MontanaSolarCreations Handmade Reusable Cloth Pads
In our Etsy shop, we sell a variety of eco-friendly creations ranging from cloth napkins to unpaper towels, wood toys, cloth wipes and much more. Over the last year, we expanded the cloth pads we sell in our Etsy shop. We currently have 62 different listings for cloth pads! We have panty liners, thick/absorbent cloth pads, cloth pad starter sets and in the works are large overnight size pads. There are a wide variety of prints to choose from: owls, flowers, birds, tie dye, bikes, peace signs, and paisleys to name a few. You can see all the styles, prints and sets we have available here in our shop.
Why use Reusable Cloth Feminine Pads?
- Made of 100% cotton so better for you
- Washable and reusable instead of disposable so better for the environment
- Save money long term by not having to continually buy disposable products
- Much more comfortable than a disposable pad
- Fun prints are much better than boring white disposable pads!
- “These are the best etsy panty liners I’ve purchased yet! They are a bit bigger than other liners I’ve bought, but when I wear them, I feel them *less*! In fact, I don’t feel them at all, where some others I could feel as I walked, or they would pinch a bit, etc. These are soft, absorbent, and so comfortable. Not to mention the prints are so cute!”
- “These are great. Light yet absorbent and cute to boot. Thank you!”
- “Received my order yesterday, everything looks great! Stitching is well done, snaps all work. I’m excited to try these out. Thank you!”
- “Beautiful and artful. Great quality. Sturdy. I will feel secure wearing my new moon pads!”
- “These were made and shipped very fast. They are super cute and soft. They are sewn very well and I think they will be very absorbent too. Thanks so much!”
- “Fantastic! This is my second set and I plan on buying more in the near future!”
The giveaway set:
This giveaway is for one thick, absorbent pad and three panty liners. These pads retail for a total of $28 in our Etsy shop.
Just like cloth diapers, I have become addicted to cloth pads!!
I was just standing in the grocery store today, and even looking @ the clearance cart, I was thinking as I eyed up some Kotex pads — “Wow! I really feel good about using cloth pads!” It has been about 5 months now since I made a 100% switch (save for swimming) and I couldn’t be more comfortable or happy! Cloth pads rock-I just look at my tiny stash and think: “Right on, mama!”
Thanks for the giveaway, Annie!
I’ve wanted to try these for a long time!
I just bought my first cloth pad and I am hooked. Never again will I buy regular pads.

I want to get some cloth pads to use due to my ‘mom bladder’, which doesnt seem to go away no matter how many kegels I do!! I hate having to use thick pads to protect against leaks, and always feel like I’m making crunching noises as I move around, especially when I go running!

I like cloth better than disposable, but I like my cup better than cloth. I want to win b/c I’m pregnant and can’t use my cup after the baby is born
I use cloth pads on my heavy days as an insurance policy for my pants. I love how non-drying they are.
I have never tried them before but would love to. I hate filling up the landfill with the disposable pads and if I like them and they work great it would save me money.

Thanks for sharing this giveaway.
I would love to use cloth pads, and this will give me a chance to try. Sposies make me itch ever since I’ve had my son.
I’m making the switch when my period comes back after the birth of my baby. It has been 5 months, and while I wouldn’t say I’m looking forward to it, reusable pads will make it more tolerable!
I love that cloth pads are tons more comfortable then plastic disposable pads.
I have actually never tried cloth pads, but I am going to cloth diaper my son once he is born, and make the switch with my toddler. So I just thought cloth pads make sense and I’ve heard they are a lot more comfortable!
