    A great video... I use a closed sided garbage bin with an open top, works best for us. Cloth pads work so well I don't have to get up change my pad and still leak during the heaviest days of my period. Sleeping through the night has been a game changer.

    Personally I change a lot throughout the day and I love me some longer pads because it is so comfy! I mostly use 14" first day, 16" second day, then I go down to 12" and 10" on my last days. Nighttime I love 18" or 20" because that means I can flip and flop in my sleep without a worry in the world :) awesome video!

      I also change super frequently! I love knowing that I’m not “wasting” the pad when I change before it’s totally full because I’m just going to reuse it!

    My fav size is 12 and 14 inch I have a few 16 for nighttime. I don't necessarily need these lengths for my flow always but I prefer longer because they're comfortable make me feel securely covered and shorter ones can move on me . I have enough for a full cycle now so I can change 5 times a day 😊

      I sometimes reach for the longer ones too for the exact same reason! So much cozy comfort ☺️

    I use a few different types of cloth pads. 10 inch for lite days and 12 to 14 inches for heavy days. I also got my autistic daughter to use them by using some colorful prints and her favorite Disney characters .

    I store my cloth pads in an open bin with other period products in my bathroom closet. On my first order, I got a 12in for night and a couple panty wraps to wear with tampons. I just placed another order with some liners another 12in and I think a 10in. I ditto the advice of slowly building a collection!

    Another amazing video! 😁
    I use a basket with an open top. It works so well and has lots of room so perfect for a growing collection 😍😉
    I mostly use 8” pads, while on the smaller size of the cloth pad scale they suit my flow so well, I also have a handful of 10” pads so if one month it was on the heavier side I have options 😁
    I gradually built up my number of cloth pads through the space of a year, now I can verryyyyy comfortably get through a cycle or two without needing to wash which is great for me as someone who forgets 🙈🤣

      You’re too kind 😊. Sizing variety is handy to have!! I too am part of the forgetful club so a large collection has saved me a few times as well 😅. Thanks for sharing!

    Thanks for all your information. One question..can it be used for light incontinence. And how large are your panty liners. I am small and I am afraid that it could feel bulky.

    if you clot badly do you just have to put the clots down the toilet after taking it off?

    • @softtacoreusables
      @softtacoreusables  9 місяців тому +1

      For larger clots yes I recommend removing them into the toilet. Small clots will still wash away just fine

    How do you know is 100% dry?

    • @softtacoreusables
      @softtacoreusables  Рік тому

      It can be hard to tell for sure with some of the top fabrics having a stay dry feeling top. Squeeze the middle and see if you can feel any moisture. This is why I suggest storing in a place that allows airflow and not something sealed like a plastic tote with lid. That way if there is any moisture still left that you didn’t notice, it’s still able to dry.
