Thanks for the positive and very encouraging support to Mama Patch Pads. I am indeed touched to know that so many friends around me are already reaching all way out to save our environment, besides enjoying the health, benefits and comfort from switching to cloth. Let me just share my childhood story here, starting from being a girl.

Experience with Disposable Pads

I consider myself one extremely unlucky female on earth having very bad regular menses cramp. Ever since I got my menses during my teens, I have been hating myself being a lady, having to go through monthly torture with not only bad cramp, but itchiness, rashes and extremely uncomfortable. I stay away from school and from work at least a day in a month when I have my menses. I had to rush myself into the loo very very frequently especially on heavy days as I can’t stand feeling damp when the blood clot gushed out from my body and stay jellied. And worst of all, I keep thinking that my blood stink, and it did not even cross my mind it is the horrible smell actually comes from the chemical in disposable pads. (to prove this, you notice our used liners sucks even though we do not bleed?)

Realise the Goodness of Cloth Pad

I started off my boys on cloth diapers after being nagged by a good online friend (must really thanks to you, Chanel). It really feels great converting my boys fully to cloth even at night and I thought, why not myself to cloth as well?

I was really skeptical about the whole thing at first, but well, no harm trying anyway. I started myself with cloth pad on lighter days and slowly brave myself to use cloth even on my heaviest flow. I was really amaze to realise that even a piece of thin cloth pad can actually absorb so much better than disposable! With cloth, now I could sleep very comfortably at night without having to worry myself overflow all over my mattress sheet.

From then on, I have been fully on cloth even on outing. Not only it saves more (disposable pads are really expensive in long run), but I just love the comfort of wearing cloth pad. Gone were the days of my damp and discomfort experience and I have never turn back to disposable ever since.

Washing Part

You will be so surprise to know that our blood does not stink at all. It is actually the chemical that makes us stink. I love washing my own pad and each time I do, it somehow gives me a kind of satisfaction for saving the environment.

1. Whenever I change to a fresh one, I’ll rinse off my soiled pad under running water until water runs clear.
2. Then I’ll leave it to soak to remove stain.
3. Toss into machine and just wash it as how I do my undies together with the laundry.

Healthier living for our new generation

Wearing cloth is so much healtier too. Now I know how comfy my boys feel wearing cloth diapers instead of disposable diapers. Realising the benefits of cloth, I will surely put my girl on cloth too, in future so that she could have a healtier, comfortable growing up journey in her life.
