Besides cloth pads, Emani also offers cup spots to rest your menstrual cup on, and also thé cutest period related stickers! You can use them on your calendar to track your period, but you could also use them on your school binder, diary, for crafts projects (like I am planning to! Stay tuned for a photo :p), and probably lots of other thing you could think of too :D!
Cup spots:
Rainbows Grace is run by Emani and is based in Ohio. Emani is very sweet and helpful. Her customer service is simply the best! I've asked her a ton of questions and she always did everything she could to help me out. Thank you so much, Emani!
Now, what are Rainbows Grace's cloth pads like?
I love them! Rainbows Grace pads have only been around for a little less than a year now, but since, they already have undergone some huge changes in their design, which made them even more fabulous than they already were. I have two pads from the old design as well as some from the new design and even one of thé newest ones backed in WindPro.
About WindPro
WindPro is the queen of all fleeces and makes pads virtually waterproof! What I love is that for her shop, Emani only chooses only NON DWR treated WindPro fleece. (DWR is a spray sometimes sprayed on the fleece to make it water proof. Not only is it a harsh chemical but, also the DWR washes out in about 8-10 washes.)
Note: Although they are backed in WindPro, Rainbows Grace pads also are still affordable, even when you live in another country than the US for the shipping is very reasonable too.
About Rainbows Grace's cloth pads
Where the old design still was a bit bulky, the pads that are in her store right at the moment are incredibly thin, yet still very absorbent, and now with the WindPro backing they will be even more so :D
What I also love about Rainbows Grace pads, is their shape. I'm very petite, but they are so comfortable! They fit my underwear perfectly and contour well to my body to the point I would forget I'm even wearing a pad. I always feel secure when wearing them.
As an absorbent core, Emani uses a combination of a number of layers of bamboo fleece and flannel. Something very practical is that the absorbency of each pad is indicated by a little ribbon, which can be found on the back of the pad under the snap on the wing. There is a different colour of ribbon for every absorbency:
- No ribbon - Pantyliner
- Light Pink ribbon - Light Pad
- Hot Pink ribbon - Regular Pad
- Red ribbon - Heavy Pad
- Deep Purple ribbon - Super Pad
Another reason to check out Rainbows Grace is that the prints are gorgeous! Each and every time I'm on my period they make me smile, even when I'm cramping : )
Talking about prints, this calls for:
