This idea is interesting to me.
I remember a few years ago I heard about a "cup" that you insert-- it kind of looks like a diaphram-- and it catches everything and you just take it out and wash it. But with Naturl Family Planning they suggest only using pads because tampons can throw off readings.
I'm definitely interested in these cloth pads. I looked up a few links but I don't want to pay a lot of money for them. I also found a pattern but I don't know how to sew. My husband is the "seamstress" of the house but he works 6 days a week. I'd feel bad asking him to make them for me.
I'm sure I can make them myself but I don't know what kind of fabric to use... how to sew in the snaps to keep them attached to the pantys... and most of my underwear wardrobe consists of thongs... how do I get around that? ... I guess I could adjust the pattern..
Has anyone here made these or bought these before? How do they work for you? How long do they last?
Muchos mahalos!
