Frequently Asked Questions If you don’t find the answer to your specific questions here, please feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to answer them directly. Q: Are cloth menstrual pads hard to care for? A: Not at all. Just toss them in with your regular laundry. They don’t need to be washed separately and there’s no need to presoak unless you want to. Q: Do I need to wash the pads before their first use and, if so, how many times do they have to be washed before they can be used. A: Yes, pads need to be washed prior to their first use to remove any fabric sizing and maximize their absorbency. One washing should be fine and then they’re good to go. Q: Will regular laundering get them clean? A: Absolutely. Q: Should pads be washed in hot or cold water? A: Hot water can set stains so I recommend cold water washing for cloth pads. They get just as clean when washed in cold as they do in hot...plus is saves energy and money. Q; I’ve been told not to use fabric softener on menstrual pads. Why is that? A: Fabric softener coats fabric and decreases the absorbency factor so it’s not recommended for items such as menstrual pads and cloth diapers. Q: I inadvertently used fabric softener on my pads and now they’re not as absorbent as before. Is there anything I can do to fix this? A: If they've been exposed to fabric softener and it effects their absorbency you can "strip" them. Just wash them a couple of times in hot soapy water without drying them in between. This should take care of the problem. It's just a matter of washing the softener completely clear of the fabric. Q: Is there any way to extra sanitize the pads if I’ve forgotten them and left them in the soaking pot too long? A: All styles of New Moon Pads can be boiled for a short period of time to completely sanitize them. I wouldn’t recommend doing it unless absolutely necessary because it can fade the fabrics but it won’t change the function of them at all. Remember, only 30 seconds to a minute is all that’s really needed. Q: If extra sanitizing, do you recommend putting anything in the water? A: Plain water works fine but you can also use a little bit of baking soda to alleviate any residual odor. Q: Is there much of an odor when using cloth pads? A: Not at all. You’ll find cloth pads actually have less odor than disposable pads. The chemicals and dioxins used in disposables take on an unpleasant odor when used that even the perfumed disposables can’t cover. You don’t get this problem when using cloth pads. Q: Comfort is really important to me. How comfortable are cloth pads compared to disposables? A: Cloth pads vs disposables is kind of like comparing soft flannel jammies with those awful scratchy paper gowns that doctors offices use. I don’t know about you but I’ll take the soft flannel every time. New Moon Pads are so soft and comfortable you’ll hardly even know you’re wearing them. Q: What about bulk? Are cloth pads a lot bulkier than disposable pads? A: Some brands can be but not the New Moon brand. I’ve designed them to be highly absorbent while exceptionally trim so they’re actually less bulky than disposable pads and most cloth pads on the market today. Q: What stops your pads from leaking through? A: Many cloth pad makers use PUL (polyurethane laminate) as their leak barrier. I won’t. It’s a chemically coated fabric that doesn’t breath and isn’t healthy. I use only breathable fleece made by Malden Mills as the leak barrier in my pads. The same type of fleece used in high end sports wear. Q: What about leaks? A: High absorbency double brushed flannel comprises the inner absorbency layering of my pads. You’ll find they’re as absorbent, if not more absorbent, than disposables and the fleece backing is a breathable leak-proof layering that keeps moisture locked in the pad. Q: I hate the clammy feel of disposable pads. Do cloth pads feel the same way? A: No. The cloth absorbs the moisture down into the fabric layering and keeps you feeling dry and comfortable. Plus flannel and fleece (the main fabrics I use) are both breathable fabrics that keep you cool and comfortable without the sweaty, clammy feeling. New to cloth pads? If you’ve never used cloth and are hesitant about making the choice to do so, chat with me. I’m happy to answer any questions you may have. My goal is to make mama/maiden cloth as easy, economical and, yes, FUN as possible. A greener earth, a lighter footprint, all with health and financial benefits with which disposables can’t compete. Cloth is just so much easier, more comfortable, affordable and better for your health. So please feel free to ask me anything. Even if my products aren’t what you’re looking for I’d be happy to help you find exactly what’s best for you. Make the switch...you’ll be happy you did.
