Yes! Also, something some people don’t know is that you can be accustomed to using a cup for years and then your body reject them. I actually JUST experienced this and it ended up giving me an infection because the cup was giving me so much issue that it kept forcing itself out but with that said, I do have a low cervix, a vaginal wall condition that my walls are too weak and can’t carry a child so I imagine that may be part of why the cup suddenly wouldn’t stay in (hence why I can’t have a baby biologically) and I have noticed my body is very sensitive to things (I was never able to use tampons because my body rejected them and I prolapsed twice at 18 years old) but I also have endometriosis as well. I am new to cloth pads and just started by ordering quite a few of them a few days ago because of the cup not working for me anymore. It honestly could be just me hitting my 30’s and my body changing so I’m hoping cloth pads work for me. I bought menstrual underwear to wear with them so I don’t leak :)

True, i love all the benefits of menstrual cup but after 6 months of trying. It just wasn’t for me, it didnt leak but i found it uncomfortable sometimes. Sometimes it works great sometimes it doesnt. I just decided to give up and use pads. I have a super high cervix but either the cup is too short or too big till it’s uncomfortable.

PCOS and Endometriosis sufferer, and I can attest to this about insertable cups and tampons. Both cause me more pain. I have to do pads, and disposable pads are super wasteful! So, I spent this weekend sewing myself up some reeuseable pads.

Im glad they work for me only because tampons were giving me rashes even the organic ones but like you said they dont work for everyone im still confused on how to wear the reusable pads

True I only managed one year because I have PCOS

Can you share the name of any brand?

Wow that’s really cool!

It is interesting when you look up things like that! I learned that when I started researching how to make my own soap. It is fun to learn and do. Thanks for sharing!

Castile soap is made from olive oil. So many different oils and butters are used now.

@@JJamiah I wasn't aware that its called castil soap if its made from olive oil since in Greece we just call it the green soap.

Lard made soap is superior even

Yes! It’s saved me so much over the years!

Hi! Do you mean hydrogen peroxide? Do you use it to disinfect it does it have another reason Also does it not damage the pads? x

wait but like I have a question.. for example if im in school and need to change my reusable pad do I HAVE to wash the used one first?? because if I just put the used one away, I feel like the blood would harden and be tough to wash out. What do you do when changing the pad out of home?

@@xx_yungbeener_xx personally I store it in whats called a wet bag for a day. It'll keep the blood from getting out/ getting onto anything it shouldn't, and delays it from drying and hardening. You don't have to rinse them immediately by doing this. If it does harden, you can wash them with hydrogen peroxide, soak them in water with dilute (I'm talking 1tbsp per gallon of water) ammonia, or take other measures like that to get the dried blood out.

@headshot_hermionegranger7401 ahhh okayy thanks 🫶🫶 but it sounds so messy and too much hardwork 😭

She just said they were breathable. You viewers are so annoying.

@@hersupreme3348 I watched it twice before commenting to make sure I heard her right

They are so nice for heavier days! I feel way more secure In the reusable pads. For disposables I go through 2/ day on heavier days and for the reusable pads I can go the whole day. The mink pads sound like they would be very comfortable but I would imagine they would be a bit hard to clean. I would read the reviews if they have any.

@@webworldgirl4341 Thank you so much for replying back! 💗🙏🌺

Thank you for the suggestion! So far I’ve only tried that one brand, I was new at the time and a friend I knew liked the brand so I got them.

Which person you recommend to buy in etsy?

I bought some off of Etsy but In my experience they weren’t as nice, I got a couple different styles to try them out but for the price it wasn’t really worth the money, the only ones I’d recommend are the thong panty liners, they can come in handy.

@@webworldgirl4341 p

Yeah it was like that for me as well, it took me a while until i got the hang of it but i still dont like them as much as pads.

same here. getting it out was difficult not painful. but now i got the hang of it. so i use the cup

Menstrual cups don't work for everyone. If you have endometriosis, fibroids, a tilted uterus, uterine or bladder prolapse, scarring from birth (for people who get stitches), etc. these types of things can make cups uncomfortable or painful. If used wrong or with bad posture, cups can also contribute to prolapse of the uterus. Some people love cups and swear they saved their menstrual lives, but they aren't for everyone. It just takes some research and thinking about your health situation.

Let me know which seller you buy from, I’m so lost on which to buy there are so many to choose from!

@@webworldgirl4341 so far i received 2 from etsy, one from kdaughters ( kdaughters.etsy.com ) and RAcraftscreations. I like that they're American made and the customer service it great too. I got the tiedye Kdaughters and its super comfy (Its made thick and its 9 inches, not huge so it doesn't make me feel like I'm wearing a diaper lol) I would not recommend wearing it as a heavy overnight pad, but a good daytime pad, and I got the panty liner size from RAcrafts and its also super comfy. Obviously its a pantyliner but I'm sure it can hold a lot if you bought it as normal size! Hope this helps!

Its totally not just you in that department. I generally have absolutely no warning ahead of time my period is there until its there. Has been that way for over 15 years now. To make matters worse I can go from my average 35 days to over 70+ days between mine. I've never been consistent. I do wonder if you are on to something there though? I generally don't feel a ton of pain until after I try on pads. (I'm looking to go reusable) I wonder if its related?

@@warband3315 I feel like it is related to something but I can't exactly put my finger on it, the only thing I came up with so far is chemicals that maybe in the pad or the texture???🤔

@@zyrob6074 yes! It’s all the chemicals they put in the pads and the chemicals even make your blood smell worse

I feel like alot of that feeling is psychological too.! The moment i go to the bathroom and notice that ive started my period, less than 10 minutes later along with wearing a pad, i begin to feel my cramps and feel so sick. So i think a huge part is psychological, and also the pads chemicals too with smell.

@@amirahxo-6418 agreed

That’s where the wet bag comes in handy. You can fold it up and put it in the wet bag, zip it up, and you’re good til you return home.

Nope they don’t leak even on my heaviest days! :) I have only needed to change my pad once a day

@@webworldgirl4341 woah that’s good! And also that was a quick reply! :)

@@webworldgirl4341 what brand are they and where did you get them from?

I got them off amazon, there is a link in the video description. The brand is wegreeco :)

@@webworldgirl4341 I heard it v can use pads for 4 hrs so what abt that

Sometimes but for the most part they stay put because the fleece fabric that touches your skin helps it not move around much

Personally I’ve never run into this problem, you can keep it in for up to 12 hours before changing it so you could change it in the morning or night. if I know I won’t be able to change it I will use a pad :)

You can bring a bottle of water into the stall with you or some hygiene wipes. Then do a thorough cleaning once you get home.

Great idea!

Yes! There are no chemicals like traditional disposable pads.

Yes! I have never had a leak even on my heaviest days 👍🏽

No, once the pad dries they don’t smell. I usually will turn my wetbag inside out and wash it with my pads in the laundry.

@@webworldgirl4341 ohh!! Thank you so much

So. SMELLY. SMELLY. TOO. ALOT SNIFFY SNIFFY. STINKY. SNIFFY

@@timothystar9982 bro you good?

You might have to reposition the pad a little further up in the front or get the longer size off Amazon. I ordered the medium size for myself but I know some people prefer a longer pad for more protection. Did this help? I just position mine in the middle of my underwear and it stays in place all day and I don’t usually have issues with it. You can try using the other snap on the pad to make it fit tighter on your underwear

@@webworldgirl4341 i'll try this. hope it will help.

They're called liners

I bought the medium and it’s the length of a normal day pad

@@webworldgirl4341 thanks

I always wash mine out with water and the dr. Bronners soap until the water runs clear and then I put them in the wash

@@webworldgirl4341 no when v r using does it leaks

Nope I’ve never had a leak :)

@@webworldgirl4341 how long v can use this I mean months

@@amrutha.pkumaramrutha7650 you can use them up to five to ten years if cared for properly or until they fray and start to fall apart and use them 12 hours at a single time max

It depends on how heavy your flow is, they can hold more and last longer than a disposable pad. I’ve been able to go 8hours without needing a change on my heaviest days

Recently I have been using seventh generation free and clear detergent but I used to use any kind that I could find that didn’t have dyes or scents added to it

@@webworldgirl4341 Thank you!

Dont normal pads leak?

When cared for properly they will last years (around 5 years), in the video I explain how to wash and care for the pads :)

@@webworldgirl4341 is it good to use for 5 years

Many, they are reusable. They will last for many years when cared for properly

They don't sell it in our country I'm doing it my own

That’s great! I know on Etsy there are a lot of people from different countries making them, you should check it out!
