DIY Sanitary Pads
Let's face it. Being a woman can be very expensive and purchasing your monthly sanitary pads is no different. Save some money and save the earth at the same time by learning how to make your own pads. These DIY Sanitary Pads are truly a one yard wonder. Using three different fabrics to make one smart sewing project, this idea is surprisingly comfortable compared to store-bought options. These homemade sanitary pads easily fold up, making them a great way to inconspicuously carry last-minute protection.

the whole idea horrifies me. I would need a plastic bag to keep the used one in to take home. What about the smell ? So sorry but never ever-dreadful idea.

What do you do after you use these? I could never put them in my washing machine. I would throw them away.. I just can't see myself using them! Sorry!!
