Cloth Pads - Made-to-Order
Don't buy any more pads to throw away. Cloth pads reduce waste and save money - not to mention they are MUCH more comfortable than any crinkly, sticky disposable. They are durable and last for many years when they are cared for properly.
My cloth pads are made to order. They are constructed of a cotton top, absorbent middle, and water-resistant/proof back. They feature wings with plastic KAM snaps for closure and are constructed using polyester thread to prevent wicking.
Choose your soft cotton top from the currently available fabrics. This cotton layer will go against your skin. (I also have a "Surprise me!" option - this is my choice of fabric from my stock, sure to be attractive but saving you a little bit of money. If you want even more options, consider joining my Cloth Pad Club for access to ALL THE FABRICS.)
Middle of regular pads contains absorbent materials, based upon desired absorbency:
- Light (best for light flow days/spotting) - one layer of cotton terry and 2 layers of cotton flannel.
- Moderate (best for average flow days) - one layer of highly absorbent Zorb and 2 layers of cotton flannel.
- Heavy (best for heavy flow days/overnight) - two layers of Zorb and 3 layers of cotton flannel.
Back - several options available:
- water-resistant fleece. The fleece goes against your underwear, and the texture of the fabric keeps the pad from sliding around. The water-resistant nature of fleece keeps most people from having leaking, especially if you've chosen the right absorbency for your flow. I find it works very well.
- water-proof PUL. PUL is trimmer than fleece and truly water-proof. My PUL is not extremely slippery, but these would be more prone to movement than a fleece-backed pad.
- BOTH! - I can hide some PUL behind fleece, giving you water-proofing, along with fleece's good grip. (Additional charge applies.)
- Premium WIndpro Fleece - Considered to be gold standard in the pad-making world! This fleece is even MORE water-resistant than the standard anti-pill fleece, but thinner. Almost everyone who has used a pad backed in Windpro claims it is their favorite material for this purpose.
Sizing:
Light pads measure ~8 inches long.
Moderate pads measure ~10 inches long.

Width is ~4 inches at top/bottom and ~2.5 inches when snapped shut; they are ~7 inches across with the wings open.

All pads come with care instructions - it's easier than you think to care for them and keep them in great shape for many years!
