please tell me about momma cloth

Hi guys,

 

We've been CD LO for 3 months now (since birth) and have seem momma cloth mentioned on a lot of CD boards.

When I first heard of it I thought "absolutely not", similarly to how I thought of CD the first time my SIL mentioned it.  But again, similarly to CD, the more I think of it, the more curious I get.  Now both DH and I love CD, and I have developed an unhealthy (for our bank account) addiction to cute fluff.

So please, tell me about momma cloth.  Any recommended vendors (I'm not handy enough to make my own)?  Is it possible with a very heavy period?  How do you manage when out of the house?  Do you carry a wet bag similar to with CD (that wouldn't really be possible at work)?  Do you have enough supplies for the course of your period, or do you have to wash them each day?  Do you machine wash (doesn't seem like it would make up a load or do you put them in with other items)?

 Any other comments would be welcomed.  I have so many questions.

Thanks,

J

I also didn't know mama cloth or cups existed before I happened upon a blog about cloth diapers and did a lot more reading. I really like the cup even though it took me three cycles to master it. Just this earth day weekend I ordered some pink daisy mama

I think I am on the other end.  I found cloth pads way before DS ever came along and I loved it so much that is when I decided to CD any LOs we would have

For my heavy days I use a menstrual cup.  I use the Diva Cup but there are ton

Similar to a PP - I generally just use one per day, though I have a fairly light flow. I just throw them in a mesh laundry bag and when my cycle is over, I throw them in with my next load of laundry. I haven't had any issues with smell. If I'm out and I n

Thanks everyone.  I think I`m going to give it a shot this month, but being the chicken I am, I`m only going to get a couple and start on days I just plan on being around the house.

 I'm kinda excited though, and really appreciate the a
