Lunapads! ❤ (Women only)

Just in case any of you women are considering them, I thought I'd give my review of them. Number one, they are awesome. You know how with pads, they crinkle like a plastic bad when you walk? All of that is eliminated!! They're quiet and function exactly like pads. The only difference is that these are fabric. That means, yes, you have to wash them. Some women put them in the washing/drying machine-- I advise against this. Once you put them in the washer and dryer, they act as lint traps, and I don't think on top of menstruating you want lint down there too. My mother has a recipe to get them clean: 3 TBSP Baking Soda and 3 TBSP Peroxide. Supposedly it gets them clean with no staining, but I've experienced some staining at the stage one would use pantyliners.

there is a problem with going outside of the house on a heavy flow. You will need to change it or double up at least once. What I do is try to find a private bathroom with a sink, rinse the used lunapad as thoroughly as possible and wring it dry. I keep a plastic bag for the newly-rinsed ones. Another problem is that these take a LONG time to dry. I wish I'd ordered more of the bigger ones, because the small ones just don't cut it unless I'm spotting. They do, however save a TON of money, I'm so glad I switched to Lunapads! I recommend it to all tree-huggers and all women looking to save A CRAPLOAD of money for the next few decades.
