  1. I’ve just started using CSP during my first period in 2 years (pregnancy and breastfeeding). Would love to try out some different types.

  2. I’ve not got much experience of cloth pads (due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, then pregnant again!) but once my periods return I’d love to make the switch full time as cloth pads seem so comfortable and so much better to have against your skin than disposables.

  3. I hate the feel and smell of disposables, and they are so disastrous for the environment, so I am hoping to make the switch to reusables. Hopefully it will be a good example for my daughter for when the time comes for her too!

  4. I haven’t tried reusable pads yet, but my daughter is in full time cloth nappies and I use a reusable menstrual cup during my periods, so cloth pads would be a very welcome (and less wasteful) addition.

  5. I’m due my first baby in Feb and have been thinking about converting to csp for a while. I’ve stashed up on post partum pads but I’m entering the 30+ weeks poor pelvic floor stage so something to deal with that would be great to avoid a moment in Pilates! 🙂

  6. I love my cloth pads because I don’t need to buy myself pads each month, I’m saving money and there’s less waste going to landfill.

  7. Looking for options for my daughters when the time comes, I use a moon cup but not sure they will be ready for this at first so think reusable pads could be a great alternative.

  8. Would love these for my oldest daughter I’m looking for options for her when her periods arrive. I use a mooncup but not sure she will be ready for this at first and cloth seems a fab alternative. Then she can tell her three sisters all about cloth when their turns come!

  10. I love using csp as I find them far more comfortable than disposables with the added bonus of less waste going to landfill.

  11. Spiffing marvellous things these reusable thingamabobs. Top notch on the jolly old environment, and comfy on my whatnot. Especially marvellous at catching the odd little mishap, such as when one sneezes at the village fete and risks causing a tidal wave at the duck race.

  12. Csp is so much more comfortable and reliable tgan disposables and saving 30-40 pads each month from landfill is s plus!

  13. I’ve been using cloth nappies on my daughter for six months now, and although I’m still breastfeeding my periods have just returned with a vengeance so I’d like to use cloth pads myself too! I was a mooncup user pre-baby but not quite as confident using it after such a long break. I don’t want to have to use disposable pads!

  14. I’m 37 weeks pregnant at the moment and my Doula has recommended I switch to cloth reusable pads, especially for straight after giving birth!

    Being pregnant has put me back in a wheelchair and I’m now temporarily bed bound because of my physical disabilities, I also have Aspergers Syndrome (a form of autism) which comes with sensory problems. I can’t stand disposable products because of the feel and smell of them and being in my chair or stuck in bed all the time, the disposable products get very uncomfortable!!

    I have to admit, I’m a bit of a eco-warrior and love to recycle whatever possible (including rain water for the toilets) so using reusuable sanitary products is something I’m definitely keen to try!

  15. I would love to win as I have been thinking about trying reusables for a while now. We have loved using cloth nappies so much this year with our first baby that I know cloth pads will be so much better than disposables. Fingers crossed!

  20. I’ve just started using CSP 4 weeks ago as I figured it makes sense alongside the birth of my daughter, who is straight into tots bots cloth nappies. I love the comfort and the reduction in waste, and would love to try out Bloom and Nora pads as I’ve only tried some big maxi pads so far!

  21. I really hate the idea of all those pads going to landfill every month. I bought a mooncup and wanted to love it but it was painful so was left a bit downhearted. As a single mum I don’t have a lot of spare money so haven’t invested in cloth pads yet but would love to try them (yes I know they’re cheaper in the long run but at 89p a pack of disposable ones it’s a but of an outlay). These were recommended on a forum I read and look brilliant so I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

  22. I use cloth nappies on my little girl as I don’t like the feel of disposable pads on my skin and I’m sure disposable nappies feel similar!

    However, now I’m blessed with her in my life, I of course feel guilty about spending money on myself, so a kickstart to my own stash would be wonderful!

  23. Using cloth nappies, has made me very aware of hiw many chemicals are in disposables nappies . I then couldn’t look at disposable sanitary towels the same way, 1 cycle in csp and i’m a total convert already!

  27. Cloth pads are much more comfy and natural. Its hard to find something that fits well though, I would always like to try a different type.

  28. I have been wanting to switch to reusable pads for sometime, but have been hesitant due to the fact that I have no washing facilities & use a laundrette. Now it’s time to stop being worried about what others may think & be proud to use a product that benefits both my own health & the environment around me.
