Thank-you for sharing Claire and Ellen. Love your informative videos. Slowing with each new project and video my pads are getting better and better. I even made a few for my daughter who absolutely loved them from day one. She even made a trip to the fabric store with a special request. Your videos are helpful, encouraging and informative. Have a great day!
Hi! Thank you for your videos! I LOVE watching them. I noticed that the presser foot you show for topstitching looks just like mine. Do you have a Husqvarna Viking machine?
Hi, I do have a viking yes :-) I actually found though i did not need a walking foot when i changed to that machine, i mostly used my walking foot with my old machine instead.
Yes! Me too. After I saw the foot you were using, I fished it out of the little compartment and have been using it since! Thank you again for your videos. I TRULY enjoy them. They have helped me on my love of cloth journey. I even got my daughters to try them. I think they are ready to make the switch to full time cloth soon, instead of just at home.
Hi Dawn! Disposables are actually not sterile, they are not made in sterile environments or using sterile ingredients. They contains dioxins and other cancer causing chemicals too and are made from plastic which is so bad for us and the environment. Cloth pads are actually really easy to clean (i just put a load on now lol). You take them off and store them in a wet bag, these are pretty bags than have a pul lining (like the lining in the wipe clean makeup bags). When i have enough for a load i pop them in the machine on a rinse cycle, then go back and put in detergent and run them on a 40. Generally they dont stain but if you have any come out with a stain then i just put on a little ecover stain remover and pop it back in with the next load of normal washing i do :-) They dont sweat or smell unlike disposables as they are natural fibre and breathable and actually hold more blood not to mention comfy ;-)
Flow Of The Goddess Cloth Pads Honestly I had a hysterectomy at 31 I'm 52 now. Simply washing them is not something I would want to do. But you enjoy my daughter uses a cup thingy she likes it a lot????...
@@FlowOfTheGoddessClothPads I always wash them by hand as soon as I take them on and hand them. At the end of the cycle I put them in the washing machine and wash them really good
@@dawnbaker9808 why not? What's wrong with simply washing them? All of us women when we misjudge our period day and stain our underwear,wash them,right? I wash my stained underwear when that happens and I wash my pads,same blood,my blood,not disgusting. It's our society that makes us believe that we are disgusting. We're not.
Simona S. I used cloth nappies for both of my children and obv, they took what ever my children “produced”. I used a nappy “soaking” bucket with hydrogen peroxide (can’t use bleach after ingesting it as a child due to my mother’s carelessness, which has left me with PTSD if I smell it). Anyhow, i agree with you, if a hydrogen peroxide soak and wash is good enough for my children, why shouldn’t it be good enough for me? I’ve dug the old soaking bucket (which was a home brew bucket with lid actually) out of the attic and I’m excited to get going.
This video was very helpful! I was at my wits end until I watched this and our worked like a charm, thank you so much
