Reusable pads

So I'm just curious, does anyone use reusable/washable menstrual pads, either for actual periods or for just general cleanliness? What do you think of them? Advice for someone who is going to try them out?

Did not know there was such a thing any more. We only used washable diapers on our babies. Please post a resource link, if you can. They might have other applications as did the old Kotex. Shoe shine being my favorite.

My mom saved the old cloth diapers. They are also excellent for polishing silver, wood furniture, buffing the car, reconditioning leather, vinyl etc, washing windows, drying eye glasses and sun glasses etc etc etc. The list is endless! I don't know anything about the old Kotex you mention.

When I pledged the sorority the initiation had the neophytes blindfolded. Those old Kotex that were worn with a belt made for great blindfolds and that is what we used. My mom used old cloth diapers for cleaning furniture, but I don't remember for what else.

I never used them, but you can buy them here for exemple: http://www.blumenkinder.eu/shop/Monatshygiene/Stoffbinden-Stoffslipeinlagen:::14_53.html

I really like my meluna. I wouldn´t switch anymore 😃

Never used reusable pads but did use pads and belts when i was having periods. Anna

Yes, I use a menstrual cup with washable pads and liners for 'back up'. I'd really recommend them - comfortable, better for your health, less wasteful, economical, ecological and much lower (even nonexistent) risk of toxic shock. There's lots of places you can buy them - search online and on Facebook for groups for both advice and buy/sell/trade. I'd advise trying a variety before buying a 'stash' to find out what you prefer in terms of type, absorbency, length and material.

Good luck!

I bought some and have been using them for the last couple weeks. I like them, and they seem to work well. I need to get a few more, so that I'm not having to do laundry every couple of days though. Nice for those that wear pads for more than just menstrual flow.

I got mine off Amazon, but I know you can buy them off a lot of other sites including esty.
