Been on them for a year. Honset it was because I got tired of wasting money on disoplables. And it cause me too much anxiety choosing the right ones and having to wear 3 to four over night ones each time. I had to get the overnight one and use at least 40 per cycle. So the cloth ones suit my flow with the length. Just wearing one overnight pad now for 6 to 8 hours instead of 3to 4 for maybe 2 hours like with disposable is a miracle to me. Hearing the health benefits is a bonus.
awesome video! i started making and wearing cloth pads back in January of 2017. I love making and wearing cloth pads. I primarily use soap and water to clean my cloth pads. It's hard to keep my pads stain free.
Yes!!! I love cloth pads they are so comfortable, pretty, and keeps money in my pocket which is always a plus!!!! You should join my facebook group Purposefully Crafted
Am I the only one who's Mum started them on cloth pads. I've rarely used disposables apartment from that one Holiday when I didn't bring enough cloth ones and had the buy disposables.
My mom got me period underwear about a year ago and have used them for overnight which had been amazing! Zero leaks compared to using a pad since I move too much in my sleep, plus way more comfortable. I just started my switch to cloth pads, I got a small set from PIMP 40%off and they worked perfectly just as absorbent as the Always flex foam I have used for 10yrs. I did end up using a flex foam the first day since it was heavier than normal and I didn’t have a compatible cloth, but after that the cloth did just as well. Now I need to round out my collection so I don’t have to hand wash between days. I will say that my period underwear and the cloth pads did have a smell but less so than disposables. I look forward to seeing if the smell changes or if my cramps reduce as I completely stop using disposables as opposed to a combo. I am working on switching all disposable items to reusable (and plastic free where applicable) but it is a slow process as I use up what I have.
Jade W I love making my own! I actually learned how to sew by sewing cloth pads. My first time using a machine. I can’t wait till I get to the 7 year mark. Have you notice any dramatic changes to your body and or cycle?
@@PurposefullyTasha yes! I am very allergic to disposable and I always ended up with rashes every month since I started using reusable pads I haven't had to deal with any of that in the slightest My cramps are less my PMS symptoms are also significantly less I don't get the headaches and nausea that would come with my period Anymore and my period Is more regular
I’m gonna get started making them! I have very horrible cycles I’m 45 yrs old and my gun said there’s no sign of menopause anytime soon ! Omg i wis love to use cloth paper towels , I’ll atkeast give it a try !
I’m am converting and trying to convert my 22 y/o daughter also. Can you do a video on how many cloth pads we should get to start? And how we wash 🧼 them? Thank you!
I sure can. I will give you a typed explanation now just Incase I go into labor. But I would suggest 10-12 mixed absorbencies to start with. Do you have a Facebook page ? I can add you to my group so you can see a quick clip on how I wash them.
Wonderful video! I am in the process of converting back to cloth pads because of money and also sustainability reasons. I didn’t know that it also had a health reason, and it’s a bonus. You video is very helpful. Thank you!
