Hi Mila, happy to see you again.. and thank you for linking me in your blog... :) I am especially happy to see that you have sewn one! Keep up the semangat for sewing cloth pad and spreading the news.. Good for our health and environment.. :)
It also feels really good not having to depend on disposable pads.. :)
Hi Lynn, salam kenal and thanks for paying me a visit.. :)
I need to make many more cloth pads.. :) I think reusable menstrual products is a great idea and having actively spreading the news...
hi Anic,
i have about 20 pieces of CP now, but ahh..i think i need more :D
i handmade them all, so i guess being creative about the source is the key :) i didn't have the fancy snap buttons or PUL. so far, i survived with my stash..lol :)
did yours water-proofed? oh and thank you so much for the link on cari forum. appreciate it :)))
I sewn these cloth pads to encourage friends & relatives who are doubtfull of cloth pads, so I water proofed them, don't want them to have bad experience with leaking.
To save PUL material, I have made just a layer of PUL & flannel without wing for friend. It is then used in between of any non water proofed pad & undie, then a user just need to have a couple of these boosters. There is also a simple pocket design that users could just create inserts from material at home. Will post these pictures.
saya baru nk berjinak dgn dunia handmade especially CP n sanggup beli mini sewing machine kat TESCO....tp susah juga nk cari bamboo fleece n pul (waterproof fabric) ada idea x utk xchange ngan material lain..sy dh cuba dgn baby plastic tie-pant tp susah bebenor nk jahit...huhuhu.....tq sis
hi zilozz79, about replacement for bamboo fleece, you could use flannel or towel. for replacement for PUL, i have heard others who use velvet (which I think you can find from shop like kamdar). But there are online sellers for bamboo fleece & PUL and it is not difficult to buy them.
Check out some of the online sellers here: http://anic-lohas.blogspot.sg/2010/07/diy-cloth-pad-6-where-do-you-get.html
