Caroline's Creations Review

My very first Caroline's Creations pad was a 14' overnight minky that I got in a destash. I was instantly in love! This was my very first overnight pad and it was this pad that had me hooked on cloth. This pad is so soft and plush and absorbent. It was amazing. I have been a tampon user since I was 17. I'm talking tampon in 24/7 for my whole cycle. I hated pads, especially at night. I always leaked and never felt secure. That was until I tried this pad. I wore it all night woke up the next morning with clean undies and be sheets! It had worked! And might I had how amazingly comfortable it was !



I have ordered twice from her since then. Both small purchases but hopefully I can add more of her pads to my stash. The first order was a 10' average flow pad and two matching face scrubbies.

This pad is just as awesome. They are so well made and hold a ton. It is cotton topped and fleece backed with a hidden layer of pul . I also asked for a second snap to be able to adjust the width . The width is 2.75 on the first snap and 2.5 on the second snap. 

Her pads have the absorbency stitched on the wing of the pad. Which is great! No more guessing or trying to remember what pads are what absorbency.

A = Average flow which is a core of one layer zorb and two layers flannel. This pad is super absorbent and yet still very trim. 

My matching face scrubbies are so cute and work very well. When I'm on my cycle and using a cup I take these with me in my wet bag and use them to wipe out my cup when I'm out and about and need to empty it but don't have access to a sink. It works perfect and doesn't leave any fibers behind like toilet paper does. It also gives my a clean spot to sit my cup on before I put it back in.

My second order was this super cute liner. I love fall and when I seen the leaves I had to have it. It 8" long and 2.5" wide when snapped. It is three layers of orange flannel and two layers of quilters cotton in the fall leaves print. This is a perfect everyday liner or menstrual cup back up.


I also ordered some more face scrubbies. This time the were Obv ones and they are awesome. Super soft and feel great scrubbing your face.  And again great as a mini wipe and clean surface for you menstrual cup while on the go.

Caroline is an amazing seamstress. She makes amazing products and is a pleasure to do business with. Her communication and customer service is fabulous and her shipping speeds and wonderful. If you are contemplating buying from Caroline's Creations do it! You will be so happy you did.

Jordan's Eco Alternatives Review

Today's review is on Jordan's Eco Alternatives . She got in some awesome Skelanimal prints that I just had to have. 

Jordan is awesome. She was so sweet and has amazing communication and customer service. 

I did a custom order for one 10.5' heavy pad and an 8' liner.

The 10.5' heavy pad is cotton topped and black fleece backed. It's core is a layer of zorb and a layer of bamboo fleece. This made for an extremely absorbent pad but was still trim. I used it on a heavy day for 4 hours and had no leaks! It has two snaps to adjust the width of the pad.


The 8' liner was cotton topped and backed in the Skelanimal print. The core is a layer of zorb. For being a liner with no waterproof layer this pad is awesome. It is trim and so breathable. I was trying out many new menstrual cups this cycle and always wore a liner in case of leaks. I did have a leak once while testing the capacity on one of my cups. I was wearing this liner and it caught the whole leak. 



My order came with a package of tea which is such a sweet and unique touch. It's the little things like that really make different people's shops stand out.

The speed of completion and shipping was outstanding for a custom order. Under a week from the time I ordered till it was at my door. 

All in all it was a great experience. Her pads are well made and work great. She is very nice to work with. I can say with confidence that I recommend her shop to everyone.
