Disposable pads vs. cloth.
There IS no comparison.
On a local radio station this morning they had a “Three Things You Should Know”. One of the three things they discussed was that one of the large disposable pad companies has come out with a new ‘fall’ line of fashionable pads.
First off, I will commend this company for trying to branch out, and make periods something that’s positive and even possibly FUN!
Those of you who have been using cloth pads for years though, know that it’s not all about the fun.
They can add all the color they want to their pads, and while it makes them pretty, and I’m ALL for pretty things for us women, they are still missing out on the most important aspect of why women use cloth.
Comfort.
Plain and simple.
The pretty colors, the hand dyed velours, that’s all just a bonus.
The COMFORT is the one thing that keeps women coming back, over and over again.
COMFORT is what we women NEED.
And comfort, is what drives me to keep tweaking, and reconstructing the designs here at Homestead Emporium, until each pad is SO comfortable, you’d rather wear a luxurious cloth pad, then not!
What do YOU love best about cloth? Is it the colors, or is it the comfort?
I love the comfort, but most of all, I choose cloth because it’s free of chemicals and toxins. I don’t want any of those crystal gels bursting up.
Comfort on several levels:
Comfort in knowing that it works,
Comfort in ease of maintenance,
Comfort in the knowledge that it is better for the environment,
They are a part of my wardrobe rather than toilet paper.
Fabulos! I agree with all of this.
Just like Linda, I also use cloth pads because of the chemicals in disposable ones. In addition, I’ve had no leaks with cloth like I have with disposable pads.
