and silk or chamois cleaning swab. Woodwind and Brasswind has an outlet store and may have some on sale currently (http://wwbw.com) as that's where I bought a bunch of wooden cleaning/tuning rods last time I ordered. Good luck!

Oh good heavens, please don't!
Those things are evil. They actually end up trapping moisture in your flute, and causing immense damage to the flute and the pads.
To keep your flute clean, simply swab it out after every use and be sure that it (the flute is dry and clean).
I don't know why band directors keep advocating for their use. they are awful.
If you really insist, go to a music store. They will most likely have one, but please understand how damaging these things are.
My flute prof doesn't use one, and I have never seen any upper level serious flutists using one, if that is any indication to you.
