What I have learned so far about cloth pads


I found out some things while using cloth pads. I prefer between 7-10 inches long and between 1 ¾ - 2 ¼ inches wide. I prefer pads with a floppy pliable core so that it conforms to my body better. Personally I like flared pads with a wider flare in the back but longer in the front (as I am a front bleeder and hate butt wedgies).


For topper material I like micro-fleece, minky, velvet, cotton and knit so far. Most people go on and on about how they LOVE organic bamboo velour (OBV) for me it is not one of my favorite toppers also not a fan of Sherpa. The core materials I like zorb and flannel but really those are all I have tried out.


Water proof/resistant in not necessary for me but there are several to choose from. Nylon is quite a noisy fabric and would rather have it in a wet bag. PUL or Polyurethane laminate is nice thin and breathable not near as loud as nylon but you would be able to tell if your pad has it or not also you could leave the pul as the backing or cover with any other fabric. Fleece is another choice but you have to be careful as not all fleece are water resistant you will have to test for repellance or saturation AFTER it is washed.


This is a photo of my stash. cups, pads, inter labial pads, cup spot/wipes and wet bags. minus the pads that are in the mail.
