Cloth pads - how many do you own?

[Indadhanu]

I have about 20 that I made myself. So gooooood! Can't wait to make more!

I could probably make some myself too but I remember checking out that site that was mentioned and saw so many gorgeous fabrics and clever designs... i might buy a few and then copy the ones I like the best... ETA: good points Maz... I have weird anatomy... I think my flow is forward too. I don't mind short ones... there is always so much clean pad at the back that a long one is only needed at night for when i roll onto my back.

I tinkered with the idea of making some, but I just don't have the time now to do it. I would much rather see the money go to a WAHM and save myself the hassle if they don't turn out right LOL

So true! Well have to do the school run but as soon as I get back i'm going to place an order!!!!

okay so i will be honest here and admit that im one of the ones that think they sound a bit yucky! but i am also curious - what makes them so good? how are they any different to the ones u buy at the shop? do they not stain? do they soak thru you your undies? how do they stay in place?

What makes them so good is that they are AWESOME hehe. They are flexible, soft and gorgeous! Plus I was coming up in rashes from the disposable ones, not sure if it was the glue or the plastic, but it happened from when Jazz was born so I switched to cloth. Shel was sceptical but mine aer topped with green microfleece so the blood doesn't look red, which stops her sqeamish stomach LOL.
I don't have one stain and they're 7 months old now. Mine are backed with PUL, so they are waterproof, and I personally prefer the ones with wings for that added peace of mind

I can't go back to disposable, compared to cloth they feel like you're wearing cardboard between your legs.
