Dying Mama Pads with Kool Aid?

[Buddhamom]

I know this sounds weird, but I am thinking about dying my cloth pads with kool aid because I am tired of looking at the discoloration. I only want to use a natural dye and I am leaning toward kool aid but have no idea what is in kool aid as I have never purchased it. Does anyone have any other suggestions?????

Unfortunately Kool aid isn't natural, it's food coloring and citric acid. Also, it only effectively dyes silk, wool, and other protein fibers.

There are plant based dyes that, while a little trickier than chemical ones, will work for cotton, etc. Check this out: http://www.dharmatrading.com/html/en...lnav=dyes.html

Thanks for letting me know, like I said I have never looked at it or purchased it and I just know some people dye thir wool with it so I assumed.
