There are 2 elements I think I should attend to: 1) Why towel? 2) Ew. The ick element. (Washing.).
After that I’ll write up testimonials of the brand names I tried – kindly include your very own testimonials in the comments!
Why towel?
1. Cash. Much the same as cloth diapers, I started checking into reusable menstruation products to spare cash. Similar to baby diapers, the preliminary financial investment for cloth menstrual pads can be demanding (again, relying on the type and material you choose, there is a vast array of price). But, over time, they are cheaper compared to the disposables. (There are likewise designs offered online to make your own if you stitch!).
2. Mess. I might well be the only person for whom this was an element! I had an absurd cache of non reusable pads. At one point, they replaced an under-the-bed coat box (I think in the neighborhood of 30 quarts). I am not even sure exactly how I ended up along with such a collection. Traveling? Moving many times? I have no idea, yet I figured a financial investment in towel would certainly mean constantly having a “plan” of pads around and finishing my hoarding of them!
3. Comfort. There is much less abrasion with a cloth pad compared to a non reusable. They are additionally softer. And, without the sticky plastic backing, they allow air to distribute much better.
4. Health. Non reusable feminine items are bleached and they contain chemicals to make them so absorbing. I have likewise listened to that circulation can be lighter, aches decreased, and period of periods minimized along with towel pads vs. disposables. I cannot personally mention this, and I have not been able to locate everything that explains why this would be the case (though it makes good sense vs. tampons).
5. Treating. I’m unsure “pampering” is precisely the right word right here, however I know that lots of ladies have actually felt pampered by their fabric pads. They are available in enjoyable designs, as well! You can provide them an individual contact (and I’m not trying for a double entendre right here …).
6. Earth-friendliness. Both in the production process (use of natural resources, chemical pollution) and in the disposal of pads that are not bio-degradable, recyclable fabric pads are much better for the earth.
7. Hygiene, a moot point at worst \*. After reading up a little bit on online forums and blog sites, and having cloth diapered for a couple of years at that point, I determined that multiple-use pads seemed at least as tidy as disposables. The huge eye-opener was that non reusable menstruation products are not sterilized. I suspect I hadn’t thought of it this way prior to. And I invest the various other 23 (around) from every 28 simply using underwear cleaned in my typical detergent … so exactly what exactly was various regarding those 5-7 days that all of a sudden my laundry detergent wasn’t clean enough? And the blood … meh. I suspect, after childbirth and being a mother (read the 3 P’s: poop, pee, puke) and … \* ahem \* … breastfeeding infants with colds (is it strange that this is just one of the much more gag-inducing things about being a mother for me? Snot-encrusted boobs?), my own blood – even, or maybe also especially, menstrual blood that isn’t really from an injury – does not really look like a big deal.
