Cloth Menstrual Pads

Among other accomplishments this month, this has been my greatest, I learned how to sew and created some much needed pads. I use a Diva Cup regularly but I'm thinking postpartum and preparing. These pics are of the first version, where I measured my regular pads and sewed them accordingly. Unfortunately this did not allow room to snap the wings together. So I amended the pattern with an extra inch on each wing so that they will snap together nicely under your underwear.

* I kept the original pads that didn't have long enough wings to snap together and they work just fine, they sit on your underwear nicely without moving around. I didn't end up using any of my postpartum size as my bleeding was really minimal.
