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. 

Environmenstrual Modern Cloth Pads Review

Hello lovelies,
  Today I will be doing a review on a wonderful shop by the name of Environmenstrual. I was lucky enough to have won one of Rachel's awesome giveaways that she offers quite often. She sells a great variety of pads from thong liners up to 13.5' Xl overnights. Her pads are some of the most beautiful ones that I have ever seen. They are topped with a variety of beautifully dye fabrics like minky, bamboo velour and cotton velveteen. The core of her pads are made from super absorbent bamboo fleece . What makes her pads even more awesome is that she uses a hidden layer of pul to make them waterproof and backs the pads in gorgeous cotton prints. So they are truly beautiful from top to bottom.

On to the pad I won. It's a beautiful overnight pad topped in mystic potion minky and backed in a pretty floral print that compliments it perfectly.

The pad is 11.5in long and has two snaps to adjust the middle width to your liking. It snaps at approximately 2.5in on the smallest snap and 3in on the widest snap. 

This pad is one of the most absorbent pads I have ever used. The core is made up of two layers of bamboo fleece and is wonderful. I was having a super heavy flow day and decided to test this bad boy out. I kept going to the bathroom to see if I needed to change it and every time I did  it still looked fine and like it could hold more. I kept this pad on for 6 hours! At that point I was sure that my flow must have just slowed down. I changed pads and went to rinse this one out. WOW! My flow had definitely not slowed down at all!!! This pad had held a ton!!!! I was truly amazed. To top it all off its super trim. It is the trimmest heavy pad I own. 

Rachel is a great pad maker and has definitely made an awesome product through and through. She is based in Australia and that makes for a slightly great shipping fee if you are in the US but it is worth it. If you are curious about her pads and have considered making a purchase. Do it, do it now! Environmenstrual pads are the bomb!

I did not purchase this pad but I promise that wining this pad has not had any impact on any part of the review above. I wrote this review of my own want and desire to share with my readers this awesome cloth pad brand.

Creations by Five Cloth Pad Review

Hi lovelies,

  Today I will be doing a review on a shop by the name of Creations by Five. The lady who makes these pads is named Christy and she is great to work with.

Christy offers panty liners up to postpartum/over night pads. I have order two or three times from Christy and these are the pads I have from her.

One 8in. Medium/heavy pink minky topped and fleece backed, three 8.5in grey minky topped and fleece backed pads. Two are medium/heavy one is light/regular, one 7in light/regular pink chevron flannel topped and fleece backed, one 8" medium/heavy batik cotton topped and fleece backed and one 8in panty liner key print cotton topped flannel backed.

The pad absorbency levels that I have from her are as follows:

Panty liner- your choice of top, one layer zorb core and flannel backed

Light/regular- your choice top, one layer zorb core and backed with moisture resistant fleece

Medium/heavy- your choice top, two layer zorb core and backed with moisture resistant fleece

All of her pads snap at 2.75in. wide but she has the option to add a second snap if you want a narrower option.

Christy's pads are very well made. I love the shape of them, it works very well for my body. I love how absorbent they are. The medium/heavys definitely hold up to my heaviest flow day with no leaks. They may not be as trim as some pads but I like the comfort that adds to my mind on my heavy  days. The light/regular pads are very absorbent as well. I have used them on heavy days and had no issues. They are pretty trim and I can barely feel them when wearing. Her panty liners are very nice super trim yet able to hold more than most other panty liners on the market. I have nothing negative to add about her pads. They are well made, competitively priced and do their job very well. Shipping is fast and well priced. I love the awesome prints she offers and hope to add more of hers to my stash in the future. I really want to try her postpartum/overnight pads.
