Handmade Pads

Honestly, 6 years ago, I wasn't keen on the idea.  Cloth menstrual pads.  Hmm...  It goes against all I knew.  Now, 5 years of cloth diapering later....

There's all sorts of information online about them.  All I can say is that they are really fun to make and way more beautiful than the landfill disposables.  I mean, is that really what we want to leave for the archaeologists of the future???

Cloth toilet paper is the bomb too!
