11.5” Heavy Reusable Gusher Pad | Raw Pinked Edge | Postpartum Flow | Sanitary Towel | Cloth Maxi Pad
$17.05
Ditch disposables and switch to a more comfortable, eco friendly option for your monthly visitor. My handmade washable reusable sanitary towels are designed to be reliable, long lasting, and kind to sensitive skin.
This listing is for one 11.5 inch heavy absorbency cloth pad with pinked edging.
This is a ready to ship, one of a kind item made from fabric that is no longer available, so once it has sold, it is gone for good.
Made in my gusher style, this pad is perfect for heavier flow days, helping to quickly wick moisture into the core where it is needed most.
The listing price is for one premium pad. With proper care, it will last for years, saving you money while reducing waste.
**** PAD DETAILS ****
11.5 inch length
Heavy absorbency
Pinked edge finish
Gusher style (gusset slits for improved wicking)
**** PINKED EDGE & GUSHER STYLE INFORMATION ****
This pad features a pinked edge finish rather than being turned and top stitched. This keeps the edges flatter and reduces bulk, making it more comfortable to wear.
Because of this, the edges will naturally fray slightly over time with washing. This is completely normal and expected for this style and does not affect performance.
The gusset slits, designed to handle fast flow, will also fray with washing. This actually helps increase absorbency over time.
The soft fraying of both the edges and gusset is part of the design and adds character while maintaining full function.
**** CARE INSTRUCTIONS ****
After use, pads can be dry stored in a wet bag or bucket until ready to wash, or rinsed in cold water and stored until wash day.
Machine wash or hand wash at 40 degrees
Do not use fabric conditioner or softener
Can be tumble dried on low or line dried

Frequently Asked Questions
What topper should I choose?
Topper fabrics are all down to personal preference here is a few pros and cons of each:
COTTON
PROS= lightweight, cool,breathable, natural fibre, loads of fabric choices
CONS= tends to stain over time,some people find they feel a bit wet
JERSEY(cotton/Lycra)
PROS= cool,breathable, soft and comfortable
CONS= tends to stain easy
FLANNEL
PROS=natural fibres,breathable,absorbent, soft and comfortable

MINKY
PROS= super soft and cozy,stain resistant
CONS= some find it to be a bit warm
SUEDE CLOTH
PROS= soft, stain resistant,stay dry feel
CONS= pad tends to be a bit stiffer
What length should I chose?
If you are new to cloth and are unsure what length you might need I would recommend measuring you current favourite disposable. And chose that length.If you tend to bleed over the length of the back or front of your current disposable I would suggest adding a few inches to that length and chose that length.
Which way do I wear my cloth pads?
Which way your pads are worn depends on the pad chosen,on my pads you will find an embroidered letter on the wing on the side that goes towards you this tells you the absorbency and will also help you determine which way to wear them:
L-Light
H-Heavy
S-Super
R- Regular
A snug fitting pair of underwear is very important to wear with cloth pads as they will help keep your pad securely in place and prevent your pad shifting.
Although I wash all fabrics before making your products it’s a good idea to wash your pads before.
Care instructions
You can either dry store your pads after they are soiled until they are ready to wash or pre rinse if you will be washing them soon. If you pre rinse, it is best to wash them soon as possible after because otherwise they will start to smell musty. If your pads are pre-rinsed or lightly soiled, you can simply put them in with the rest of your wash but DO NOT use fabric conditioner/softener
If you prefer to wash your pads separately, simply put your pads in the washer with your detergent on a 40-degree or less cycle.You can pre-soak your pads in an oxi based cleaner for 30 minutes before your regular wash to remove stains and odors if needed. You can also hand wash your pads if that is your preference.
Can I dry my pads in a tumble dryer?
Line drying is always preferred but yes you can. Please use a lower heat setting as high heat can warp your snaps and deteriorate your leak proof layer. Please also be aware that drying in the dryer can reduce the lifespan of your cloth pads.
Do you have any other care tips?
Here’s a few more tips!
• Never use chlorine bleach. It weakens the fibers, fades the colour and may ruin your pads.
• Never wash unrinsed pads in hot water, it may set the iron from your blood, making a permanent stain.
• Do NOT use fabric conditioner/softener It will make the fabric less absorbent and can lead to leaks
• If you have stains,try using a little hydrogen peroxide on the stain this will usually remove it.
• A FEW drops of tea tree oil in the wash water can help disinfect and deodorize your pads.
• If your pads develop a musty smell from sitting in an enclosed space (like the bottom of your handbag if you forget them for a few days) a bit of white of vinegar or oxi in the wash water can help remove the odor.
