alright ladies! it's that time of the month, and while i hate the excuse of PMS, that might give a reason for extra sensitivity, extra sweet craving, more tea drinking lately. but this month has been particularly different for me, because of success with my natural response to the natural flow of things!
i've been using the keeper for almost a year, and finally figured out how to use it well. this fall i made my own pantyliners, so the mix has been nearly delightful! nearly. still ranking highest in emotion is thankfulness that i am not pregnant for another month!
i chose the dark flannel fabric intentionally; feminine, but won't easily stain. i used a little recycled windbreaker for the water-resistant liner, the flannel i used for the liners was used for our home birth with claire, which has a nice little full circle of femininity to it.
i love the softness of cotton around me but not inside me, sapping me of any extra moisture! i love not throwing away the extra garbage every month!

These are so lovely, and I think that using the fabric from Claire's birth is so meaningful. Things like this from you help me to reshape my attitude toward some... less fun parts of life. Super sweet. Thanks for being my go-to person for questions about these things!
Cute!
Diego found an old tampon today...(What's this?!)...and it made me SO GLAD that I am D-O-N-E with them. Man...so sick of it.
You should start an etsy shop and sell these! They are so cute.
thanks ladies! that's funny. i have so many memories of sneaking into my mom's bathroom and dropping tampons in the toilet, watching them explode and wondering what in the world these were for!
ab - great idea....now if i only had the time! i have such a huge list of sewing projects, maybe THEN i will start making things to sell! glad to hear you think they might be worth it :)
