Mama cloth pads

We started making cloth pads and liners for postpartum reasons. I think you'll agree, it starts getting old having to wear pads for 6 weeks after having a baby. We use them and love them! That's why we wanted to offer these to other women.

Our pads and liners are made with a bottom waterproof layer of PUL, super-absorbent microfiber inside, and topped with soft Tonitex Microfleece. The fleece does such a good job at wicking moisture away.
With proper care, these pads are stain-free. Simply rinse in cold water after use, using a natural lye soap bar or whichever kind you like, (Ivory works well too) rub onto pad and let it sit until washed. Dry normal.

The Overnight/Postpartum/Heavy pads have 2 layers of Microfiber inside and are 12.5''.
Regular pads have 2 layers as well and are 10.5'' and liners have only one layer of microfiber making them really thin. These ones are popular because it feels like they're not even there, yet they are still pretty absorbent.

Prefolds





I have been making and using cloth diapers for over a year now. We started out with the old flat prefolds (which suck) and eventually ended up ruining a couple dozen diapers before we came up with a set pattern. So now of course I sell them, Its been pretty fun. It gives me (a stay at home mom) a little hobby I guess.

Our hand dyed Indian Cotton fitteds are super adjustable and easy to use. We suggest using a snappi, pins of course work well. Some people use them inside out as well.

My diapers come in 2 sizes: Size 1 (fits from 7-15 lbs) and Size 2 (fits from 15-30 lbs). Our sizing is approximate. We have found that some 18 month old children can get a better fit with the smaller size, while some 12 month old babies do better in a larger size that has been folded down once.
