Cloth Menstrual Pads
Cloth menstrual pads are another option for women who don't want to fill up the landfills with our monthly waste! Completely reusable and washable, this is a great option for women who can't use or don't want to use the menstrual cup. Cloth menstrual pads come in many shapes and sizes, and you can get VERY confused by the options out there.
Cloth menstrual pads can be made from numerous materials, including cotton, hemp, polyester fleece and velour. I personally prefer all cotton, but the reason there are so many different options available on the market is because there are MANY different women and preferences! A new material introduced into production of cloth menstrual pads is charcoal, which has entered the cloth diaper market as well. It is highly absorbent, and also helps neutralize odors.
Cloth menstrual pads are
- Recommended by doctors and midwives
- Not irritating (no plastics or perfumes)
- Great for women with allergies or sensitivities
- Comfortable!
Contrary to popular misconception, there is nothing gross about the fluid that comes from our own bodies during menstruation or post-delivery. It is a natural process that we should handle in a natural way.
