I have just got my first AF since I fell pregnant with Jack. I am finding that wearing pads is very uncomfortable (I don't like using tampons), they are making me itchy and I feel like I am getting nappy rash, LOL. (now I know how my poor bubbas felt when they were in sposies)
I am thinking of converting to cloth, but it is sorta grossing me out (no offence intended) Do they absorb the fluid like sposie pads? Will I feel dry? Are they hard to look after? Do they get stained? Do they get smelly?
I am looking at buying from a WAHM...have seen Rainbow something (can't remember, lol) on FB...are they good? How many would I need? How often do you change them?
I use cloth pads and find they are great! They absorb well and don't stain or anything. You just need to make sure you are wearing the right ones for your flow i.e. light or super. I also use pul undies during my heavier days for extra protection. The ones I use are called white nights and these are really comfortable.
No advice about cloth pads, but have you considered using a Diva Cup? So much more comfortable and userfriendly than tampons, no smell, and no worrying about leaks.
now, af hasnt come back yet but i have planned to use cloth when it does rear its ugly head.
so far i have some swaddlebees, happy heiny, sckoon and twinkle lily pads. I much prefer the idea of the two snaps on the twinkle lily ones. I got the trial pack direct from her website
my plan is to have a large screw top jar in the toilet (cevered in contact LOL!), filled with water and with a bit of bicarb in there. Will rinse off with LS before i pop them in there and i have been advised to wash every day or at least change the water daily. i have some mini wet bags for when i am out too.
well thats my plan, how it works out only time will tell!!
Thinking of converting to cloth pads...advice?
