Are cloth pads easy to use?
Yes!! So easy. There is zero learning curve when it comes to using and changing them 👌 There's no awkward pants-down shuffle to the sink to rinse a cup or having to strip down to the n**e in a public toilet to be able to change your period underwear. You can change them absolutely whenever you need/want to and its because of the KAM snaps on the wings. The snaps click together and they're pretty strong at staying together. So you can rest assured that nothing will shift, move or become undone when you wear them.
If you're conscious of the noise (you shouldn't have to be btw but I do get that the rustle of disposables can be loud), there is only the one time "click" to put them together or pull them apart.

My top tip for wearing 🔥 - use them with firm fitting un**es. The closer they stay next to your body the better you'll feel 😊

This is the menstrual cycle. Instead of showing lines of hormones in a linear graph form, it'll make much more sense to show it this way. The two main events in a cycle are ovulation ✨ - the release of an egg and menstruation 🩸 - the release of the "nest". The follicular and luteal are the liminal spaces that work up to these events.

Cycle tracking is essentially being able to track and know where you are in your cycle. Our needs and desires shift and change within the cycle, and so tracking can also give you the best way to utilise those phases. There are many ways to track your cycle, my favourite way is being able to sense the distinct shifts in energy within myself.

Day one always starts at your bleed because it's a tangible physical marker that is hard to miss 🩸. After the bleed, the follicular phase - the phase of growth 🌱 - starts to prime your chosen egg/s for release at ovulation. We always feel at our absolute best when ovulating, everything feels amazing, we can give so much ✨

But did you know that your egg is fertile for only 24hrs? After those precious 24hrs, the drop starts. And as the drop continues the body then begins the process for the bleed to begin again.

Lots of people who menstruate find that the luteal phase is the hardest to get through, myself included. The luteal is a phase of clarity and this is where the prioritising of self care, self love, kindness to self are at the most important - It softens the landing from the drop. Being able to mentally note when you are in the luteal gives you the ability to feel more grounded, and you'll feel more prepared to know when and where to pull back rather than be completely blindsided and wiped out.

Being informed of your cycle, is truly insanely empowering. No-one has ever benefitted from learning less about their body. And having a period, is such an integral part of it all. The release of what no longer serves you, the ability to truly rest, and to dream 🩸✨. It's where the introspection and intuition are at its highest, and it can be a beautiful place to be 💕

After spending all of my money on Xmas gifts I am now dying to create ✨ I will be working on a restock of 10" moderates very soon! I've just picked out 3 of my super popular shapes - the Goldilocks 🐻, lips of an angel 💋 and the flutter 🦋

If you're at the very start of your cloth pad journey, or you want to bulk out the stash, this restock will be for you ❣️ it'll be ready in about 2 weeks!

One of the hardest things to admit to yourself, is the need to slow down and rest. To sit with the feelings and acknowledge them. We've been programmed to push through the difficulties, don't let your emotions rule you. In society, productivity is highly valued and tied to your self worth.

Rest is absolutely vital to our being, especially when living in alignment with your menstrual cycle. At the very end of the luteal phase, all of the vital growth hormones have plummeted to zero. It's biology, it's factual. So it makes complete sense that we are hard wired to slow down, rest and dive deep with our feelings and thoughts. If we do push through, we are at serious risk of crashing and burning out.

Rest is the precursor to growth. When we rest, we can dream. And in the Dreamtime, absolutely anything is possible. We can create and conceive a plan without the limitations of reality. When we rest, we are given an opportunity to sit and slowly work through our feelings and thoughts, and then let the negative ones go.

Let this be your sign to slow down, rest and dream. When you rest, you are evolving 🦋✨

The reason why I make cloth pads like this:

Periods in general have a poor reputation, and period stigma is so sneaky and ingrained that when I mentioned the word "cloth pads" in a public space it's usually met with shock, silence or disgust. For those that are more open-minded, it's met with curiosity. Why am I bothering to make them this way?

I am completely anti-stigma, anti-taboo when it comes to periods. So in protest to this I intentionally make reusable pads that are actually nice to look at. AND I make them in a large range of lengths, shapes to suit anyone who bleeds.

Most period products on the market are black or white - and they subliminally give the message that periods should be hidden - or that the white period product is "pure" and that needs to be thrown away when blood is on it. Most period products, will come in a one-size fits all - and if that coverage doesn't suit you then that says it's your fault, not theirs.

Periods are a completely natural, state of being. They impact absolutely everyone, indirectly or not. And by making these cloth pads, with thought and intention behind them, I am enforcing the belief that having a period is normal and your experience of them is absolutely valid. They are not to be hidden, and certainly not thrown away.

With Dig the Flow you have the choice of control over the way you can experience your period - my pads are different altogether because they are all one of a kind, and made just for you. If you like pink, mushrooms, the cosmos - I will make you a pad that you will actually love and will want to wear - and in turn that will make you see periods differently. I really whole-heartedly believe that my cloth pads will make a positive difference for you.

Every single part of my business is intentional. Right down to the smallest detail in my logo ✨
Dig the Flow is a brand that puts magic back into your period. Through making cloth pads that actually work well, accommodate any kind of flow, any kind of body AND aesthetic, they can transform your experience of what a period can be.

Before cloth pads I had ZERO cycle awareness. Absolutely nothing. We were taught the menstrual cycle in a single science class. Even in university, through an entire biochemistry and microbiology degree (Yes I am super smart 💅🏽) and anatomy lecture, the subject was glossed over. There was no real conversation around how the menstrual cycle affects your energy levels, your way of being, or even alternative products outside of disposables. The lack of conversation in public certainly didn't help either.

I discovered cloth pads from a Facebook group back in 2017 when I was 24 years old with my first baby. It actually made me a bit angry that I was completely unaware that an alternative even existed.

Can you imagine what life would be like if you had the opportunity for a different experience? What would you say to your inner child? That periods will always suck and are absolutely miserable? Or that periods can actually be positive/not so bad? 🤔 The choice is always up to you.

Protect your energy 🔥

If you're feeling premenstrual like I currently am, self protection is vital. The late luteal phase teaches you to lean hard into what your body is actually telling you, and set boundaries. Acknowledge the need to rest and create the space to just be ✨ You can say no to things and take whatever you need to fill your emptying cup. While you're feeling all sorts of ways you can channel that energy into being indulgent, to create, to advocate or ruthlessly cull what no longer serves you.

Through recognising that our needs and wants will change throughout our cycle, the easier it'll get to predict and not be blindsided by that sharp drop in hormones. You might find that you welcome the shift in energy to be more open and receptive with yourself and deep dive in the liminal space before the bleed 🩸

No words needed. Just me, my bathroom and a heart shaped piece of softshell 💁🏽‍♀️

Softshell is what I use in every single cloth pad. It can come in different colours, but the qualities of the fabric are the exact same - grippy and water repellent 💦

So to answer the question, "will I leak through my cloth pad?" I can confidently tell you, absolutely not ✨

My thought for the day; If we treated period stigma as a business, would you still shop and spend your money? Why?
Period stigma is the act of creating shame and embarrassment over a period - if we are systematically taught to hide something that could happen every single month for around 40 years, how is this benefitting us?

Answer: It doesn't.
It affects your health - endo takes 7!!!!!! years to diagnose, amongst many other issues
Your wealth - $$$ on period products = period poverty
The planet - promotes throwaway culture to sit in landfill for 400+ years

What if society just treated it as the normal, natural thing that it is? If we could ask the question, "hey how was your last period?" To be just as natural as "hey how are you?" - how different would the world be? And how much sooner would you be able to get the help you need when your period is a flag for something far more serious?

Oh ma gah the dopamine hit from this pad set is unreal 🤩 the colours, the textures, ahhhhh! this is exactly why I love making cloth pads - they can be absolutely beautiful pieces for you to treasure for years. I had the pleasure of working on this custom for a return customer 💕 thank you so much for your incredible support Natalia! 🥰 I hope you love what I've made just for you ✨

Making cloth pads is actually a very specialised skill. There are so many techniques when it comes to constructing these, and so many steps to go through. I was very fortunate to receive two customs last week so I was able to make both orders at the same time - this is my entire process of making a pad from start to finish. Hours of work condensed into 3 minutes 🔥

This is what real handmade looks like - nothing is imported or outsourced. It's 100% my own hands, fabric that I've specifically chosen, and a few special tools ✨ and it's all self taught. I learned through tons of research, lots and lots of practice, testing and troubleshooting👌🏽. My work has connected with so many others, and will continue to for years and years 💕

And also, my back did hurt a little after this 😂 I need one of those posture strap thingies and a higher cutting table 😭
