What material is best for padding?
If you’re really into unique prints and patterns on your pads, cotton and flannel are excellent choices! Unfortunately, they’re not very water resistant or capable of keeping your flow from escaping.

How do you disinfect cloth pads?
Cloth pads are often more absorbent than disposable, but should still be changed regularly. Carry a wet bag with you to hold any soiled pads you remove throughout the day.

How do I stop my cloth pads from smelling?
Soaking your cloth pads for more than a few hours can make them mildewy and musty. Same goes for storing your pads in a damp place or sealed in a plastic bag for a long time.

Wool – The natural option for leak-resistance in a pad is wool….. I don’t know much about using this in waterproofing a pad (I have a couple of wool backed pads, but never made any for myself).
Do you have to machine wash wool pads?

What kind of fabric is used for menstrual pad?
Synthetic Fleece – Polyester fleeces (Microfleece, polarfleece, blizzard fleece, “anti-pill fleece”) don’t like to hold moisture, so can make a reasonably effective water-resistant layer on the bottom of the pad, depending on how they are made, as the blood tends to stay in the core rather than seeping through it.
