Soakers (reversible) – (top piece only. A MUST HAVE FOR ALL CLOTH PAD USERS)
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.

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:
- First, rinse pad until water runs clear.
- Fold, snap up and store in wetbag (if you are away from home)
- 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.

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

1…2…3….*taking a deep deep breathe*…phiew….
Finally I get the Mama Patch Modern Cloth Pad launched after planning and working on it for many many months ago. You will not believe how relieve I feel to get things done especially when my learning-to-walk boys are sticking to me like super glue recently.
Mama Patch Modern Pads comes with assorted colors of flannel with matching printed wings / plain color wings. Made from layers of colorful flannel with a layer of breathable waterproof backing, these pads comes in 4 sizes.
Night Pads
These 11″ contour pads are generously sized with a 5″ at the back to prevent leakage at night. Layers of flannels are embroidered altogether for a better absorbancy at the top. Choose from our matching cute printed wings (or if you like it plain) with pair of matching colorful snaps on the wings for a better secure.
Regular Pads
More colors available for our regular pads. Just choose from our matching cute printed wings (also available in plain) with pair of matching colorful snaps on the wings for a better secure. To enjoy greater saving, use it together with our soakers so that you do not have to change pads that regularly.
Liners/Soakers
Since most disposable liners come without wings, I suppose they actually works great just without wings. Wings only comes handy to prevent movement (hmm….cloth pad hardly moves if we wear our undies securely), and falling INTO the loo (as it happened once to me!)
So in the end, I came up with 2 designs available so liners without wings that they can also be used as soakers for regular pads for better saving.
