I don't know why I never thought of it before...I mean, I use cloth diapers, and these are basically the same idea...just for mama's instead. I'm talking about cloth pads. I sure wish I'd have discovered these YEARS ago!! They are incredible. Honestly. And not gross at all! Effie the Pixie sent out a few cloth pads to try out - a 10" Micro Fleece topped pad, an 8.5" bamboo velour topped pad, and a few 7" flannel topped panty liners. I loved every one of them. They are 100% for sure the most comfortable and best fitting pads that I have ever used. I love cloth! No wonder babies/kids like cloth diapers better than disposables! :) Oh yeah, and like I said - they weren't gross at all. In fact, I had WAY less leaking issues with these cloth pads, and they were very easy to take care of...basically just rinse them out a bit and throw them in wth your laundry. The cloth pads I received from Effie the Pixie were VERY absorbant as well. I used FAR less of them than I would've normally used if I had disposable pads. Plus, her designs are wonderful. They pads fit extrememly well, and even look pretty! ;) So, my take on my first try with cloth mama pads? LOVE IT!! They save money, save the environment, are WAY more comfortable, and let's just say that I'd recommend them to any mama and would say that cloth pads are definitely worth the investment!
WIN IT! Effie the Pixie has offered THREE fabulous prizes! One winner will receive a 10" micro fleece pad, the second winner will receive an 8.5" bamboo velour pad, and the third winner will receive 2 bamboo cotton topped 7" panty liners!!

I linke th emonkey print panty liner and the pink/brown flower one.
I had thought about giving these a try since we use cloth wipes/diapers, napkins, cloth in place of papertowel etc.
I would love to win and give them a try!

I would love to try these! I feel more protected with a longer pad, so I would choose the bamboo velour. There are so many great patterns! I like the black and red argyle, and the amelia leaf.
I would love to try the 10" Medium Day Pad -Amelia Flower (Dry-Feel Micro Fleece) I just love this pattern!

I'm definitely skeptical about these... I checked out the website and they look interesting... I like the 11.5 ones... still not sure I would like these...

I would go with a medium "feel dry" fabric; does the pattern really matter? ;)

I love the bamboo pads for light days but the over night ones look the best, especially since I'd love to have these for fright after the baby comes. I'd be happy with winning any of the three prizes. I love the pink/brown flower one by the way.
