I love your videos. I've noticed that you are the only one that talks about living in a warm climate. I live in a place that is very hot and humid. If you could please let me know what materials should I look for when living under these conditions? Thank you for your videos.
Thank you for this! I've been trying to figure out how to tell the difference between the fleeces except anti-pill. I hate anti-pill because it always leaks for me if I'm put any sort of weight on it, like sitting. Windpro is where it's at!
I hate microfleece. I made a mistake of ordering microfleece backed heavy pads and I bleed through the wings all the time after just a few minutes of wearing.
Windpro doesn't shrink so it's not necessary to wash it, but I do anyway. Micro fleece and anti-pill / polar / blizzard fleece should all be washed/dried on hot prior to use.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO! I take notes when I purchase pads, but I KNOW I still make mistakes in my videos identifying fleeces! This is really useful!
Hello Yaya! For my fleece scraps I usually will make cup spots or facial wipes with them as a backing material and OBV or a cotton fabric as the topper. I have A LOT of scraps and it drives me crazy, lol
I chose to focus on these specific fleece backer but there are definitely more options out there. I personally have never used Polar Fleece. Blizzard Fleece is very similar to Anti-Pill Fleece in my experience.
I have used polar fleece as backers to my cloth pads, and while it's not as nice, I find it still does the job ( for a light to moderate flow period). The texture is a bit more sturdy (it reminds me a bit of felt) in terms of the construction of the pad, so it doesn't make a floppy type pad, but a more stiffly structured pad. I find that it's a bit more difficult to sew as well, but I do all my sewing by hand, so this may not be a problem for a sewing machine. Hope this helps! I'm by no means a pro, I only make pads for myself and close family and friends so I don't have all the knowledge of fabrics and how the work, but polar fleece works for my purposes. If I can though, I go with antipill, it's a but more plush, which I like.

Hi how would Blizzard fleece perform? Is it a bad idea to use as a backing?.
Which of the fabrics is the most breathable?
Do you have websites for the windpro
Left field question: do you need to pre wash (prep) these materials before making cloth pads
