That's the point. She didn't put it on the sides of the disposable, it traveled over there. Her pad absorbs before traveling that far.❤

Right it would be so uncomfortable but to each there own

Why wouldn't you wear grandma panties when you've got a heavy period and have to wear a pad, though? Wouldn't you be worried about ruining your nice ones? Besides, people with really heavy flows are more concerned about not ruining the clothes over their underwear than how nice their underwear is

These are going to be thicker than those flex foam pads, but they also hold significantly more. Even our regular pads would hold about double the flex foam of comparable size and these gusher style pads can hold more than our regular pads. If thin and trim pads is what is most important to you then I’d suggest looking at our regular reusable pads as they are definitely thinner, but if you’re looking for maximum absorption, these are going to be one of the best options out there.

Have to say that reusables are way thinner and hold way more than I thought they would. I have also noticed significant differences in my flow over the last few months of completely moving from commercial products to reusable products. It doesn't matter what products you choose to use but do your research on the products. The FDA doesn't regulate what toxins nor makes the companies that produce disposable products label those toxins. Those toxins are causing you to bleed more. Do your research. From someone that has fibroids and super heavy flows, and seeing the HUGE difference that reusable products make, it's definitely worth the investigation. I was super skeptical. And it took me a very long time and a lot of research in to what causes heavy flows, to make a more informed decision.

I used flex foam for a long time and then realized… I’m putting plastic and foam on the most sensitive skin on my body. Flex foam is not natural and my skin would get irritated by the third day of my period. Switching to natural products has been an adjustment but knowing I’m not putting chemicals near my most sacred body part is peace of mind.

We restocked yesterday!

No! They have a waterproof bottom layer

They are a game changer!

Fingers crossed!

Thank you! 😊

I honestly thought I was alone in the rashes. Ugh! what a find!

It's less disgusting than bleeding through your pants bc of a thinner pad. Back when I was in school, I was in construction class (all guys except one other girl). I bled through my light blue jeans during that class😢 The other girl helped me. I'd rather have to wash a more absorbent pad than for that incident to happen again 🥲

@@twilightwolf341 back in my old days

Toss them in the washing machine with some detergent. Doing a prerinse cycle first helps too

Wash and reuse!

I tend to agree and it wasn’t my personal experience but the sheer volume of people that reach out telling me they experience a shorter less painful period since switching does make me pause and question. I’m a pretty small business and still receive this comment multiple times a day and the longer I’ve been doing this the harder and harder it becomes to discount as coincidence.

I can’t say for sure either way, but it may not hurt to try without. If you do have that much pain I would recommend trying to have a chat with your dr about it.

Try switching to pads for a bit to see if it helps with the pain. If not, see a doctor just to make sure everything is normal

@@softtacoreusables thank you for the advice:)

@@WhoamI-ml6dj thank you for the advice :)

I know for me personally I had the most pain when my body was trying to expel the blood clots. Some months I had barely any & other months it was alot. I was 11 when I first started my monthly cycle. For the first 2-3 days, I was bedridden & vomiting. Thank God that part ended after a couple yrs.

I have a few videos all about the fabrics and a sewing tutorial!

Try practicing with an old flannel just to get the fit comfortable. I bought some panty liners and traced one of them onto paper. I made a few until I got the best fit. Then I ran out and got pretty fabric. I'm thrilled with mine. 🙂

Price varies a lot by size and style. Go Check out our site to see all the prices. SoftTacoReusables.ca

Love that!

Anything that doesn’t have fabric softener in it

If I were in thay situation I’d have the used pad in a waterproof bag and if they grab the bag I’d just say it’s my pad 🤷🏻‍♀️. But if that makes you uncomfortable to do you could just use disposables still in those specific situations.

It is easy. Toss them in the washing machine, press start and walk away 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would rather go for menstrual cup than cloth pad if I have to see lot of blood

@@softtacoreusables ummm with all the blood still saturated in it? Don’t you have to wash/rinse it out and place it in something as the ALL collect and then put it in a washing machine? Cuz just ONE bloody pad tossed in a washing machine is not going to be practical. You have to STILL collect them and rinse them out with easy use multiple times a day. So disposable ones seem to be the way to go. Unless you can explain the process better from application to discarding for the entire length of your cycle. The days of “isn’t this cute let’s pretend there isn’t some grimy thing behind getting this cute thing” are over. What is the process of using a modern day non disposable “BLOOD CLAT” (blood cloth aka cloth pad) that women will be subjected to.. cuz back in the day my mom had to wash EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM every time she had to change her cloth. She HATED IT. How will it be different NOW?

We definitely will be making a lot more. We underestimated how much demand there would be so this first batch went super quick. We’ll get to making more asap!

Most likely. We did this initial small trial to guage how much interest there would be in this style of pad before we go an do more. So far it’s looking like a yes as we have sold about 2/3 of what we made in just a couple of hours! But they do take a long time for us to make them so we will plan to get working on them, it won’t be super quick for them to be readt
