Not my website! Just a cool thing I encountered. I no longer have periods, but when I did, my flow was incredibly heavy and I spent a lot of money on pads (and of course threw away hundreds of them). I know reusable pads aren't an option for everybody, but they're definitely a great way to reduce waste! Of course, another good option would be buying menstrual underwear etc, but as someone who sews I thought I'd share this for other people who sew <3

(Also you can do cute patterns!)

A few fun facts:

• Cotton cloth pads smell better because they allow moisture to evaporate (rather than it being trapped in by plastic)
• You can wash them by hand or just rinse them to throw in with the rest of your clothes
• Research estimates that people who menstruate use about 11,400 pads in their lifetime

Hope this is helpful for someone!
