Hi everyone,
I just wanted to say hi, as I am new to mylot, and introduce myself! I am Jackie, I make cloth menstrual pads and I also cloth diaper my daughter. Of course, my love for cloth pads came from the cloth diapering.
You've find that using cloth pads are similar to cloth diapers, except you only have to use and wash them once a month. My favorite things about cloth pads are that I am able to choose fabrics that match my personality. I started making them because I wanted to sew something for myself that could be fun and functional.
If you're interested in more and would like to check out my pads, please visit my website: http://www.punkyspads.com
Please feel free to ask me any questions as well!
-Jackie

Welcome to mylot. I really don't know what to say. No offense but I found this amusing. Are you really getting orders? I hope you do well with your business. It's really an original idea and something I would have never thought of. Best of luck to you. They are very pretty.

Thanks for the welcome!
I realize that cloth pads aren't for everyone :) Yep, I do really good with the pads. They actually aren't all that new, cloth pads are pretty popular :)
Thanks again!

I love cloth pads. I have been making my own for a while now and have a huge stockpile of them!!! There are so many cute prints of fabric that it gets addicting to make them. Maybe I should start selling them all!!

sorry so long to respond, it's great to see another cloth addict here :)
i've actually just started using cloth for myself (3 cycles ago) and they are quite nice. i make my own and like you got involved in the diapers first. i make cloth diapers for sale as well.
i love the shape of your pads and love that it's organic cotton, but i didn't realize you could get organic cotton in those cute prints. where do you order it from??
i also run a cloth co-op for making such things so people can get supplies at wholesale cost.
