Lunapads

At this point I have just a few cloth pads to my name and being that Lunapads teamed up with AFRIpads for their "One for Her" program I had to try Lunapads first.  That program ensures that for every pad for you that you purchase, be it throught the Lunapads site, through Amazon or Drugstore.com a pad is given to a schoolgirl in Africa.  One for you, "One for Her"...Brilliant!

Lunapads are constructed of two separate pieces. One is the pad base that is water resistant. This piece wraps around your panties with a snap and has a top and bottom piece of elastic to hold the inserts in place (the second part of the pad). Now I think this is an ingenious way of making pads! Not only will Lunapads contribute a pad to Afripads with each pad purchase, but you save money in the long run as well because you don't have to buy 30 pads.

With this system you can wear the same pad base all day (comfortably, I might add) while changing out the inserts when they become filled.  When I got my Lunapad I got a used postpartum pad with the postpartum inserts.  The inserts seem thin upon first inspecting but are surprisingly thirsty, even for someone with a very heavy flow.  Good for my daughter for sure! I thought that with her sensitive skin she would be bothered by the elastics but they don't bother her at all.

A great pad system for a good price and a good cause! You surely can't beat that!
