Want to make a pad tailored to your own needs?
Huzzah, that's fantastic and I hope this thread gives you some practical advice and inspiration!
In this thread, I will post a bunch of links where you can find free patterns for almost limitless shapes and sizes of pads (and our brothers think buying disposable pads in confusing!) and advice on what fabrics and materials to use and how to put them together.
If you know of any other websites that may be of assistance, you have some good advice yourself or want to share your own patterns and/or experiences of making your own menstrual pads, please hit reply and start posting!
If you'd like some face-to-face assistance, drop by my office on the first floor of campus centre (Between the Activist Space and Women’s Room). I’ve done a little bit of sewing myself (though I’m no expert!) and am happy to given you some practical assistance in anything from cutting, piecing and finishing off.
