Thank you for sharing! This is a great help/aid to many girls/teens especially in rural areas where sanitary towels are expensive and hard to come by. Will definitely work on it with school girls in near future project. Lots of blessings.
Thank you for sharing! I will make these in the near future. :)
You should use absorbing towelling for the lining. Terri towelling? They use it in waterproof sheets, I that's what they use in the commercially made pads
PUL is waterproof fabric . I bought mine at Hobby Lobby because Joann Fabric was out of stock. I got on a 40% off sale , I think was about $4.19 per yard on sale.
Thank you!!!
Loved it!! :D
Well...i think i know what project i'm doing next :P
😁 You should
Hi. Just wondering. You mentioned cotton and polyester batting like the kind you use for quilting? I thought one should use cotton flannel or hemp cotton. I like your pattern.
I was wondering what type of water proof cloth you would use for the backing? I have looked many places but not seeing what I think would work for this
I haven’t searched for this, but it might give you a direction. Someone recommended using a type of fleece for jackets that was waterproof on one side. That’s all I can remember, but I hope it gives you enough to do an internet search. I need to find this, too.
The backing material used in the video is PUL which is waterproof. Polyester fleece is also often used as a backer but that's a water resistent fabric and not waterproof. There is lots of online info on which materials are good to use for cloth pads, and there are facebook groups as well. Happy sewing!
I wondered of sewing materials of feminine pad pattern from girls?
Would you use more batting for heavy flor and bladder leaks?
Batting is not a good choice for absobency as it does not absorb a lot and breaks down over time. Flannel is a great all-round fabric to use and it's easy to find. The pads will be really cheap and environmentally friendly if you make them from a flannel bedsheet from a second hand shop. Zorb is a special super absorbent fabric that is used in pads and nappies/diapers. So depending how bad the bladder leaks are that might be the best choice. It's really hard to find where I live in the Netherlands. So I mostly use cotton fleece. As I like to thrift my materials I tend to go to a charity shop and look at hoodies and sweatshirts/sweatpants/jogging bottoms. Those are often 100% cotton and the thicker material means it's cotton fleece rather than t-shirt material. Sweatshirt material that is at least 80% cotton should work well.
For heavy flow and serious bladder leaks it is useful to have a waterproof backer. PUL (as used in the video) is the lightest and thinnest material I know for this. You might have to get creative in finding materials if you're not near a fabric shop. I happened to find a flannel waterproof pillow case in a shop. When I had a look at it I discovered it was PUL on the flannel and that makes a great backing fabric. PUL is generally slippery but not when it's put on flannel, so this stuff will stay in place much better.
When I started making cloth pads I found the free Luna Wolf pattern, there are multiple sizes and good description and pictures of how to make them: lunawolf.co.uk/wordpress/ Corky Lorenz also makes really clear videos that are worth checking out. Happy sewing!
Hi there. I have a question... Will this pattern style not leak??? Will this pattern style work for medium flow bleeders?????
You can extent the shape a bit for a heavier flow and maybe add extra layer of lining
Плохо что я не понимаю ваш язык, но за то я поняла как всё сшить. Спасибо!!!

How do I get the pattern
Hello, thanks for sharing this. My only concern is that the person has to carry around a used pad all day. Especially if you have an 8-hour workday. Most women have to change their pads. So what is the best way to handle that?
When you buy them you usually get a wet bag that you can put your used pads in and when you get home you rinse them. The wet bags are the same kind moms will use for their babies cloth diapers, so they are water/liquid proof and smell safe. I know it sounds a bit weird/cross, but I promise the wetbag is totally fine!
@@mentalalchemysubliminals Thanks for letting me know.
How are they atteched to the underpants?
@@jennifertaylor3277 they usually have snap buttons or velcro.

What is the length in inches? I like extra long.
I would think you can adjust the pattern as needed, I am going to use a pattern for overnight, heavy flow and regular, as my periods use to be so bad I would have to affix 3 overnight pads together for day use and 4 for night use, this would have saved so much money and probably many great clothes that it ruined,
How long will it last during the period? 2-3hours?
About a week if it’s only hours I don’t have to use like a million pad and how old are you
That would depend on how heavy the flow is. The batting used for the pad in the video is not a good option, it doesn't absorb much and de batting breaks down over time. Flannel would be a much better option. There is lots of info online on how many layers of different materials to use for low/medium/heavy absorption.
Do they snap around underwear?
Yes
Does any bedding work for this?
Can not be too thin, needs to be a bit fluffy so it's more absorbant. Try to stay away from polyester and go for a higher percentage of cotton
Batting is not a good option, it doesn't absorb a lot and breaks down over time. Flannel is a great option, als cotton fleece is great. Most sweatshirts/sweatpants/jogging bottoms are made from this material but you have to check the label.
There are a lot of videos for making pads. They are offering a program for making reusable padding for teens, so being unfamiliar initially with this title, I explored a bit online well everything turned out being feminine hygiene product. Not
pot holders cushions shoulder inserts etc.

Someone should made a lot of these for homeless woman.
It's a good thought but it wold not work since they need to be well cleaned and dried. It would only work if they had access to that
1st View 😍😍😍
😍
It's brilliant ✨🤍
it could be great for daily use.. But for period!! I think it's not healthy at all
Can you tell me why you think so?
@@CurlyMade Doctors warn against using cloth pieces during the menstrual cycle because germs remain stuck in the cloth even after washing and exposing the sun and lead to some diseases, some of which are dangerous
So I think it can be used as a good way to protect clothes from dirt when wearing Sanitary towels are also great as a daily pad ✨🤍
Do you think ironing the pad would kill the germs? I think that the hot temperature would kill them, ot at least most of them. What do you think?
Maybe, I don't know enough about it to confirm. I allways knew to wash them really well and put them in the washer. Maybe a special soap?
Commercial pads are the reasons for many gynaecological problems in women.
Many have reported a big relief on switching to reusable cloth pads.
