What a wonderful group. I have been a user of reusable pads many years and I want to help this cause. My husband and I are leaving the country for a sabbatical and in the process I have cleaned out my wardrobe. I ended up with several soft cotton shirts and blouses that are unfit to sell or donate in that I want to keep them out of landfill and ( Read more... )

Laminated Cotton

Hi everyone,
I have some laminated cotton at home, but no PUL. I was wondering if it is ok to use laminated cotton for cloth pads. If anybody has done so, I would love to hear how it worked!
Thanks,
Trula
