Cloth Sanitary Pads: Care, Travel & Laundering Tips & Tricks

My main problem is dealing with the stains. I usually rinse the pads and then put them in a bucket of water. I think I used to add oxy clean or color safe bleach to the water, but now I'd prefer not to use those. Last time I think I added borax. But the stains don't come out, and while it doesn't really matter, I'd prefer to have them look nicer after they're washed. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get the stains out?

As a side note, I still get itchy sometimes toward the end of the cycle, even when wearing cloth pads. I thought it was because of a lack of "breathability." Beats me. Or maybe it's because the pad doesn't get changed as often when the cycle slows down.

I have been using Hydrogen Peroxide for household cleaning lately and read somewhere to use it to get blood stains out. I have put in the my pail of water and soak the pads in it until wash day and have had no problem. If the pad is extremely stained you could pour some right on before you put it in the pail. I don't know of anything that will get the stains out once they are set though. Sorry I can't help with that.

My midwife used this to get blood stains out of bedding and towels, etc. after the birth of one of my children. I was otherwise occupied Cheesy

so I wasn't hanging out in the laundry room to see how she used it, but it peroxide was on her "required for a homebirth" list, and she told me it was very effective. By the way, there were no stains on anything after she was done.

My midwife says she uses salt in the wash to get blood out, and peroxide on the floor or wherever for stains. So it sounds as tho both would work

I also pour peroxide in my soaking water and it works great! I've also poured it directly on the pad when necessary!

Ok, I am looking at switching to cloth, or something like the Divacup. Can you all tell me what your favorite product is and what's so great about it. I don't know where to start!

Thanks,
mommyoftwins

I use cloth pads exclusively, except for the occasional organic tampon on a heavy day when I have to be very active. The pads I use are made by a good friend of mine, we designed them together (well, I suggested things and she designed them Wink

) and I have lined and unlined pantyliners, and her pads with inserts. I love using the inserts because I can change them more often without changing the whole pad, and they wash and dry very quickly - I never have to worry about getting everything out as I would with a really thick pad. The inserts let you change the absorbency of the pad, and really are easy to use and comfy.
In case you're wondering, I don't make any profit from her sales, but she is a SAHM and makes a great product!

I just made the switch to cloth last month. I made my own. Very easy and I think that they feel much drier, cleaner and just more comfortable overall than disposables. Feminine itching has decreased and I thought I was crazy, but I'm sure that I had less bleeding AND I had no cramps. Could be a fluke, but I always have that crampy, yucky feeling in the first 24 hours and this month, I barely even noticed I was on my period. I asked a friend about her cloth pad use and she mentioned that she also bled less.

<things that make you go hmmmmmm>

As far as cleaning goes, I put them in an ice cream bucket with a lid and noone even noticed, but I would suggest using some kind of disinfectant in the water to keep them from molding(mildewing) unless you plan to wash them daily. The first day, the water in the bucket was less than pleasant, but I dumped it in the toilet and put fresh water in the bucket the second day and truly it was not as GROSS as I had imagined. I used a suggestion I read elsewhere and dumped the bucket, water, pads and all into the washer and spun the water out and then washed them with clothes as normal. They came out great. Not completely stain free, but they don't look any worse than my old panties do.

I am researching postpartum pads and a bit overwhelmed in the process. Have any of you actually used cloth pads for postpartum and had sucess. What did you use?

I just had a baby 2 month ago and used cloth pads postpartum and loved them. This was my first experience with them and I was very pleased. They were very comfortable and absorbent. No itching or leaks. This is where I got mine...

http://www.mom-and-me-creations.com

I ordered the postpartum for me and some of the others for my daugthers who are soon approaching "that age".

ndmomof5, I use these also. I love them and I love helping out the Backuses at the same time! I highly recommend them. She's doing a custom order for me right now.

During my cycle I have a trash can under my bathroom sink that has a lid on it. I have a bag in it all the time. I just fold my used ones in half and throw them in the trash can. The lid keeps the stink enclosed. At the end of the week I empty the bag into the washer and soak them in the washer in water, soap (biokleen) and hydrogen peroxide for several hours then run them through the normal wash cycle. I just toss the old bag and don't reuse it. I haven't had any trouble with molding, etc.

For the women that said that the get itchy/raw from reg disposable pads, it's probably the bleach they bleach the paper with. DD & I both had to switch to the hydrogen peroxide bleached ones from the HFS when we use disposables. DD & use a small metal step on trash can to keep used pads in whether cloth or disposable otherwise the dog gets them out & drags them all over the house b/c he thinks they are prey. Tongue

We used to use a opaque cookie type or Tupperware type canister with a tight sealing lid but with the nerve damage I have in my hands I find the step on trash can easier. Disposables go in wrapped in tp of course & fabric ones go in plain. When we empty it, the disposables go in the trash & it's taken out immed, the cloth ones get hydrogen peroxide & washed in a load of their own. HTH Blessings ~herbalmom

Okay, so I thought of a practical question: For all of you who are using these already---what do you do when you 're away from the house? Do you use disposables or do you carry a baggie or what? I really want to go this route but I need some guinea pigs to show me the way first Wink

I have an old cookie jar with a lid that I keep under the sink for soaking.... I like that it's not see thru and that it doesn't absorb any odors!

Almost any dollar store (or Walmart) carries small makeup bags for under a few dollars. They are lined with waterproof fabric and zip closed. I would keep this in my purse with clean inserts (or a clean pad) inside, and switch when I need to, using the bag to store the soiled one....

But only once have I ever "filled" a pad.... they really are at least 3x more absorbent than the disposable equivalent, and I really do bleed/cramp less.

I use the kind with the inserts on the top and if I know I'm going out I'll put in more inserts and then just flip the top one to the bottom when it is soiled... so that's what I do! It works for me - I'm a medium flow gal!

You can see pictures of the type of pad I use here:

I put a walmart sack in my purse for this reason. But I'm getting ready to make myself a little bag out of waterproof material that can be washed. I made my own pattern for mine. You can use a disposable one for a template just put about an inch around it and make it longer. You can either make the kind that has inserts. You just do the back like a pillow sham. Blah blah blah, hope that isn't to confusing. Grin

This is all fine and dandy, but really and truly....during a drought(like now), between these and cloth diapers on my son....we'd run the well dry.

Maybe, but the pads for a whole cycle don't even add up to more than a pair of jeans in the wash.

I just add mine in with other clothes, so I am not using more water using cloth pads.

I posted earlier that I wash mine & DD's in a load by themselves but our cycles overlap so by the end we have more than 1 person would use & we use folded washclothes for reg use & folded hand towels for night. All of our wash clothes & hand towels are white. If I didn't wash them separate, the guys wouldn't pay attention when folding & would put the stained ones in with the reg towels. Tongue

I do tend to throw DD's & my undies in the load also.

I can see the water being an issue for cloth diapers but for pads, even if you did wash them separate, it's only one load a month. Just my .02. Blessings ~herbalmom

Mine went from 5-7 days of very heavy flow to 3-5 days with maybe one day being heavier (but not as heavy as before). Less bleeding AND no yeast infection every month.

What's the difference between taking off a disposable pad and throwing it in the trash and taking off a cloth and throwing it in a basket? I keep a stainless steel garbage can with a plastic insert (that even has a handle) under my sink. I just toss them in and when it is full I pull out the plastic insert and dump it in the washing machine.

It's definitely been worth it for me. They're very comfortable. And dh says there's no smell either. He always complained that the bathroom stunk if the trash wasn't taken out daily.

I've just read thru this entire thread, and while I am still completely grossed out by the idea of these, I think I'm going to order some Glad Rags... are they really any good? I was going to get the organic... does it really make a difference? Also, it seems that so many non-organic ones are bright colors... what's up with that?
I just don't think that I can bring myself to sew my own right now, and my fabric store doesn't sell the organic cotton/flannel anyway...
I don't know why this bothers me so much when cloth diapers didn't even phase me...

I got Glad Rags before getting on Well Tell Me. I think the home made ones you can buy from the links mentioned on this thread are probably better. My rags seem a little cumbersome compared to the functionality of the others. For instance, I don't like the way the rag opens for the inserts. And they don't lay flat after being washed. It takes a bit of smoothing out. Anyway, that's my opinion.

My advice on asking "hubbie" first would be only for the cost involved. The mess of it really doesn't need to concern him. I mean, I have a small foot peddle trash can that has a hard plastic liner that I got from Target. (It's pink and cute, too Wink

.) That's where I put my dirty rags. As long as they're contained in the can, you can't see them or smell them. I do a soak while he's at work and pop them in the washer. He doesn't fold the laundry, so he hardly sees them at all, if ever. Using disposable, you've gotta throw your trash away in the can. What's the difference? I think the comfort and cost is way worth it. Especially if you get a Diva Cup. Hardly any laundry, then...... Wink

PS I'm not implying that you should get them anyway, even if your husband is totally revolted by the idea. I just mean that, it doesn't have to effect him/he doesn't have to know that they're there any more than the disposable.

This isn't a subject that I've discussed wtih Mr. B... I don't really think that this is something he cares to discuss on any level.
I'm the one more revolted by it, but I do feel that it would be more environmentally responsible... for what that's worth.... and also cheaper to a degree if I can maintain this....
My cycles are generally light and only 3-4 days anyway, I don't have cramps or irritiation, it just seems like a good thing to consider.
I am just reliving the horror stories of my grandmother who feels that all women are living under a curse and must suffer... she used to talk ad nauseaum about washing her "cloths" in the creek as a teen and I think it has stunted me for life...

I did put in an order for the gladrags as they are a light plain color... and I did get the organic cotton... I went ahead and got the set of 3 daytime and 1 night time.

I'm also wondering what would be the most economical way of laudering them... should I put them with my whites or towels or should they be washed alone?

I soak them in my pail (make sure you wash them the same day or they will stink) when I'm ready to wash them. As long as I don't put water on them, they don't smell. Then I drain in the toilet, tub or shower and throw into the washer and do a pre-wash cycle. Then I can add my whites.

Again, to everyone who gets the hee-bee-gee-bees over these things, it really is no big deal. The difference in comfort and cost FAR out weigh any grossness factor. Plus, it's such a great feeling to pass the "feminine hygiene products" aisle w/ no more thought than a great big "see ya!" Cheesy

I don't miss the quick run to the store b/c I forgot that I ran out last month........ and neither does my husband Cheesy

! Hey, that could be his big seller, if he doesn't like the idea.

I have the sponge tampons, but I've hardly used them b/c I like my Moon cup so much!

Hey, guys, would you wash a washcloth you cleaned up a bloody nose with by itself? Just asking? I kept mine in an ice cream bucket under the sink with water and peroxide. Then, I dumped it before washing them with my laundry (everyone has a "day" around here). You can always do an extra rinse, I do. Just my thoughts.BTW, I used them for postpartum and only bled half the time. Awesome! I made my own by modifying the pattern on Hillbilly Housewife.
I would be careful about the bleach. It could speed wear, just like diapers. If you want to get stains out, and this is an option, hang them outside for a few hours. Just make sure your milk man has already delivered. Wink

My first reaction was that it would probably be okay to share, but I was thinking that it would happen only if you disinfect them in a major way (hospital disinfecting level)... and that would probably not be WTM-friendly and would defeat part of the benefits of using cloth pads to begin with...
I was thinking that when dd needed some I would get her some also and hadn't considered the mixing them up/sharing issue.
I would think you could also mark them with a thread/floss or sharpie if they were the same color/pattern...

Well, soaking in peroxide or in borax is a big step in the disinfecting/washing process, imo. Haven't had any problems with them coming clean and no smell. I didn't make them really, really thick so overnight and heavy days might need two liners. The thicker pads don't wash or dry as well for us.
But we still keep the girl's cloth's separate. Like Mrs. B said, just stitch or make a mark of some sort to differentiate.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I have used peroxide to soak my pads and they always come out nice and clean with not smell but I also agree about needing each person to have their own. Guess I will just try get a different color for each. That seems to be the easiest solution. Guess that would almost mean each one would need a separate soaking bucket too?

Not necessarily, imo. My girls wash theirs out in running water and then put them in a bucket with diluted peroxide; about a half cup to a quart of water. I don't know, maybe I'm not particular enough, but if they're not complaining about it then I won't bring it up. Roll Eyes

There's only so far I will go.

I will be getting my daughter her own colors from mom and me creations. I personally could not imagine sharing with her. Kind of like sharing underwear. Tongue

When I use mine, I have a trash can with a liner under my sink that has a lid on it. I throw the used pads in there. The lid prevents any smell and it's under the sink (someplace I never go). At the end of the week I put them in the washer on small load. I add a bottle of peroxide and laundry soap (I use BioKleen) and let them soak for most of the day. Then I wash and dry from there. Never have smell and come out looking pretty good.

I've done tea tree, lavender, vinegar and bs at different times - mostly I just use clean water and switch it out daily - I always rinse them out well first as well. I'm going to try peroxide this cycle just to see if it makes any big difference but clean water is perfectly fine - no odors or problems. I do have a friend who kept hers in plain water in a closed container for 2 days and they got little black spots - only one time. She now cracks the lid on her container and it has never happened again. Not sure that was the cause but she suspects as much.

So, what temp do you all wash your pads in? Does it matter?

Also, has anyone tried GSE in the water for soaking?

I am trying to decide between storing dirty pads in a bucket with water or just putting them in a little step trash can without soaking until wash day as someone else suggested. I have tried the bucket with water & peroxide, & it seems quite messy & time consuming to try & rinse them out first. Tongue

I would sure like to do a dry pail like the diapers. Any advice?

Thanks!

I use cold water because it's more likely to get staining out. Although the pads still stain, I think it would be worse if I used hot water every time (setting in new stains each time). Personally, I wouldn't be able to stand the mess of soaking them. I have my lidded trash can under bathroom sink and there is never a smell or anything. I just make sure there's a trash bag in it. I haven't used GSE but if you're concerned about smell it certainly wouldn't hurt. I use biokleen laundry detergent and I never have trouble with smell. I don't think GSE would take out stains.
