Things A Beginner Cloth Pad User Should Know


Starting off cloth can be a little bit overwhelming. There is tons pf makers that offer different styles, materials and lengths. 

Styles- flared, straight, curved, round
Length- there are lots of lengths available from 6in to 16in. They vary between light, moderate and heavy

Which one works best for you?
How do you find out?

Measure your boxer or brief panty from the top of the front waistline to determine the sizes in between that can work for you. If it is too big it can hang outside and if too small there is no coverage. I think 2 inches below would determine the size you would want to start off with.
Gusset- measure the inside of your panty to figure out what size works for you

Problem with your pad you ordered? Talk to the shop owner about your issue and concern. 

Weather- is it a hot where you are? Cotton or Wicking Jersey is recommended in the summer and Minky in the Winter


If I knew what I know now, I would try one or two styles just to get an idea of size, fit and length.  I'd try pul, windpro fleece and flannel backed. I'd try all fabrics. I'd research into shop owners and ask questions for a feel of their customer service.

Prairie Valley Cloth- the shop owner is so sweet, i learned my gusset size and length by her simply asking questions that helped me. She has wonderful customer service

The Spray Pal Bundle

I received the Spray Pal bundle for review. All opinions are my own and this is my homest Review. I was so excited to recieve this as I heard it's great for staying dry! I used the shower head and a bucket to spray my child's diaper off of poo and pee. Every time I felt like I needed to shower and put so much energy. I didn't feel comfortable dunking and so when the Spray Pal Bundle came I was so excited! I snapped the SprayPal and worked on my first diaper! 5,4,3,2,1 and swish the poo slid right off! The water pressure is very strong and unbelievable! I didnt have to touch anything because its so easy to clip on and will not slide off. You can also twist the Splatter Shield to get any excess water out! I give this a 5 stars out of 5 and definitely a must have if you dont want a splattery mess! Here's a video for you to see how easy it is: https://youtube.com/watch?v=t-w03JUp6KY
