To make up for this shortfall, I sew most of my outfits, and other stuff as well. Here, for instance, is a pattern for cloth menstrual pads that I made up myself. Take some old cotton or flannel material from an old shirt or bed sheet. Once the rags have been used, rinse them out, soak them in cold water, rinse again and dry. Also, cotton pads are better for your body.
Most commercial pads have a layer of plastic on the bottom which can cause yeast infections.
Also, the cotton pads last a looonnnggg time. I have 12 that I made about 5 years ago, and they are still in good shape. The tampon health website. There are many reasons to choose reusables and to forgo the single-use, chlorine bleached paper, pads and tampons while you are menstruating. If you are looking for fancy menstrual cloths, wrapped in an elegant silky package, blessed by waters from the Moon Goddess, you are looking at the wrong page.
