    A few years ago, I started buying cloth menstrual pads online and even learned to make my own. I don’t get my cycles anymore but needed to make a new batch of panty liners. Unfortunately I succumbed to using the commercial ones and they are horrible! So I thought a refresher course on pad making would be great. I am blown away by the information here and grateful I watched this. This was more informative than any other pad making videos I watched from my favorite ladies. Thank you very much!

    I have been making my own panty liners for quite some time, and there really wasn't much info online. After watching a number of ladies making them, I winced at some of their sewing techniques, which led me to watching your video. Finally someone knowledgeable about fabrics and threads. I found it very educational, and while some fabric/materials are not in my budget right now, I will know what to look for when they are. Thank you for making this info available.

    Your skill in sewing is awesome .. Thank You!! Do you make incontinence pads? Would love to see a video.. as I imagine you would use different core fabrics.. because of the difference of weight and increase of fluid?

  • @crissaducharme4104
    @crissaducharme4104 8 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Help, I have thoroughly confused myself-is this the order of building a pad?-Premium cotton for top, HOBF same size as top, Zorb for core (smaller size), Pul and then flannel for back layer?

  • @DrDIY1

    Very informative! Im confused about you not wanting to use synthetic fibers that release microplastics. But, you do use poly urethane which does the same?

Joyfully getting old!I hate wasting money on something that’s goes to landfill and those disposable pads were super drying to my lady parts! I have sewed most of my 65 years, so this was easy for me! I made my first pads 10 years ago! !! Lol! They are still going strong but plenty worn! Tks for inspiration! I’ll be making new ones!

    This video was super helpful - thank you! I'm just starting my cloth pad journey and I am concerned about fabrics treated with formaldehyde resins. I have an irritant contact dermatitis reaction to formaldehyde and formaldehyde resin finishes. Do you know if the fabrics you use or suggest contain these resins?

    • @ButterDragonCreative

      I haven't come across these chemicals for textile manufacturing, that could mean they aren't used in the fibers I buy, but no, I don't know confidently whether they get used :(

    You are so smart! You have taken the reusable pads to a whole new level with the crunchy pad. Congratulations! I sew pads for my family. I don’t sell any since then it would be work, hahaha. I use 2 layers of Zorb, and 4 layers flannel as my standard inside. And then a micro velour top made of 100% polyester or 100% bamboo. The backing is soft shell fleece or regular fleece. I love sewing them and each one is different. I wish you continued success with sales and your creative solutions. If you aren’t on tic toc, please consider doing a few so more people see your work.

    I also try to avoid synthetic fabrics as much as possible. But most of my fabric comes unlabeled Is there a way to check whether its synthetic fabric?

    • @ButterDragonCreative
      @ButterDragonCreative ปีที่แล้ว

      there's no reliable method for identifying the fiber content, except for laboratory analysis, which is WAY beyond what most of us will ever do. The next best thing is the lighter-test. www.swansonsfabrics.com/ has shown how to do this test on tiktok. Basically burn a thread of the fabric and see how it reacts. The crude simplification: organics burn, synthetics melt

    I was very interested to see what a male sewist had to say about a reusable feminine product. WOW! Five Star review from me. That was very informative! I have been making my own pads for over ten years. It was the best thing I ever did for my female health. THANK YOU for your research and guidance in the area of proper construction, and your sensitivity and great pride in the products you provide for your customer. 🥰🥰

  • @perplexed2031
    @perplexed2031 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very informative and helpful, thank you. I'm about to make a few light incontinence pads for my mum, but without any waterproof layers as they irritate her skin. I'm using flannel x3 for the core plus 2 cotton players of baby wrap for outer layer. Do you think this will work as light protection? Any advice would be appreciated. Mum cannot use any shop-bought pads as they all irritate her skin. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. Appreciated!!

    • @ButterDragonCreative
      @ButterDragonCreative ปีที่แล้ว

      For light incontinence, especially small cough/sneeze leaks, that should be good enough! A true 100% linen (or even cotton/linen blend) could be upcycled as well and be a good option to prevent rashes or other issues if she can't change it quickly enough. Upgrading to something like HOBF will help improve holding capacity for bigger leaks, and adding something like Zorb as a deeper core layer will also help it pull the leak to the core. You might look for a cotton-knit with the PUL backing to use as a waterproof layer so the synthetic part (the PUL) is on the inside and the cotton-knit is on the outside.

No other video that I have watched had information on the thread, the zorb drying issue or the various fabric properties. Bravo! I have subscribed.
