Cloth
Menstrual Pads

Once
you try a cloth menstrual pad, you will never go back to plastic
again. Don't you deserve to wear cloth too?

Place template on
the fold of
the fabric and line up with the
fold line on the
template, cut
one. Take the same
template
and cut 2 pieces from the full
template. Not on a fold. Cut about 8
pieces of fabric from
the oval template.
This number
depends on the thickness of
the fabric.
|

|
|
Here are all the
pieces cut out.
My oval pads are 4
layers
each. This is thick double
napped flannel I'm using.
|

|
|
Serge around the
edges of your
pads and down the center
seam of the 2
separate body
pieces. This prevents
fraying
of
the flannel
|

|
|
Take your two
separate body
pieces
and place them over
the
whole body
piece, lining
up the edges. Your two
center seams
with overlap
|

|
|
Serge around the
entire body. |

|
|
Here's the body
and the two
pads.
|

|
|
Add a snap or two
and you're
almost
done. I say a snap or
two
because some
underwear
have different crotch widths.
If you
add an extra snap you
wont have extra
wings hanging
down
from your underwear.

I like to have
extra protection so I take a
quilted waterproof
crib
pad and cut one
oval liner
and serge the edges. Once I
did this,
I never ever had a
leaking problem. |

|
|
I put the
waterproof pad in last so it's
closest to the
underwear.
I toss the soiled
pads in a bucket of water on
top of my
washer to soak. At
the end of my
cycle I pour the
bucket into
the washer and
spin out the water. I then do a
regular wash
and dry
them in
the dryer.
