Trim/thin mama cloth recs please :)

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 
I've decided to give mama cloth a try, mostly as back-up for my Diva Cup on heavier days and overnight. I rarely have leaks, but I've had a few that make me feel like back-up is smart.

I did buy some Talulah Bean pads, and while they are soooo soft, they are pretty bulky. I'm looking for something that would be trimmer/thinner, and not as noticeable when worn. What brands would be good for that? Cotton would probably be better than minky, right?

I would like to buy some liners, which are probably all thin, but would also like a few regular pads for medium flow that I can use overnight. A liner probably wouldn't work if I had a leak overnight.

Thanks very much!!!

I would look into Zorb as the inner material as it's more absorbent and so you'll need fewer layers of it. I've also heard that minky fabric is more bulky, but the up side is that it doesn't stain (or so I hear). Maybe keep your current pads for overnight use and get some thinner liners for daytime?

I'm a fan of Homestead Emporium and I have their pantywraps for divacup backup and the light wrap pads for beginning/end days. They're OBV which is soft but not bulky IMO (will be able to compare to minky when I get some of those, hopefully this week!) and she also has flannel and this athletic stay-dry type fabric.

Nice to see some recs. I'm with you on wanting some cloth for back up on heavy days with my diva cup. Just have some worries over care for them etc. and soaking right through. I only usually have leakage on the 1st full day and sometimes the 2nd but usually just one day. I typically use the same pad all day since I don't leak on other days of AF but it gets so itchy.
