mother moon pads

This is my review of Mothermoon pads.
I have 2 heavy pads in the older style and 2 panty liners in the newer style.

The heavy’s are 11 inches by 2 ½ wide both are cotton topped and fleece backed not 100% sure of the cores as they were purchased from a destash. These were the first pads I owned that had the edges over locked (serged) which made them less noticeable through my pants. I will say that these worked beautifully as far as coverage and how much they could hold without leaking.

The panty liners are 9 ½ by 2 ½  and 8 by 2 ½ both were minky topped and fleece backed. I primarily use a menstrual cup and these are the perfect backup liners for me. They are slim but sturdy enough not to crawl into my crack (sorry for the visual!) I will say that I use the 9 ½ for overnight cup backup and the 8 inch for anything/everything like everyday wear or cup backup to tail end of my monthly.

The point is I really like the fit of this brand and really appreciate that when ordered directly from her store you got a mesh laundry bag with your order.

Interlabial pads

Okay so a lot of people in the groups I'm in ask quite frequently about interlabial pads which is what prompted this post. They are also a good scrap project.


An interlabial pad is normally just 2 layers of absorbent materials could be cotton, velor, flannel, etc; and is placed between the folds of your vaginal opening. There are multiple reasons for using these and here are a few which include directing flow to the center of a pad, as a menstrual cup back up, or even just using in place of a pantyliner.


I generally use 2 layers of flannel and notch the edges to help prevent fraying and place a stitch going long ways down the center although I have turned and topstitched but found them to be a little more uncomfortable than my other style.

I first tried to turn and topstitch but found them too bulky and they kind of rubbed me raw. I then tried the 2 layer center line only style and they are super comfortable they are generally 1 1/2 to 2 inches wide by 2 1/2 to 3 inches long and i have found that works for me.

Maxille Love

This is going to be my review of Maxille love pads. Sadly they have shut down shop.

I have a size 4 (I believe) which is a overnight/postpartum pad. Cotton top and a fleece back not sure what the core is (feels like zorb). The pad is 12 inches long by 3 inches wide.

This is a very comfortable pad except the corners kept curling in. The tag could have been in a better place so it didn't scratch the one wearing the pad.

Cooter cozies

This is going to be my review of Cooter cozies (This has to be one of the BEST names for a shop) she sells on facebook and is SUPER sweet!



My first 2 pads were done in a trade and kind of an impulse buy (had to have the hot hunky guys!) and I am very glad I did it! They are the perfect width and length as well as perfect placement. I love the shape as they do not bunch up or slip.


The pads both measure 7 ½ inches by 1 ⅞ inch wide they are both cotton topped I believe the cores are zorb and they both have a hidden layer of PUL one has cotton backing the other has flannel backing.


The 3rd pad I ordered from her is one I have wanted for a very VERY long time using the skittle farts fabric (If you knew me in person you would understand). I have seen all kinds of pads with the print but did not want to spend the money on unknown pad shape/design (again) I wanted a reliable brand. The only thing I did to my skittle farts is topstitched around it because I just personally like the look of top stitching. It is 7 1/2 inches by 1 7/8 inch wide.
