Green 4 Less is run by Doa and is based in New York/Chicago. Green 4 Less also has a FB-page. She is very friendly and interested in eco-friendliness too! She even started her cloth pads shop together with her sister to be able to offer women an eco-friendly alternative to disposable pads. The shop's slogan is: 'Green your period.'
Now, what do I think about the cloth pads Green 4 Less offers?
I really like them! They are soft, comfortable, wash up well and I very much like their shape. I have two pads from them. A moderate and a heavy one. The moderate one is extremely thin, but still holds up well. The heavy one is a bit thicker, but I actually like that. It gives me a safe feeling : ) and holds up really well too. Wearing these two pads I also had the impression that they stay in place really well and seemed to mold themselves to my body. They are very affordable too, which is always a bonus if you are a student : ) Even the shipping to Europe is reasonable.
All in all, this shop might not be very well-known (yet!), but if you are looking for some great affordable cloth pads, I would definitely recommend you check this shop out!
