More people need to see your method! I see so many questions or concerns of putting their cloth pads in the wash because of the other people in the house with them. This method would be no different than washing a newly soiled pair of panties you leaked onto over the night. And only soaking them for 4 hours give minimal time for anyone to discover them, if you clean them at a proper time. Well done, thank you for the upload!

I bought some reusable pads. This is my second time using them. They are truly soft and so gentle. I have not had an accident with these. It seems as though there was always an issue with store bought pads and some leakage one way or another. So that is a huge difference. Bc I am at home I can manage much easier then if I were going to work. Cleaning them is also easy. Saved $ this month.

I personally recommend using hydrogen peroxide and cool/cold water to soak them as hot water can cause the fabric to stain further, then wash them with your delicates after Fair warning though, depending on how much blood is in the fabric, it can have quite a stench while washing with hydrogen peroxide. The smell doesn't stay after washing though as long as you rinse it thoroughly.

It's more convenient to buy but if you have the materials and the skill, you can do it yourself. 4. In my own experience, it will depend where you will buy yours. The first one I bought was a bit bulky and the outer material (the part with prints) is somehow stiff, the second set was softer and not that bulky at all.

That is such a brilliant idea about the wash tub! I'm raising 12 chicks and 2 turkey chicks inside the house until they feather out and can handle the weather outside under their lamp. Each morning I dump their water dish (with poop, food, bedding mixed inside the water) into the large laundry room sink. It just grosses me out to then fill that sink up and wash my pads in there. It's a pet peeve I guess because they are washed in the washing machine after, lol. Oh my word, I'm getting a wash tub. Not only that, but you had such a great way of explaining not to use warm water and why (oops) and which stain remover that works well! I'm cloth pad poor (don't have enough for my entire period yet) I really like menstrual cups, and use those and pads for the first heavy day, then just go onto using solely the cup as it tapers off into lighter days. Been using a cup for like almost 3 years, but yesterday it just refused to sit right and kept leaking, so I decided to purchase more cloth pads for next period, just in case. They're nice to have around anyways! I have a small wet bag for my purse to keep a clean pad inside, and if I'm out I can change out the one I'm wearing for the clean pad, without worrying about what on earth to wrap the used pad in. Yayness. LOL. You had some nice pads (if that's not weird to say) I personally like the Lohan store on etsy, her pads have been wonderful! I bought a few from a different store and they were so thick and uncomfortable I never wear them. Ever. So I have stuck with that store on etsy, in fact I'm heading there now :b

Cloth pad user for 6+ years and I’ve done it all. To maintain them I like to throw them into a bin after each use and not even bother washing them each day. Once my cycle is over I take the bin to the shower squirt some dawn soap on there and fill out with hot water then I use my hands to agitate and squeeze the pads and swish them around I empty it and do that one or two more times drain the water take the bin to the washer dump them in use regular detergent of your choice + oxy powdered detergent like the Ariel kind do a hot cycle with two rinses throw in the dryer and call it a day. I obviously disinfect and clean my tub out after (I like to use a spray bottle with 10-20% bleach rest water spray the tub let it sit for like 5 mins and then rinse the tub) washing every pad or everyday took too much time and the method I use I’ve never had a stain and I have the exact pads I started this journey with so that tells you a lot. If you have a pad that you think will stain what I do is use a zote bar rub it all over the pad real good before putting them in the wash as an added step. I use hot water and I’ve never had any stains? I’m also very hard on them I beat the crap out of them I’m never gentle and not one stitch came undone in 6+ years.

I'm very confused! All this time I think I've been wearing mine the wrong way! I hardly ever have stains because I use the black soft side next to my skin... ? I seems to work great. Once I got tired of rinsing after each one and tried just soaking them all in cold water after "moon time" was over instead, like you did in your video (i had not thought of using oxi clean) and then do my usual soaking them in vinegar with a few drops of tea tree oil before laundering. Soaking them all at once in the water overnight made them all stain solid red so I tried bleaching them... then they leaked like crazy as if I was wearing just toilet paper!! NEVER BLEACH... NOTE TO SELF! So I'm going to try wearing mine the other way around now and trying oxi-clean like you do... I'm a bit confused to wear them the opposite side because the pretty material side is not as soft. I only have two that are soft on that side... thanks for your video and for being brave enough to help others like me!! I was just bumbling around on my own until I braved searching for some help!!

Great video,I've seen it so many times. As a stain remover I use oxygen bleach from Lidl,very cheap and gets all the stains out. I use Chinese pads (I bought from Amazon and didn't check the seller and I kept them when I found out,they were already used) and recently I find that my pads smell like raw egg,I wash them by hand and when my period ends,I throw them in the washing machine. I use a Chante Clair eco detergent to clean them,maybe it's not cleaning them properly?? I switched to Soap de Marseille liquid detergent,hoping if would clean them better. I do want to emphasize that no blood is left on the fabric so they're not dirty after I finish washing them and I do wash myself several times a day, especially in the summer,to prevent sweat odor and such. So,what do you think? Is the detergent the problem? Or it's the fact they're Chinese and therefore not that high quality? I never had issues with blood soaking through or whatever,they're perfect.

thx for tips just a question how many pads are you using roughly i know its individual but just to give me an idea how many i have to sew for future. I absolutely love the idea of never buying a disposable. every woman, baby or elderly should go cloth. so much landfill crazy if you think about it.

@Alleah Fuentes. As others have mentioned above, you can always make your own! Find a print that you really like at the store, and choose your core material (for absorbency) and your backing material. Waterproof lining can be added in optional if you prefer the added security to make sure it doesn't leak through the back, but there are a lot of people who don't use a waterproof lining and they still work just fine as long as you have a good backing material. There are many videos on KZitem teaching how to make your own Pattern a how to sew it together (there are videos for both hand sewn and machine sewn, whatever you prefer).

@@sugarcandy654 its not ideal. Its better to put them into soak straight away, but if you're working and not at home a lot, live in shared accommodation or you don't have much room for a soak bowl then rolling and storing them in a washbag is far more convenient. Then you soak and wash then getting rid of any blood or bacteria all in one go at the end of your cycle.

Because cloth pads are designed to be worn a certain way so it would effectively be like wearing a disposable pad the wrong way up- it wouldn't absorb the blood. you can buy cloth pads which are black or very dark prints which some people like to minimise stains

You can always give them an extra rinse if there is still bloody water coming out of them after a soak. I personally don't worry about blood so if there is still bloody water coming out i still just stick them straight into the washing machine- they always come out lovely and clean :)
