For I like these pads so much, for Lola's friendliness and helpfulness, for that I really like them, and for the fact that I can't seem to find any review on this lovely lady's shop, I decided to do my first ever cloth pad review on the first time ever cloth pads I bought :)
That I've had these pads for nearly two years now, means that I also can offer you a view what your pads will look like after they've been used for some time!
These are the photo's like they were portrayed on Etsy for about 2 years ago:
- 9 1/2'' long
- 2 1/2'wide when snapped up
- flannel top layer
- core consisting of multiple layers of absorbent flannel, sewn to the top layer only (this is done to prevent leaks!)
- layer of PUL, which is a waterproof barrier to make the pad more leak-resistant
- bottom layer of white anti-pill fleece
- poly-resin KAM snaps applied using an industrial KAM snap press
- for light to medium protection
About the Maxi cloth menstrual pad 11 inches long with PUL:
- 11'' long
- wide when snapped up
- flannel top layer
- core consisting of multiple layers of absorbent flannel, sewn to the top layer only (this is done to prevent leaks!)
- layer of PUL, which is a waterproof barrier to make the pad more leak-resistant
- bottom layer of white anti-pill fleece
- poly-resin KAM snaps applied using an industrial KAM snap press
- for heavy days or overnight protection
My opinion:
These pads are wonderful. I'm really grateful I got them to be my first ever cloth pads and Lola as the first shop-owner to sell them to me. I cannot imagine having had a better first experience with cloth pads than I did. Thank you Lola!
The flannel top-fabric is of good quality. Nearly two years later the colours are still looking vivid and lively and the fabric is still in good shape. I also love the fact that, even as inexperienced as I was, I never leaked through them nor ever stained them so much I could no longer get the stain out again.
I still buy pads from Lola's Loft from time to time. I just even placed a custom order with her for one overnight pad and for one panty liner. I love her overnight pads and I had never gotten a chance to try her panty liners, since they were always sold out in the fabric I liked. I really wanted to try them though, since they seemed to be the way I love a panty liner to be. Lola went really out of her way to track down the fabric I liked and was always ever so friendly! I'm really grateful to her because I just love the fabric so much! I can't wait to receive them in the mail and try them out! I will post pictures on them when they've arrived so you can have a look too! I will also do a review on the panty liner and add it here too!
Update!!!! : )
My pad and pantyliner have arrived and I just love them to bits! They are so well-made and extremely pretty! I'm also really impressed with the panty liner. It is even better than I hoped for! It's so soft and stays in place so well. It seems also really holding up well even as a cup back-up!
I made the photos and will upload them shortly!
