I've spent most of this week perfecting my cloth pad design. -Not so much the design as the technique for making them so they don't turn out all munted looking. I also made a hot water bottle cover out of a vintage bed sheet. There has definitely been a ritualistic feminine vibe to the week.
I will never go back to disposable pads. I've been using cloth pads for 4 years now, and have recently started using 'the keeper' (another story for another time) I am confident anyone who tries reusable cloth pads of any variety will feel the same. I've tried a few different designs -wings, clips, channels etc, different absorbent materials - cotton, bamboo, wool etc. These ones are made out of reclaimed flannelet sheeting, and 100% (new) cotton covers. These are my favorite for design and effectiveness out of anything I've used so far. I am going to have these available online to buy very soon, and to celebrate, I will be having a 'green woman' give away, so stay tuned!!

ReplyDeleteGood on you!! Very inventive and what great fabric.
ReplyDeleteThose are so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI love mama pads too! It's too, sad that I can't use them because we share a washer with the other folks on our floor. I'm sure the guys wouldn't like knowing I put my 'stuff' in there. Way ta go you.
ReplyDeleteOoh I am also using the Keeper, first month is going ok. How do you find it? THe first day I was freaked out, but its much better than anything else I've tried, now I'm loving it!
