I was surfing Etsy for some fabric when I stumbled on these.
This is what Crea8tiveMama has to say about her product.
Since I cloth diaper my son, I figured I would treat myself to cloth too! It is like a party in my panties every month with all the fun fabric pads I have!
Benefits include:
Save money
Save Mother Earth
No chemicals, dioxins or sticky wings
No rashes or yeast infections are caused by cloth pads
More comfortable
Set of 2 cloth pads.
The details:
Measures: Approximately 9" in length and 3" across when the wings are snapped.
Materials: Made of a comfortable snuggle flannel with a layer of waterproof fabric and absorbent zorb sewn securely in between.
Closure: Wrap-around your panties wings secure with a snap!
Flow Meter: My pads will contain a medium/heavy flow.
Simply store used pads in cold water (to help prevent staining) and then toss them in the wash. If cared for properly, they can last for years.

Yet I am intrigued.

I can't even begin to comment......all I could think of was I already hate doing laundry
I as mental health therapist for the last 10 years of my life I always think that I have heard it all, but alas there are still new crazy things being done that I learn about. Not only is that DISGUSTING, DISTURBING, but WHY WHY WHY would you tell anyone? This caused my first trimester pregnant self to almost vomit this morning.
Yikes! I suppose it's a throwback to earlier days, and kudos to the ladies who are taking "reduce" to this level, but the description...a party? I think not.
I have a friend who swears by the Moon Cup. I try to admire the energy all of this must take.
But no - even as a cloth diaperer, this is definitely not for me.
That is nasty. Are you supposed to wash and then reuse? And I'm sorry, but there is no such thing as a "party in your panties" when it comes to that time of the month!
One word.....GAG!!!!!!
The idea had never even crossed my mind.....what next, reuseable tampons?!? I know I was born in the modern day for a reason, so why defer to archaic methods? I guess I'm not a mother earth lover....
Dry-heaving. That's what you're hearing me do. What will someone think of next, disposable...well, nevermind. I was about to take it to a whole other level.
In a desert climate, using more water for laundry is not helping the environment, thank you very much.
And. Ew.
Yuck! Why?? I think this is the official limit to being environmentally friendly.
Thanks so much for sharing this Nicole. I still think cloth diapers are even grosser. My grandma said they used to just wash the poop out in the toilet. I want to gag... want to gag some more? Marin went pee in the toilet and left the lid up. Kate decided to sample some toilet paper. I was DYING! Poor little Kate didn't know what on earth her mother was freaking out about. I told Mitch just to see if he'd faint on the spot. I tell you that story to get back at you for telling me about the party in the panties!
There is a reason that they invented disposable feminine products and diapers. Lets not mess with a wonderful invention!!!!
I agree- no way. I can just see my husband wondering why there is a bin of used pads in the laundry room soaking.
If you want to be environmentally responsible, a girl I work with swears by these:

When she told me about them, it sounded gross - but it is interesting.

Ohh, no you didn't post this! You have left me unable to even gag since I'm laughing so. I think they are so darn attractive . . . but, no. Definitely NO! Some things we can regress to for it seems to bring soothing to the soul, but this is definitely not one of those things!
Cute fabric!
Not a chance! Like it isn't unpleasant enough! Why would you want to make more work for yourself!
