I tried these last year and I wont go back.I also had an old chamber pot with a lid.I placed in the bathroom for decoration that conceals them in.
When the time comes I add oxyclean to water in the chamber and soak untill washed out. Works well.

Way to go! I love my cloth pad stash.

I'm really amazed at how many people are just like "ew gross". Do you know what's grosser? All of your rotten disposable pads filling up a landfill. I just recently switched over to all cloth pads (still use tampons too) and it was the best decision. I have an all natural stain remover that smells wicked and I use that to keep them pretty. They don't stink, they don't stick to my body, I barely ever get a wedgy, they are soft and comfortable. I actually got so used to them that when I ran out with my starter kit, and had to use a disposable, I Was grossed out. That's why I got a full kit from Lunapads. It's great to know I'm doing something good for the environment and they're comfortable and cute!

And I'm 23

In case people are thinking young people won't catch on.

I could not agree more, it's a matter of mind set. I guess I have been around long enough to know there are far worse/nasty things out there for me to deal with.

I've been meaning to make some for my daughter's and I..To me they wouldn't be any grosser than cloth diapers...

I am wondering if that snap would be in a very uncomfortable place...? But great idea.

Hahaha slip them in the wash all secret like huh?
You know how the old biddies talk about it being tacky to hang your underwear out on the clothesline? My girly pads are out there too. But I doubt many would know what they were. Still, it's pretty obvious that they aren't socks/towels/undies/shirts/etc. so WHAT are they?????

I do rinse mine out and dry them over the shower rod between loads of laundry. Kinda like washing them twice I guess.
I wash everything together, yes, even towels. My rinsed out pads aren't as bad as hubby's work clothes....

hotpot holders lol
