Mom, how about you!? Kick your disposable
habit!! Today's natural and responsible choice for feminine protection is washable, reusable cloth menstrual pads. An environmentally-safe, economical alternative!
Belt-less, snap-fastened, long and thick enough for excellent menstrual, post-partum or incontinence protection. Two soft and comfortable layers of either 100% cotton printed flannelette or 100% cotton fleece.
In between is one absorbent layer of 100% cotton terry cloth. With a special fold and snap, this 3" by 9" (washed size) pad protects you with a total of six layers of fleece or flannel, plus three more layers of terry! Yet it quickly opens again for thorough cleaning and quick drying. These pads are all most women need for their menstrual cycle. A 12 pack is a great way to start!
Need more protection due to heavy periods or moderate incontinence? Our PostPartum pads are 3" by 13" (washed size). We also have flannelette menstrual doublers (washed size - 3.5" x 9"), breathable poly-fleece liners or waterproof nylon liners, topped with a non-slip poly-mesh layer. Just slip between your pad and your panties - for complete protection!
Save our trees... and enjoy safe, chemical-free protection, with incredibly s-o-f-t comfort. Gentle on healing stitches after birth. You'll never go back to paper and pulp again! Canadian WAHM-designed - exclusive to Born to Love!

Cut out three layers of an absorbent 100% cotton fabric (i.e. flannelette, terrycloth, cotton fleece, hemp, sherpa, etc.) into an 8.5" by 10" (21.5cm x 25cm) rectangle.
Round corners. Pile together.
|
Cut out two wings 6" by 6" (15cm x 15cm), shaped sort of like this: =O= . (see picture on the right)
Fold each wing in half, and zigzag or serge stitch all raw edges.
Center wings on the pad, about 2.25" (5.5cm) from either long edge, with straight edge of wings facing straight edge of the pad.
|
Looks something like this [_[)(]_], though the wings will be overlapping. (see picture on the left)
Sew a straight seam, catching in the wings, 2.5" (6.5cm) from both long edges.
Either sew Velcro® on wings or use hammer-on snaps.
Fold the pad in thirds, and fasten the wings underneath the fold.
Now you have a super-absorbent 9-layer menstrual pad that opens up for easy washing and quick drying!
After use, simply rinse out your pad and store in a zippered mesh laundry bag till wash day. Then just toss the whole thing in the washing machine!
