Just wait till you try them... I was a skeptic at first, but from the moment I put it on it was heaven. :) They are sooo soft, not like the crunchy paper/plastic ones. I have a Diva Cup as well. Initially I had planned on using the Diva Cup, and cloth pads as back-up. But I found the Diva cup to be a bit of a nuisance, and I really liked just using the pads, so I made a few more, and stuck to those. I have a couple of posts on my blog about the ones I've made, if you want to see pictures. http://onpurposeliving.blogspot.com/search/label/Cloth%20Pads I also think the Goods for Girls is a great idea. I thought about doing it before but never got around to it...maybe it's time I gave it some more thought. Thanks! Alissa Yaay for you!

I tried the diva cup, but couldn't really figure it out. I'm sure I'd get the hang of it eventually... But I'm afraid it'll be awhile as I am expecting and it took 15 mos post partum to need it last time! ps. I tried the diva cup, but couldn’t really figure it out.

I didn't make my own, but I have a backlog of sewing projects, so I just went to someone else!
