Menstrual and postpartum pads

If you have made the leap from disposable to cloth diapers you may be thinking of making the switch when it comes to pads as well. There are many options you can buy, or you can make your own. I personally use a combo of cups and cloth pads. Here are some tutorials to make your own.

Larger pads, great for overnight or postpartum.

Smaller ones, great for daytime use.

Of course these are the shapes I personally like, witht eh body contouring hour glass, but there are lots of options for styles.

All of these options you can add a pul layer for leak protection and a variety of absorbancy options.
