Reusable WOMEN menstrual pad

  1. The Outer Body of the Pad
    • To make the outer body of the pad, you need to trace the disposable pad on the flannel cloth and cut out two pieces.
    • Make sure you add more length to the wings in the flannel because it has to overlap each other through fastenings.
  2. The Inner Part of the pad
    • Take an old towel that is still usable and cut out some rectangular shapes with curved edges.
    • These need to be 2.5 cm shorter than the flannel cutouts. Place the towel liner centered between these. You can place more than one based upon your preference and place it using pins to keep the layers from shifting.
  3. Stiching Work
    • You can either hand sew the pads or use a sewing machine.
    • Attach the inner part to the center of the outer part using pins.
    • Next stitch carefully all around your pad sticking as close to the edge as you can, and again backstitching at the beginning and end. Make sure you align and pinch the layers so that they stay put as you work around.
  4. Finishing
    • Now you need to fix the snap buttons on the wings that will keep the pad in place.
  5. Washing Guid
    • You need to wash the pads right away after use preferably with cold water. Also, make sure you wring it really well. Unlike the commercial pads, these pads do not smell and can last really long. Not only are the materials environmental friendly, they are comfortable and cheap too.
