Going Green with Code Red

Women contribute on average 40 years worth of waste in the form of pads and tampons so it is advisable and becoming the new fad to make reusable pads which will reduce your carbon footprint. Instead of tossing your soiled pads into the trash to be delivered to the landfill, toss your soiled rags into the hamper and cycle them through the wash.

I followed this pattern:

This is what you’ll need:
Flannel (I went to JoAnn fabrics the other day and had fun browsing the different flannel patterns.)
Face cloth
Sewing machine/ needle and thread
Snap/felcro/button



It’s a way to recycle during your cycle. 

So ladies it is time that you try making a homemade pad for yourself. It is a way of going green during your days of red.
