Two layers of Zorb can replace up to eight layers of flannel, six layers of french terry, and five layers of fleece. SILVADURUsing a straight stitch, sew a pattern through all layers of the pad.

Fabrics for Reusable Pads A common question that people have is whether or not Interlabial Pads are comfortable. In our experience, not really. If you’re wearing them while you sleep, they’re not a bad option.

Commenting on the launch, celia Pool, DAME co-founder said: “Interlabial pads might be a lesser-known period product at present, but we are so excited to be spreading the word of this mini pad and its fantastic uses. Here at DAME, our mission is to make periods positive, so we are thrilled to be making this product using offcuts, causing as little harm to our environment as possible.” Now, I know it’s probably just an irrational fear of trying something new during my period, yet I like learning about new ideas and inventions in case there’s something new that can actually make my periods more manageable and bearable. So, one of the new products that are becoming a sensation on the internet and many are talking about are interlabial pads. I know this sounds like a hyper technologically advanced product but actually, it’s quite simple and not that scary as it sounds. Interlabial pads, as its name shows are pieces of fabric you fold and put right through the length of the labia. Most of them are reusable since they’re made with natural fabrics. There are two types of people. Those who embrace their periods and those who loathe them. No matter how much I admire those who decide to embrace this natural process openly and who encourage others to accept it, for me, it’s something quite impossible to achieve. For that same reason, I recognize that most of my emotional and physical attitudes towards menstruation are pretty outdated. I mention this because every time I see a new period product I can’t help but feel a bit uncomfortable, and even scared, to give it a try. For instance, I’ve heard so many wonderful things about the cup, and although all the benefits it has real appeal to my needs, I just can’t picture myself wearing anything else than pads, or very rarely a tampon if I’m going to swimming during my period. Period panties can be great for anyone with a super heavy flow, those who need extra protection overnight, or anyone with a light flow tired of wasting liners. A great tip is to just rinse your pad off in the shower. Once you’ve completely rinsed it, you can store it in your menstrual bag. If you don’t have time to get in the shower, use cold water in the sink to rinse it out. When your period is over, wash all of your pads in the washing machine.

We all know about tampons and pads and if you’re here, you’re probably aware of menstrual cups. Did you know there are quite a few other “alternative” menstrual products in various materials and forms? Some are worth a good laugh (the crocheted tampon comes to mind) while others could be something worth a shot for your next cycle. Interlabial Pads One last very important thing: wear your reusable pads with period panties. When I know I’m going to be sleeping and I don’t want to get up in the middle of the night, I wear period panties to make myself feel a little bit more secure. The company that sells them says that they’re a “cross between a panty liner and a tampon.” Inter-labial pads are designed to be worn lengthwise between the labia folds. They can catch leaks before they happen, especially if you tend to “gush” menstrual fluid in a forceful kind of way. Very Heavy Period? Here’s How you Can Sleep through the Night! She went on, "Some people have really gushy periods and their sanitary pad doesn't have enough time to absorb all of that blood, so it can leak onto the wings." Here's where the interlabial pad comes in...Women who get skin irritation on the labia from using sanitary napkin/pads should consider trying Interlabial pads,” says Dr. Sherry A. Ross. Ross also suggests interlabial pads for folks who have chronic vaginal discharge, have recently given birth and are experiencing incontinence as the result of weakened pelvic muscles (or for any other reason). We love that intralabial petals are more of an internal item. This can feel more comfortable for some people, especially those who are pretty active.
