Hi Autumn,
So sorry for your loss, my sister recently lost her 4th baby too, at 20 weeks. Devastating for us all.

Like many pp, I too switched to the Diva Cup and stay there – it just feels so hygienic!

Many women use them with a cloth pad for leaks as they learn how to best fit it.

I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for writing this post. It never occurred to me to think about menstrual pads as being unsafe.

I too have made the switch to cloth pads. I didn’t know if I would like them or not, but thought, hey if I’m doing the cloth diaper thing, what is the difference? And I really like them. I was constantly getting UTI’s or feeling like one was coming on every period and now nothing. However, I have not had my period in a while either due to nursing!

Here is a WAHM who makes awesome mamma cloth.I have a Diva cup and her pads. I use both. She sells both too. She makes awesome wet bags too. Her things are of the best quality and affordable too.

I’d recommend Just Fussy’s Moonbow cloth pads http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5130820

Made out of bamboo velour and wool. Beautifully made compared to the dozens of brands I’ve tried – these are the ones that truly feel like they’re ‘not there’.

Pretty decently priced too, considering the sewing skill, great design, trimness and organic materials.

Hi Autumn. I know I’ve been at this blog before, but I just ‘rediscovered’ it when you posted some help for a fellow blogger over at DS.

Are you feeling OK today? It’s so awesome to know that you can rely on God for the comfort and healing you need.

As far as great WAHM’s that make menstrual pads, I have a few favorites.

First, with the most beautiful and comfortable pads EVER, is Homemade Mama http://homemademama.com

Second, with more affordable pads, also very comfy, is Punky’s Pads http://punkyspads.com

I’m also looking into buying a menstrual cup, probably the Lunette. I’ve heard that the Diva isn’t the best for everyone, and thought I’d try one that pretty much everyone loves. I found a LIve Journal community all about menstrual cups, and there is some very helpful information there, including comparison charts.

I hope you find something that works for you!

Hi Autumn,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I pray that God will comfort you as only He can.
I also haven’t had many cycles due to extended nursing. I think I may look into cloth pads or the Diva cup myself.
Blessings, Candace

I also use the Diva Cup and i love it. Before I discovered it, I had lots of cramping with tampons. Since I have swiched I am pain free and will never go back.
My thought are with you Autumn. I lost my first pregnancy but I am now blessed with my son who is now 3 weeks old.
Keep smiling
