Sorry 😞

Like anything, it takes time and patience and practice to learn. But I personally think it’s relaxing and a form of self care to make pretty pad that will bring me joy later. All the best to you!

Pads can be as bulky or as slim as you want them to be! My combination of fabrics works for me and my allergies, but you can try things like Zorb if you want thinner pads!

@@OnTheRagYT ❤️

You’re so sweet! Thank you!

that would work fine for a liner! i have a few like that and they’re super comfortable.

@@OnTheRagYT thank you!

i love that you’re inspired! you’re going to have so much fun. i find sewing so relaxing and fulfilling. thank you so much for the comment! reach out on instagram with your finished pads if you want to share! i’d love to see. 🖤

thank you so much! the complement means the world. (also, your english is wonderful!)

sometimes i’ll add them to a mesh bag. but usually i don’t. i just wash them on hot with my kitchen towels the first wash, then add it into whatever washes i have after that until it’s been washed about 4 times.

I tried that and the fabric came out in a knot. 😳 Maybe I will do one piece at a time next round of fabric. Thank you.

they do get quite knotted up! but they fray the worst the first wash. i cut them apart and toss them in the dryer

absolutely! sheets are usually mostly cotton and are fairly thin, so they’d be a perfect substitute for muslin.

thank you so much for your question! i have some follow up questions to help you troubleshoot your issue. you’re more than welcome to reach out on instagram or an email (both linked in the description) if you’d like to answer these privately! what are you soaking your pads in? are you applying stain treaters to any stains? what kind of detergent are you using? are you washing multiple pads at one time? do you wash your pads with any other laundry? do you experience these hard spots on certain pads (like flannel or minky) or does it seem to appear on random pads? i look forward to hearing from you and helping you!

@@OnTheRagYT Appreciate your response. Soaking pads in oxi cleaner recommended by various others, the ecover stain remover, detergent is basic, yes i wash mutiple pads at once, yes with other laundry, all pads are bamboo charcoal it says...

i also use an oxi soak with my pads! i find that if i use too much, a film can form on the pads and i have to do a second rinse. in my experience, i would say that your issue might come from your stain treatment. sometimes they don’t wash out, especially if a lot of product is used. i would personally wash the affected (unsoiled) pads in warm to hot water if that’s available, once with no detergent and maybe a little vinegar. air dry them and wash a second time with half the recommended dose of detergent and something heavy, like a couple of towels or a throw blanket. in the future, i would suggest that you try washing your pads and checking them for stains before applying any stain treatment. the oxi might take care of your stains and an additional treatment might not be needed! if you continue to have a build up on your pads, reach back out and i’ll do some research and see what might help! thanks so much for reaching out. 🖤🖤🖤

you’re so kind! my goal is to demystify cloth pads for people. no question is too redundant!

this is a really great question! you can actually hear PUL in a pad if you rub the back of it. it sounds kind of scratchy. if you can’t hear it, you can feel that it’s different than the other side. the outer fabric slips against the PUL whereas it doesn’t slip when it’s just against the core. i hope this helps!

@@OnTheRagYT Thanks

you’re welcome! if you need some more clarification, i can make a short video for you. just let me know! have a wonderful day. 🖤

@@OnTheRagYT could u please give the measurements for the pad size aswell, that would be of great help. Also can I use bamboo spandex as the absorbent layer?

@@OnTheRagYT A very detailed video .. would definitely try making this one. By the way does this work on heavy flow day?

i love seeing your comments! cloth pads are absolutely wonderful and it’s amazing to see how well they can hold up! thank you so much for reaching out. 🖤

people have done this before and they’re brilliant! very convenient for going out because you just need to carry a few inserts. give it a try and let me know how it goes!

i love to hear this! sounds like you have some wonderful pads. i’m excited to hear how the zorb diamonds works for you. keep me updated!

i’m so glad it was helpful! you can certainly use cotton for something that’s just a liner. it won’t be water resistant, but you could always bulk it up a little if it needs to absorb a little more. i have some that are flat cotton front and back with three layers of flannel inside that are more than absorbent for a small leak. please reach back out if you need anything! 🖤

@@OnTheRagYT I'll be trying that out soon, thank you!

you’re so kind! i don’t sell pads, i just make them for myself and friends who need them. i can’t tell you how much this comment touched me, though!

I watched one of your other videos as well and really wanted to purchase from you. Please let us know if you decide to sell

this flatters me so much, thank you! unfortunately, i live in the united states where there are enormous fees associated with selling cloth pads and i cannot afford nor will i recover the $2,000 it costs each year to be registered with the fda. 😞 if this changes in the future, i’ll make sure to update everyone. until then, try etsy! thank you so much you don’t know how much this makes me happy.

thank you so much!

thank you for watching!

thank you! there’s something so relaxing about it!

12 inches!

yes! they’re perfectly safe to line dry outside! just be mindful of how frequently theyre in direct sunlight as that could potentially wear the fabric down after years of doing so.

i can’t thank you enough for your kind comment! thank you for watching, i really appreciate it. have a wonderful day!

thank you for watching! let me know if you try it!

absolutely! there’s always pros and cons to different fabrics. but considering you’d be folding it over twice or even three times, you would have at least six layers of absorbency. it’s more than worth giving a shot! these pads are so easy to customize before and after they’re sewn. cloth diapers are an amazing option because they’re thin to begin with!

you’re so welcome! i hope i covered everything you’d need to know. let me know if you need anything else!

do whichever you think will work best for you! it doesn’t matter which order.

thank you so much!

yeah! muslin is my favorite way to float a core right now. it doesn’t cause any bulk in the wings and i tend to make my pads with it currently. the diaper prefold holds up well. my only issue is that it can stain pretty bad. so i would make sure you have a layer on top of it that doesn’t stain as easily, like flannel.

i’ve heard some wonderful reviews for her! if i’m in the market for some new pads, i’d love to check her out one day!

i’m not too fussed about blood so if i accidentally touch it, it doesn’t bother me. but if it’s something that would bother you, an H shaped pad is pretty easy to just shake out of your underwear without having to touch it! if the ends aren’t soiled, you could fold them down and use the ends to remove your pad as well.

i have them in a tiny journal i’ve organized by length. it was tedious to do at first, cause i had a lot, but now i just add them as i go!

i make most of them. but in this video, i have the following brands:

vasha’s custom creations m.facebook.com/groups/249108429058794?group_view_referrer=profile_browser

yurtcraft www.etsy.com/shop/yurtcraft?ref=simple-shop-header-name&listing_id=818817447

and fig leaves pads www.etsy.com/shop/FigLeavesPads

it really depends on the size of the pad. i can finish a pad less than 10 inches in about two hours.

Thank you. I was given a sewing machine that I've had to trouble shoot so much that I'm tempted to just sew by hand because I really want to make these and not be constantly frustrated with an older machine that has been well loved.

we just got my wife a new sewing machine last weekend! the lady we got it from didnt know how to sew so it needed a LOT of troubleshooting. i finally figured it out but sewing machines scare me. i have to work up the courage to use it. 😂

thank you so much! you’re so kind. 🖤

thank you for your question! might i suggest a fleece instead? using any sort of shower curtain or baby crib liner would result in a worse pad than if you’d made it with fleece. things such as shower curtains aren’t meant to be washed once a month and are full of chemicals you don’t want near your intimate parts. a fleece will work just fine! if you have a thrift store near you, i’d suggest upcycling fleece jackets. (north face is always a great bet!) please let me know if you need any further help

On The Rag thank you! I’m planning on making a decent collection of reusable pads for postpartum...I used SOO many disposable pads last time.

i hope you enjoy them as much as i enjoy my pads! it’s super easy to thrift or repurpose materials, if you want to. let me know how you go!

i’d be more than happy to help. in the mean time, does this video help you: ua-cam.com/video/CnZyGyF76Bo/v-deo.html i think this might be similar to what you’re looking for.

@@OnTheRagYT yes ma'am it is. If possible I would still love to have a video from you as well. Would I do your faux serve stitch all around with your zig zag. To attach the pul?

i’d love to make a video for you! i have a video for how to add hidden PUL, if that helps.

@@OnTheRagYT thank you

hey! just letting you know i’m finishing up the video for this pad you asked for. keep your eyes peeled and be sure to let me know if i covered everything!

i’m so glad my videos are helpful for you. please reach out if you need anything or have any questions!

i haven’t had the chance to try novel red yet, but i hear great reviews!

@@OnTheRagYT yup! I noticed the stitching, she does the wavy around and straight down the center. :) So you've got yourself a cute novel red liner in your stash! I have one liner and 3 pads from her and they are nice, her turn around time is lengthy though.

i completely misread your comment, i’m so sorry! i’ve been trying to figure out who made that. thank you so much for telling me. i’m so excited!

thank you so much!

thanks so much for your question! you can certainly omit the wings if your core is hidden. but a note: i don’t personally suggest cutting it to the same size as the core. i would suggest cutting it as the same size as your topper, just minus the wings. that will offer you the most protection. if you need a visual, check out my newest video about the H shape pad; there, i have a layer of pul just under one side. hope this helped!

On The Rag thank you so much, it helped a lot!

you’re more than welcome! i’m so glad i can be of assistance. don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any more questions. 🖤
