Fairy hammocks!

[rideyourbike]

Has anyone used wall to wall fairy hammocks? I'm thinking of buying some but just wondered what peoples experiences were. I have been using home made reusable pads but have decided it's time for a bit of luxury . Thanks.

What is a fairy hammock?

[OwlCapone]

A washable sanitary towel.

And not a hammock for an ethereal being.

I don't know about that make but, I use Charlie banana reusable cloth pads from 'earth wise girls ' online site.
I also use a mooncup.

Yeah, it's the wall to wall fairy hammocks I'm particularly after, looking for some serious absorbency. I have a mooncup, don't get on with it very well, it leaks as it seems I'm a bit stretched after having 2 children, prefer towels anyway. Might buy a couple and see how they are, not cheap though. I've been using old reusable nappy inserts folded over, very absorbant and wash and dry easily, don't look too good!

Do check 'precious pads' out on youtube

I think calling them 'fairy hammocks' is the insanest thing I've ever heard.

'Giant blood and guts holder' would be more descriptive

When I was into such things (CBA recently) I had a few of these. They weren't my fav washable sanpro but they were alright. I found the minkee topped ones to be horrible though. Really sweaty and uncomfortable. The cotton topped ones were better but they did tend to hold on to stains.

My favourite were bamboo topped ones by... Homestead Emporium? The name was something like that anyway.

I started using them (not fairy hammocks - different brand but can't remember what sorry) because I was sick of the irritation of using disposable pads and I've never got on with tampons. I also use a mooncup which is good but I don't like to use it all the time.

I just stick them in the nappy bucket and wash them with the cloth nappies so it's no extra work at all.

I both do, and do not, want to understand what "wall to wall" refers to.

Ha ha wall to wall means very long, maybe 14 inches!!
