Heya!
Today I browse through a website and find out organic cotton menstrual pad. It's reusable and environment friendly.
But not sure how it is, plan to try it, can save $$$ and more healthy compare to disposable pad


Is anyone try it before and also where can get it from Malaysia? because the web I browse is US site.

hmm...i think it's a bit geli ler...coz every few hours we have to change a new pad...
we can't be carrying the used pads all day long and take home to wash, right?

somemore if reusable, what if we did not clean it properly? it will be a breeding ground for bacterias

I prefer disposable ones as they're rather hygienic in my opinion. Moreover, how much can you save?

Hi Kendy, Samantha & Grapekey,

When I first found out about cloth cotton pad, I have the same feelings as you guys about the hygiene thingy. Then I explore more on the internet and bought a set for myself. I tried it and then rest is history.

The pad that i bought can last for 5 years and it does saves the amount spent on pad for 5 years. I usually soak it with soap & soda bicarbonate and the stains are easily washed away and then I throw it into the washing machine together with my other clothes.

I used to wear 1 pad the whole day especially during my non-peak menses days and i read that this is not good as it breeds bacteria but to throw away a non-fully utilised pad is kinda wasteful at times. But now, I changed frequently as it keeps me fresh & clean & I am not throwing away money at each change. I would just fold the used cloth pad into a square and keep it in the wetbag which have 2 compartments. 1 for clean pad & the other for used pad. Thereafter, bring it home to soak. Not much hassle after all.

I encourage more people to make this daring step to use cloth pad as disposable pads contains lots of chemicals and are not made with good stuff.

If you have further questions to ask about my experience in using cloth pad, feel free to drop me a email at sweetprettystuff@gmail.com

I also do wholesale & retail of cloth pads and therefore feel free to contact me.

Cheers

I suppose reusable pads are viable if you're gonna be home and not going out...

There are quite a number of people making and selling these reusable pads in Malaysia.
I bookmarked two websites so far but haven't really look into buying them yet.

I use mooncup for menstruation, which is very convenient but will leak sometimes, so am looking to get reusable panty liners to use with it.
