Quelly Cloth: And Etsy Shop Review
I ordered 2 moderate pads and 1 liner. Cost: I paid (before shipping) $13.80. The cost of the pads ranges from $8.50 for a light pad to $11.50 for a heavy pad. This is pretty reasonable, price wise. Don’t forget, if you go through Ebates on your Etsy purchases, you receive 1% cash back and […]

Each insert would add some additional bulk to the pad but also would add significant protection. I ordered: The sample liner option. Cost: The normal cost for liners starts out at $12.49. Day pads start out […]
How Much Can You Save By Using Reusable Menstrual Products?
Figures below are estimates, your amounts may be a little more or a little less. I’m going to call her Eve because I don’t like not naming things or people, even hypothetical ones. On average, a young woman can expect to start her period around age 12. Let’s say she enters menopause at age 52. […]
