Cloth Menstrual Pad Sewing Tutorial | Sew your own budget friendly period products!

In this video I go over the basics of sewing a reusable cloth pad using a basic sewing machine. If you have questions or there are details that I wasnt clear on, please feel free to ask and I'll do my best to elaborate. I've sewn so many of these that some of the steps are so automatic I forget to mention the details!

I’m going to leave my pad making to you, but I think it’s so awesome that you made this tutorial! Everyone with periods deserves whatever products they need.

I am so glad that you have this! I love sewing and am broke so I didn't want to buy one of what I could make 10 of for the same price. The only thing I wasn't sure of was what materials I'd need. Thank you!

Can you explain the backing fabric again? I wanted to try making these for my daughter, but cannot make out what you said the backing was made from? Thanks so much! Love watching your videos.

[@softtacoreusables]

We use something called Softshell fleece. It’s typically used in rain coats because of how highly water resistant it is so it works great in pads. It’s not always the easiest to find though so some good alternatives are Blizzard Fleece, polar fleece, antipill fleece. PUL (polyurethane laminate) is another waterproof fabric that is often used and works well at waterproofing but is slippery so you may find the pad slides around more in your underwear if that’s what you choose to use.

I love your tiktoks

[@mayasecola5630]

Is the main perk of using serger machine so you don't have to deal with turning it inside out? Or do you still end up doing that step?

[@softtacoreusables]

Serging is a lot faster because it saves the turning step but it also leaves a thinner edge around the pad because it’s only 2 layers vs 4 at the seam when turned and topstitched

Do you also make incontinence pads?

[@christintaylor692]

Do you wash all your fabric before making pads?

[@melanipallewatta]
