However, after a while, you will learn to use it properly and for me, I thought it was the best idea because you can leave it in and not worry about it while going to the bathroom, and most likely leave it in for a full work day. I never liked wearing pads when I used regular ones, so this worked best for me, but I never tried cloth ones!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16472559274783019669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659316646473577581.post-39885185654805552152010-07-17T22:35:22.756-04:002010-07-17T22:35:22.756-04:00Thanks for the great suggestions!

I have a Moonbow by Fussybutt (bought here:<br />http://sweetbottomsbaby.com/catalog.htm?category=115 ) in regular, and it is AMAZING how much it holds. I've stayed away from Happy Heinys because it's not the best fabric... you want highly absorbent material like bamboo or hemp. So I'd suggest looking into Moonbows or these two others I'm planning to try (and that also get rave reviews on diaper pin)<br /><br />http://www.dominopads.com/store.php?crn=214<br /><br />http://hyenacart.com/HomesteadEmporium/index.php?c=11simplymerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00372177541938492195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659316646473577581.post-3603144481984020042010-07-16T15:28:39.003-04:002010-07-16T15:28:39.003-04:00Oh thanks Krystal.

It is a slow process and sometimes I just need a regular old applicatorless tampon...also SG has chlorine free tamps for those days when you just don't want to deal with it all.<br /><br />Erin, I look forward to hearing your thoughts. I always value what you think and say about everything green. You help me with my decisions :) Send me some of the links to things you like.<br /><br />Do you think my period is going to come soon? Dalia eats anywhere between 0-2 times at night. I think I am ovulating (can you do this without a period) and I definitely have interesting things going on down there...<br /><br />Thanks!Sarah, Steve, and Daliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09766081928784007186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7659316646473577581.post-30468980801055843112010-07-16T13:31:07.448-04:002010-07-16T13:31:07.448-04:00I tried out some Mama Cloth options a while back a...I tried out some Mama Cloth options a while back and blogged about them here: http://musingsfrommomschool.blogspot.com/2009/12/this-ones-for-girls.html<br /><br />I have been using them ever since.<br /><br />I *just* got my first Diva Cup in the mail this week and was at the tail end of my cycle so I didn't really get to test it. I really hope it works for me, because it was expensive. I am hoping it will, because I chafe when I wear Mama Cloth and then go for a run.<br /><br />The sea sponges I tried are still an awesome option, too. Changing/washing them is kind of messy so I try to do that in the shower so it all just washes away quickly.<br /><br />Hope you find something you like!Krystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15341112847255454593noreply@blogger.com
