Why are wetbags so expensive? Can’t we just use the very cheap and commonly PVC bags?

Unlike PVC bags, Wetbags is totally made of cloth and a water barrier layer sewn seperately inside to prevent wicking. You can easily toss them in your regular wash and dry cycle along with your cloth pads or cloth diapers. By washing and reusing these bags, you can help to minimize the use of plastic and help to save our environment.

What is PVC?

PVC is one of the most toxic substances contaminating our planet throughout its lifecycle. A plastic commonly known as ‘vinyl’, PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) is the most environmentally damaging of all plastics. It is so commonly used and many “better” plastic zipped bags are sold in the market and made of these materials.

Some Bigger Wetbags made to order. They are very practical bags to store your:

• babies cloth diapers
• kids wet/soil clothes
• wet towel/swim wear
• your children’s school cutlery, plate and cups
• Keep sweaty clothing from gym work-outs

Smaller Wetbags are best for

• cloth pads
• your kids cutlery in school/during outing
• cosmetic

If you have not seen our Washable Soaker (made of 3 layers flannel), you must really check this out. Priced at only Rm8/pc, many of our cloth customers find this soaker so useful on their heavy days. Tips collected from Mama Patch Cloth Pad Users:

• By adding a piece of this on top of the pad of your regular pad, it will last longer especially on outings so you do not have to change so often
• Instead of changing every fresh piece which could be costly, you can just remove your soaker and continue using the fresh one at the bottom.
• Get frustruated when you oozed out the jelly blood clot AGAIN just after a fresh change? With a soaker on top, you just have to simply remove this little soiled piece instead changing the whole pad.

These soakers can also be used as liners as long as you remember to hold it on when you go to the loo. However they are not recommended since it comes without a snap and it could easily slip into the toilet when you remove your undies.

Custom Sized Liners and Pads (FLORAL PRINT – blue/red)

To make sewing easy for custom order, each design will come in a pack of 5 (of same measurement for same color pads/liners). For instant, if you like longer liners, say at the measurement of 7.5″ length for blue floral, then u can order in 5 pcs/pack. If you wish to find out more, feel free to write to us at mama_patch@yahoo.com for a quote.

I just love these lovely prints myself! If you love flannel pads and hate the noticeable stains on your pad surface, perhaps pads with floral prints will suit you best!

I can’t stop myself from frequently shopping for latest fabric in town. If time permits (as long as hubby is willing to help to keep an eye on the kids, or as long they are not *SCREAMING*, I will spend some time walking into the fabric shop, checking out to see what’s new. Normally I would not come out empty handed as I will surely catch something exciting, be it for Mama Patch or my kid’s projects.

Improvised with a better water barrier backing and added terry layer, Mama Patch Regular pads can absorb more than before. It can last for longer hours before the next change. Although we can create thicker pads, it would be very much a problem to get them dried when sunlight is limited during the rainy season.

*Usage:

With pretty matching color snaps and no messy insert, our All-In-One (AIO) flannel pads is easy to use. Just snap and go. Just a note: Remember to change more frequently on your heaviest day, although we suggest not use more than 3 hours (depending on individual’s flow) to prevent leakage.

*Care Tips:

1. First, rinse pad until water runs clear.
2. Fold, snap up and store in wetbag (if you are away from home)
3. Soak in a small pail and add a few drops of vinegar (as disinfectant) and baking soda (or even salt) if stain persist. Hand wash for longer lasting or toss into washing machine with your undies. Remember, DO NOT SCRUB your cloth pad.

Afraid of not getting the inner part cleaner than the surface? Check this picture out from my cut up pad.

What is special about Mama Patch Modern Cloth Pad

1. Contour Stitched/Embroidered for better absorbancy and leakage to the side

2. Soakers only at Rm8

Instead of changing pad regularly, just add a soaker on top of your cloth pad for extra absorbancy. On lighter days, they work great as panty liners (however it is not recommended to be used as liners as it might move around easily. Although you have to make sure holding onto them during removal of your undies to prevent fall)

2. Mama Patch Liners/ Soakers are also reversible (snaps usable on both side). Just turned onto the fresh surface when you need to refresh.

3. Soft label tag (for all Regulars and Night Pads). Pretty useful to hook your clean pad on the hanger so you do not have to worry about falling them from your hand while changing.

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

Nothing can be happier for me when I hear good news on how cloth actually helps to improve menses problem. This is what I received from one of my reseller yesterday.

“hi chin nee. last week i receive a new testimony from a fren. she claim that she is not using mamapatch pantyliner anymore. she mention that her discharge is totally gone after using it 4 almost 3 month. she is among of my 1st customer. And last week she place an order of regular n night pad 4 her n her sister too! she want me to thank you 4 ur great product. i hope we can share this great news with others. thanks.”

And another message from herself (who is also a user):

“My menses does not last more than 5 days nowadays. My friend said the same thing. Maybe it is coincident. but what ever it is.. both r us r happy with it!”

I personally experience the above too. Not only my menses are very much lighter than before (I only converted to cloth about less than a year), the period is shorten too. No more blood clots, no more bad cramps. Surprisingly enough but I am glad that I no longer need to be tortured with monthly discomfort during my period.

You should see how surprise the disposable pads promoters were when I told them I no longer need to buy any pads as I have converted to cloth 100%, even on my outing. You will be surprise to find that cloth is actually so easy to use once you know how many hours a piece of cloth can last yourself before you need a fresh change to prevent leaking.

Disclaimer: Although Mama Patch Modern Cloth Pads comes with a breathable water barrier layer, one should remember to change ON TIME, depending on the heaviness of individual flow to prevent leakage. ]]> http://blog.mamapatch.com/2009/11/how-cloth-helps-with-menses-problem/feed/ 1 http://blog.mamapatch.com/2009/11/pocket-ring-slings/ http://blog.mamapatch.com/2009/11/pocket-ring-slings/#comments Tue, 24 Nov 2009 03:47:41 +0000 http://blog.mamapatch.com/?p=362 updated as of 24 November, 2009
