How to make your own tampons: This is a video exploring different reusable tampon designs using flannel, cotton string, and some that include zorb (an absorbent cloth used in making cloth diapers). I also make my favorite style of rolled tampon on camera with clear, easy directions. Even a beginner at sewing can make these!
After developing an allergy to conventional products, I found out about reusable pads. However, I had a hard time finding much information about making cloth tampons, so I did some research and experimentation, and this is what I came up with.
I didn't say this in the video, but the cotton flannel should be washed and dried on hot before you sew to shrink it, and I wash and dry them again before use. After use I rinse them in the sink (either immediately or they go in a waterproof bag and I do it at the end of the day) with cool water, and then when I'm done with my period I soak them all in Oxyclean overnight and then wash them in the washer with All Free and Clear and dry them on hot. I wash and dry them in a mesh laundry bag so I don't lose any.
