Cloth Pads from Mama Patch (link below)

Mummies, women and girls can wear cloth pads as an alternative to sanitary napkins and panty liners. The advantages of using cloth pads can be similar to using cloth diapers:

1. It’s comfortable!: The feel of cloth on the skin compared to plastic-ky disposable pads
2. It’s suitable for sensitive skin: If you are prone to infections, itchiness, rashes –it can be a solution because it has no chemicals in it!
3. Less odors: The bad smell/odors from disposable pads actually come from the reaction of chemicals with your bodily fluids.
4. Saves costs: Because it’s reusable and will last you years, you can buy a few and use it many times (no need to spend on pads/panty liners each month - can spend on baby’s Cloth Diapers instead )
5. Less environmental waste: Nothing is thrown away, which means less waste in our landfills!
6. They’re cute too!!: Too many pretty and funky patterns to choose from (can’t have that with disposable pads right ?)

I guess some will be scared of the prospect of using cloth pads because of the washing it requires. We might feel grossed out, but actually it IS stuff from our bodies anyway, what’s the big deal? Looking around at the information, it isn’t really so difficult to manage – just rinse and hand wash/throw in washing machine!

Personally for me, I haven’t tried out cloth pads meant for that time of the month (periods). However, I do use disposable panty liners on a daily basis, so I really wanted to give cloth panty liners a try before I start experimenting with cloth pads. Besides, it’s cheap enough to trial out before fully switching to cloth perhaps.
