Minky Topped Cloth Menstrual Pads

Who likes minky?  I love minky.....

So much so that I have made 6 new pads with a gorgeous soft dimpled minky top :)

These pads have a brushed cotton back with an absorbent core which consists of a layer of PUL and a layer of zorb.  They are so soft you won't believe how soft they are until you try them :)

Anyway, enough talking, here are some pictures :)

If you would like to purchase one of these please pop over to my shop on Etsy (www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Vampylady) or alternatively pop over to my Facebook page (www.facebook.com/FloCycle) and send me a message.

Apologies.....Preferences and Ideas

Firstly I would like to apologise to anyone following my blog for not posting much lately.  With one thing or another going on I have just been so busy and when I actually take a break and sit down, the last thing on my mind was writing a blog.  Holding down a full time job and a part time job as well as looking after 3 children (albeit 2 of them being 17), and taking time to make custom orders and trying to make pads to build up stock for summer fairs, I really don't know how I am still here - but I am :)

Ok, back to talking about cloth pads....what's your favourite absorbent core?  I always sew mine with either zorb or bamboo, do you prefer either of those, or do you prefer something else?

I am also going to try my hand at making a few small wet bags, perfect for putting in your handbag, however, need to get some more PUL before I can do that....plus I am slightly nervous as I have tried a couple of bags before and wasn't overly happy with results so will try a different pattern next time.

Also I am thinking about putting together a few starter packs, maybe a panty liner, 8 inch regular pad and a 10 inch heavy flow pad (and if I manage to get my head around wet bags maybe I can put a wet bag in the set too).  What are your thoughts on that?

This was my last attempt at a wet bag, which considering I had never sewn a zip into anything until I attempted wet bags I suppose it's not too bad :/

Right, best get on with getting youngest child sorted and ready for school and getting one of the twins out of bed to go to college (other twin has finished her course for this year), and getting myself ready for my full time job.
