Going green

Been awhile since I shopped for CDs and CPs. Not a big fan- err never a fan of pocket diapers. But I did get 2. Will blog about it once I get another 2.

I bought Grovia (used to be Grobaby) shells as I have plenty of soakers. I had quite a few sets of it when it was first launched.

I couldn't resist and bought 2 newborn Grovia AIO. That isn't very wise but I just had to see the cuteness of a tiny newborn diaper.

Decided I won't do prefolds and cover. Prefold doesn't seem to be easily available, and it is expensive IMO. Unless I google tutorials on converting lampin to prefolds? And I'm not keen on buying plenty of S sizes cover.

The name was weird I thought, but I loved the pantiliners. I was too lazy to choose, so I just ordered the classic line. It's owner, Qaty is off for awhile while she's in confinement. I am definitely gonna order more :p It was comparable to the US-made ones (mind is blank at the moment).

I love cloth pads! And below are just some reasons why I love it; taken from Randumosity
-They lessen your contribution to the landfill
-They are more breathable and carry less odor
-They inhibit fungal and bacterial growth
-They are less likely to cause rashes / dermatitis
-They reduce PMS symptoms
-They are easy to clean and care for
-Each pad lasts 5 to 7 years

I've been on CP for a year, the last time I wore uncomfortable dispos was probably after birth. I shall never go back that path! Seriously, just give cloth pads a try. You can feast your eyes on the rest of my CP in the posts tagged cloth pads. I'm not going to count how many I have, but you can never have too many :p

cloth pads as cute token

Cute little package from Dian :-) Handmade cloth pantiliners, you'll never have enough of those, especially cute ones. Thanks so much (I guess this was in exchange for the Mei Tai I've loaned to her). May cloth pads, cloth diapers and babywearing love will spread to all moms out there.

FAQ on cloth pad


1. How to wash cloth pad?
Rinse off stains with cold water. If you want, soak in a cold water with a bit of salt.
Chuck it in with the rest of your laundry (but DON'T use softener). I usually wash it with Arianna's cloth diaper (non-enzyme detergent, no softener)

2. How many hours can I wear it?
They say 4 hours for medium pad. For me: 8-12 hours using night/overnight pad.

3. Does it smells?
Nope. It doesn't emit the blood+disposable pads stench.

4. Does it leak?
Just like disposable pads, do not overload it. Change according to your flow.

lastly (because I do not like to impose on others my personal choices in life)
5. Why cloth pads?
You can google why disposable pads worse off. Personally, I hate the stinky waste, rashes, heavy flow associated with it. And cloth feels more comfortable on your skin.

Check out my previous entry here and here.
