My body is not liking commercial tampons, plus I am not thrilled with all the chemicals in them, and commercial pads are awful, so I'm finding other options. I made my own pattern that I'm pretty happy with. I also made some double layer flannel ovals that I fold and tuck in my labia to catch some of the blood before it drips out, as I don't like that feeling. (I call them padpons) <br />I rinse in cold water, give a quick hand washing, and put them in a baby wipes container with some vinegar (change water daily), until I do a load of laundry. They wash up really well. I don't find it too gross...it's only blood and a natural bodily function. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036253476200281195.post-35853487922708324812013-01-30T20:02:00.815-08:002013-01-30T20:02:00.815-08:00I think this is a great idea I actually use cloth ...I think this is a great idea I actually use cloth pads and they are much more comfortable every girl should try itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036253476200281195.post-938262871390014622012-10-11T00:00:04.224-07:002012-10-11T00:00:04.224-07:00Actually, considering all the chemicals that are i...Actually, considering all the chemicals that are in tampons and pads from the store, nevermind the landfills and the time pads sit in them, I would use these pads. I do not see a problem with washing them, or reusing them. Many of the better quality reusable pads are made of high quality fabrics so they work the same way the store bought ones do. They are designed to "wick away" any fluid from the skin. Usually, there is also a waterproof layer which keeps any fluidfrom soaking completely through.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036253476200281195.post-52637111343339454252009-08-29T16:59:11.202-07:002009-08-29T16:59:11.202-07:00Boy, am I glad I had a hysterectomy!

There is something I would need to work through, about having to revisit my "blood, sweat, and tears" a second time after already having an encounter over the toilet. Even so, I'm only a pad person directly postpartum, so I guess I would need to get on this train mighty fast in order to really try it out. <br /><br />Reusable tampons...don't. think. so. Cute, but not cute in the sort of way that would mesh with my feminine area. ;)Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12551389639409319521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9036253476200281195.post-73552475968640148312009-08-14T18:40:58.531-07:002009-08-14T18:40:58.531-07:00Oh dear!
