Maternity Pads - Cloth vs Disposable

[Kazbah]

Guessing the snaps are for the wings?

(sorry, I've been lurking here all along )
:lurk:

Yep- the snaps are for the wings. Velcro would be even bulkier and give you a rash if it rubs in your inner thighs wouldn't it? I've been trying to think how else to do it too. Do they run away if you use no wings?

Cloth user here too Did all but run out and had to send DH out to get a packet of sposies, used two and holy crap they are horrible. No leaks in cloth

I've got 12 overnight/heavy pads - simply because i prefer the longer styled ones anyway. Bamboo velour ones are the best - so lush and soft.

I never thought I would be a cloth pad user, but when DD2 was born I was jealous of all her comfy fluff. Since I have started using them I have never looked back, the comfort is amazing.

My pussy is too good for plastic :P hee hee

eta my faves are twinkle lily - look out for ones with two snaps on the wings, they sit so much better, i find the single snap ones move about

I have two velcro ones that I made - snaps + bike saddle = not friends. Me without bike = sad panda.

They're good, but you have to make sure the hook bit is smaller than the loop bit, otherwise they stick to the wrong bits, and you have to round off the edged so you don't get any pokey bits.

Just wondering if there's any other ideas out there?

I like to top with cotton velour, but I did buy one that's just topped with a really pretty soft cotton, not sure exactly what, but could even be a poplin? It's PUL backed, and it's quite comfy. Not my favourite, but not bottom of the pile either...

After all the grand plans, I didn't manage to use cloth for immediately post partum due to very early delivery. However, today after DH washed my trial pack, I have a cloth pad on and it feels sooooo good! I just wanted to share that it feels great to have a nice pad on and I am hugely glad to have become a convert.

Thank you to all those who provided advice and info.. I am in your debt!!

I have it on good authority that a package containing some are heading your way

There was a special package on my door step when I got home today, and Maz, you outdid yourself in kindness!! It lightened my day to get the package of goodies.. Thank you for all of the love.
