breast pads..

[Asparagus and Lemons]

I bought some bamboo that has a layer of PUL on one side..
Does anybody know how I can use it to make some breast pads? I need them quite absorbant as the milk bar seems to always be leaking out the front door.
I was thinking..(from breast outwards..)
minky, bamboo/pul(with pul on outside), then cotton?
I have no idea!
TIA

I have some of maz's too, but Im after a bit more absorbancy..
Hmm.. does anybody use microfibre in them?

You could use it... Minky, microfibre, bamboo/pul, cotton... Just make sure the microfibre is NOT on your skin... I did some like that... but I had hemp not bamboo... Good luck.

Cool, thanks

You want to make them as symetrical as you can, and want the layers of material to be even when they are joined- no puckering- or else they stand out under your clothes and look funny. (allegedly)

Thanks everyone
another question..
What kind of thread should I use?
the ones I made.. well the milk is leaking through the seams!

i was going to post about making breast pads!

A few years ago here, there was a bamboo co-op and I bought some bamboo. it had the best intentions, but never got used.

Now I want to make some breastpads but would have no idea.

I even think I have some pul around here too..

I have no access to minky or anything like that - just a few layers of bamboo and one of pul (and maybe a print outer? I have a mil with heaps of cotton print fabric!) - would that work?
