light overnight pad
(crossposted to sergernewbie and diy_pads)
Had some scraps from making some nursing pads for a relative so I thought I'd make myself a light overnight pad. I like longer pads for overnight because the first night no matter how much I love my Diva, it leaks. I'm just too heavy to go that long without emptying and even if I do get up once during the night, I tend to leak when I stand. So I like the protection of a long overnight pad. I have bulky ones for times when I don't want to or can't use the cup, but this one is constructed for use with it. It is four layers of pre-washed flannel with one layer of PUL on the bottom.
Don't mind the shaggy strings, I haven't had a chance to trim it yet.
