Mother’s Cloth and Cups

[mechelle]

I recently ran across an ad for mother’s cloth, me being me i had to see what it was. This led me on a two hour webploration of all natural/green feminine hygiene products.

I was wondering if anyone has used any of these green forms of hygiene products and if so can you recommend them or give your thoughts please? From what I read, some help with the feminine itching, irritations and even have much lower percentages of tss. so i would really love to find out if anyone has any experience with this sort of products.

I use the glad rags and they have saved me a lot of money, but I still worry about leaking…guess that part never goes away

I agree. Always thinking about leaks, although (with Diva Cup) they’re rare. And the comfort of not using the commercial brands is amazing.

I had to grab some at the grocery store since I was out of town and unprepared (my cycle is lessening although I’m on 40, and I don’t have a clue when it’s going to come), and hated wearing those pads. ugh! it was awful.

I have made my own cloth and use it on a regular basis. I have also used the cup. I liked it at first, but after my second child, it just doesnt feel right and I dont even use it anymore.

I even used the size recommended for women who have had babies. Probably just a problem with me (though my obgyn says I am ok), but now I am wondering if any one else has had issues after it working out just fine.
