Frugal Mom: Cloth for Mom

I will definitely go back to using them and take some of the bigger ones to the birth center with me when I have my baby.
They are soft, super absorbent, and I no longer get a terrible rash (not mention all sorts of other unmentionable things with disposables -- UGH.)
And in my opinion, cloth smells completely different, much more earthy, not at all fishy like disposables.
I soak mine in cold water for a day, empty, then put them in a dry bucket and wash them with my underwear when I wash laundry once a week (that will change as soon as the baby comes, I know).

I prefer dark colors, which won't show stains like unbleached cotton does.
I like PixieCup, but I haven't tried others. I saw one site on the web for ones you could even wear as a thong!
The only thing I don't like is if I run out and have to use a disposable ---- ICK!!!! I was about to buy more when I got pregnant, so... I'll get some before March.
If you liked the look of these pads, you can find instructions for making your own look-alike ones:
