I know I am 3 years late however I have only been part of a sewing group that sends things to kids and teens in other countries who don't have access/money for water/food much less things like pads. Many know that having your period is a negative thing in other countries like Africa and when the girls have their periods they cannot go to school. I got an email from a young girl/teen and all she wants for Christmas is different sized pads that she can simply rinse and later take down to the creek/river with a washboard and wash privately. I won't lie reading that she and all the girls get bullied over having a natural woman thing, it effecting her education, and she would rather quit school all together than have the monthly embarrassment if it starts while she's in school just made me want to cry for her. So I emailed the sewing group I am apart of and we're all on the hunt for different patterns, sizes, best fabrics for their type of environment, etc and we are going to start making reusable liners, light to heavy flow pads, and wet bags to send to those in need so they no longer have to miss school/work/etc.

If you don't like your walking foot try a Teflon coated foot it really helps with sewing on top of the PUL fabric.

[@emma-d7534]

The tutorial is very good, but...there is a lot of information missing. The names of the fabrics used is the main one like what on earth is PUL ??? but also where it can be purchased and is it available in all countries? I live in the UK for instance. Also, one viewer asked how much liquid it would take aproximately, no answer to that either!!!

[@emma-d7534]

I too would like the answers to those questions.

Pul is PolyUrethane Laminate, ie fabric coated with a really thin layer of a special type of waterproof “plastic” that is washable in hot (60°C) washing machine programs

You need to use clips or pins in the stitching area of the waterproof layer, (not the center) or it's not waterproof.

[@corkylorenz]

This was a while ago, so I don’t remember. Did I use pins within the pad area?

If you dont like using a walking foot get a Teflon coated foot it really helps

[@ScotiaGirl902]

I think that's my main problem, I don't take my time around curves, which is almost the most frustrating to me. My first few pads I used terry washcloths for the core and wow talk about fuzz lol I can't find any zorb or thin core products around here, but I did find some bamboo fleece I'm going to try. I did purchase your tess pattern which I am excited to try since there are no curves! This is the first video I have seen that used the flannel or what you used, as what is against you. I really prefer that way. I don't understand why they are made with the patterns facing you to to get stained 🧐 I am using brown flannel against the body so its easier to hide stains

[@Rosemary-lg8sf]

[@lirioconcepcion9662]

[@pattieevans93]

I was interested in learning about these pads for "leaking" urine for a an older friend. I am totally stumped about what the snaps are for. Do they secure the liner to underpants in the center of the crotch? What about the top and bottom sections in case of movement. Cannot imagine how one could be active and not have the pad move around while wearing it. What am I missing? What about pins top and bottom?

[@corkylorenz]

The snaps hold the middle on the pad to the crotch of your underwear. Most people find that if your underwear is snug fitting, this is adequate for keeping the ends from moving around. The kind of fabric you use also makes a difference and how much the pad will stay in place. A lot of people like to use a fuzzy fabric for the side of the pad that lays next to your underwear. It provides a little bit of grip so that it won’t slide. If the fabric is stiffer it can help the pad to not fold or bunch while you’re wearing it.

[@corkylorenz]

For the purpose of making incontinence pads I would try making a pad with flannel on the outside with a hidden layer of PUL. The PUL is waterproof and kind of stiff. And then the flannel will give a little bit of grip to stay in place.

[@pattieevans93]

[@dahanler1599]

Can we not just use the PUL layer as the shell and leave out the last outer layer?

[@corkylorenz]

Yes, you can do that! Some people like having a fuzzy backing so the pad slides around less. But that might not be an issue for you. Worth a try!

[@Alaskaraised]

Hello. I downloaded the pattern. In looking at it do you cut the pattern in the fold because if so both sides are the same size and it looks like in your video one side is smaller than the other like typical pads. Thank you for the help. 😊

[@maestrablorenzo]

Wao. This is great for me. Trying fro 3 months to start but not decided yet. I do not have bamboo, can I use fleece. Thanks

[@pahoua3277]

I saw someone use a towel for their inner core.

[@KatieCottingham]

You can definitely use fleece, just stick to cotton only for skin health. Regular towels can work, but you'd want to do two lines of zigzag stitching or serge the edge to prevent the cloth from falling apart. Using regular towel is very messy, so finding some cheap baby towels can give you layering options that don't fall apart as much.

Love your videos! Question of why you are changing to not using basting spray?

[@2008betwixt]

I would like to know that too, i can only imagine for health purposes, breathing anything in if you dont have to is worth trying not to use it, but then you could always pop a mask on for when you would spray.

[@KatieCottingham]

@@2008betwixt Most basting sprays don't have compounds that would irritate someone not extra sensitive unless you're going crazy with it in a zero ventilation space. I think it's more that it's not as accessible for everyone, it's not cheap, and manufacturing it isn't great for the earth. You could make a homemade starch that would wash out that could be used, you'd just want to make small batches as needed and be prepared to let it dry down more before trusting the hold.
