These pads are nice for active people because they don't have snaps or wings to rub on thighs. You can also look through the layers to judge how saturated the layers are. With no waterproof layer they are very breathable too so great for people who tend to be warmer or live in warm weather.

This is a free pattern (10") in our CCO Donors group on Facebook. Other sizes are available in Teysha's Creations Etsy

Thank you so much!

you can use any regular sewing foot or a walking foot. The walking foot feeds top and bottom fabrics at the same speed so makes pads turn out better imo.

Hi! Yes we do! If they don't have a water resistant backer, we suggest adding more core or we usually put them in the lower absorbency bins to prevent possible leaks from too heavy flow. Zorb is a fantastic core and is what most donations are made out of <3 Thank you for considering donating to us to help end period poverty!

@AvisNel cutting through just a few of the layers on a diagonal will cause them to fray slightly and it helps crab flow and pulls it into the core fast. It's great for fast, gushy flows or large clots.

@@mysterylady9025 we're so happy we could help 💚

@@mysterylady9025 it should be on our website in the resources section in the patterns.

It's not fancy but works great!

we apologize for the speed, this pad took almost 30 minutes to make so we speed them up so the video isn't so long. The fabric layering chart on our website may help you if you aren't sure what fabrics to use. I used cotton for most of mine & Zorb.

Joann Fabrics actually has some super cute minky fabric, but there are destash fabric group on Facebook as well

You can use PUL on one side, the tricky part is it would now not be reversible and you'd have to make sure you know which one has the PUL in it.

“Polyurethane Laminate Fabric” or PUL is a soft, flexible, hardwearing and waterproof fabric. PUL is a laminate fabric comprised of 2 layers: a polyester fabric (typically 1mm thick) with a very thin layer of polyurethane film bonded to the reverse. I did not know either!

You are free to have your own opinion even if we don't agree with it. Everything should be washed, even new clothes, because there's lots of things that touch it in transit. This is no different. If you don't support our mission and the work we do, please feel free to leave. We want supportive people here.

Thank you. 💚 happy we could help.

It's one in the Cloth Connection Outreach Donors group on Facebook. It's 14" long 3" wide.

Thank you! 🥰 I inherited it from my husband's crafty grandmother.

It is a man made material that is very thirsty. It is made by Wazoodle (only buy from their site). It feels like felt but is meant to absorb a lot! Very easy to work with.

you could always send them a link that explains how cloth pads help end period poverty. They're a long term solution. Options are always good. Sending a link may take the stress off you but someone has to start the change. it could be you <3

Hi! Yes we do take donations! We send out thousands of cloth pads each year so every donation helps. Our donation address is on our website or email us and we can send it info@clothconnectionoutreach.org thank you for considering donating to CCO to help people in need! (If you need a receipt for your donation, just leave a note in the box with an email address and we'd be happy to send a receipt)

Great! I’m happy to hear that… I’ll head right over and get the information. Thank you for the work you’re doing!@@clothconnectionoutreachcharity

Cloth pads are great for incontinence. Liners for little sneeze pees, then moderate for more loss, and heavy for heavy bladder loss. Look for quick wicking toppers like pique, AWJ or velour and a PUL back for extra wetness protection.

Not much imo because there's no fuzzy fleece back to them. They're trimmer because fabric is spread out into 2 layers.

Depends on how you make them. I have made mine with two H shaped pieces of flannel, which gives me a light absorbancy pad with 4 layers of flannel. Add a layer of fleece to one side and that makes it a regular for me. Put one more layer of flannel in each side and that's a heavy

Hello! We have an Etsy "PADSbyCCO" is our shop name.

The gusher style is worth the extra work. They're amazing pads.

We do! They are available on our Etsy "PADSbyCCO"

Zorb is the best. It's the standard. You're going to have to put the cost into ur price like everyone else 🤷🏻‍♀️

Flannel is probably the cheapest option. But the market is so saturated with makers, buyers are wanting more high end fabrics. If you're selling budget friendly pads it may be a good market for flannel core.

Hello, we love hearing about people sharing the cloth love! On our website, there's a link to our Fabric Layering Chart that shows all 3 layers you can use for pads. There are free patterns on there also.

You can't feel the bubbles, but you can iron them out if you don't like it (before you sew the pad). They wrap around your underwear, so stay in place great.

So when you're sitting on the toilet, place the pad behind the gusset of your underwear, then place one side over the inside of the underwear, then place the other half over the top of the first half. Stays in place pretty well, and I find this style to be THE most comfy to wear.

Exposed core pads sit a little higher so make a better connection to your body, & helps prevent leaks off the pad especially by the wings of the pad.

Do you wear them? I always wonder if people wear these. I never see anybody saying they wear them and love them

​@user-um7tw6kx4r6 I DO wear them! I modified my original straight H shaped pattern to make a more asymmetrical/front bleeder style and I have to say, I love how comfy they are! I do not wear tight leggings or dresses or skirts...I mention this because these are wider pads and might be uncomfortable/visible if you wear skin tight clothes. I'm a heavy center bleeder and need a 3 or 3.5 inch wide gusset, and this style I find to be the best for that. I love how simple they are. I do make the AIO style snap pads too, but I like how simple the h shaped pads are to make. Not extra supplies needed! I have about 7 or 8 hours shaped in my own stash 😊 hope that helps.

If you're asking about patterns to make cloth pads, we have some on our website clothconnectionoutreach.org

Curious as to why you wouldn't trace your sew line on the floating layer. It's easier to get the core centered imo.
