So I cloth diaper during the daytime and I've started using
mama cloth (well I started a last year). I've been using mama cloth made by
Mama Bee Creation and myself with a minky top and in an all-in-two design.
(minky top cotton or bamboo and fleece core snap in liner and a PUL wrapped in
printed cotton that snaps around you undies) I love them and I haven't had a
rash since switching (I did with disposables). Some mom's fear switching to
cloth pads because they think they will be more noticeable or bunch up and move
around. I can tell you when they are designed right they don't do any of that.
I love them and I wash them with my baby's diapers and they get clean. Some
people think it's unsanitary but period blood is more sterile than poop! If a
liner is designed too small (like my first homemade one) they might move out of
the way on a heavy flow day. If they are designed too wide (my second attempt)
they might feel uncomfortable and turn on you. However when they are designed
right (name brands and my latest attempt) they are actually more comfortable
than disposable pads and are sometimes slimmer but they are no more noticeable
than disposables. Some people use newborn socks (one stuffed in another and a
ribbon sewn in for pulling out) as reusable tampons. I have not tried this
method but my roommate has and she hasn't had any issues except she gets
nervous and changes often because she's heard of people getting too comfortable
and getting sick. She hasn't gotten sick herself but she's and herbalist so she's
always cautious. Anyways I love cloth pads they are healthy, green, clean and
comfy unlike disposables. Mama Bee Creations mama cloths are cost effective, (I
can't speak for any other brand as I haven't tried them I will make a post for
them when I get the chance to try them).
