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

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.

Since I have been these pads for almost a year (I even throw them into the washing machine), I was quite alarm when I received feedback from 2 customers on how the laminated waterproof backing on their cloth pads has peeled off. Thanks for sharing this useful info, girls!
See picture above: Laminated fabric peeling off
Light rubbing (cloth on cloth) with hands if you must BUT REMEMBER, PLS DO NOT SCRUB!
1. On the flannel surface
I tried scrubbing on the surface of the flannel but instead of removing stains, I made it worst. The texture became rough and the surface pills. Although it still feels the same during wearing, but I hate it as it looks ugly.
2. On the waterproof backing
As we use laminated fabric for waterproofing (although tough enough to withstand the spinning of washing machine), this fabric certainly cannot be scrubbed.
Also do remember to read the Washing Instruction carefully on the packaging label before you use your cloth pads.
How to wash:
1. Rinse (squeeze your pads under running COLD water until water runs clear)
2. Soak if stain (with light soapy water/ tap cold water)
3. Wash together with your clothing (although it is machine washable, you can also hand wash for a longer life span)

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.
