Findings from my CUT OUT pad
December 7, 2009
After using cloth pad for my menses almost a year, I sometimes cannot be bothered if there are unremoveable stains on my pads. I am still sceptical about if it really gonna grow bacteria in the between layers so I decided to open up an old pad to check. Guess what’s my finding?
Outer Vs. Inner layers
As I do not bother to soak with soapy water (you see, I can change new ones as frequent as I want, hehe…) the surface sometimes leaves stains. When I cut it up, I am SO SURPISE to see that the inner layers (right to the bottom) is actually as good as new!! Wonder why??
Well, the answer is because blood (blood from any part of our body, not just menses) is easily staineable ONLY when it is exposed to air. It will be good to sun your pads on the line as sun not only kills bacteria (hey, our blood is sterile anyway, OK!), it works great as a whitening agent too. But even if you don’t, you can now be assured that your pads is really clean in the inside (see picture above). Don’t believe, go open up your pad and check it out yourself

Hi Chin Nee,
I just bought the cloth pad yesterday from Fabulous Mom. I have 2 questions for you.
1. What kind of detergent can I use to wash the pad? Is it ok to use Dynamo or those powder detergent?
2. I wanted to buy the night pad with additional 2inch length but unfortunately FM doesn’t sell it. Is it because it is a customised order and if I really want to buy, I would have to order directly from you?
Thanks!
Cheers,
Sheryl

[...] However some might not prefer due to the difficulty to remove the blood stains 100% on top, although we all know that the inner has been totally clean (as long as there is no more blood coming out during rinsing). See our cut out pad here. [...]
