I will be doing a review on the Lunapads and the Lunapanties shortly. My first reaction when I opened the parcel? "Oh, they are so pretty!" :-) @Karen – thanks for providing your input to these great products. I will be doing a review on the Lunapads and the Lunapanties shortly.

But between Lunapads' heavy pads (maybe with some extra liners) and lunablanket the changing the sheets shouldn't be an issue, and the moon bag makes them easy to carry for me. Definitely worth it extras. (No connection to the company except using and loving them... instead of being mad at my period's uncomfortable side and inconvenience it's a chance to wear something pretty!)

I used cloth diapers with flannel inserts for the kids....I think they potty trained easier - didn't like feeling wet Kind of the same feeling with the cloth pads, but many of my friends used them faithfully and were not concerned about how much more work they were. FYI Eliza,

How many times do we run out of tampons or pads at critical moments? I will be reviewing the cloth menstrual pads soon. I am curious to see how well they work. @Patricia – yes, it’s so nice knowing it just sits there in the cupboard as well. How many times do we run out of tampons or pads at critical moments?

It sounds definitely more awkward than this newer version. I want to share this with my girls...and wow the price of sanitary supplies was so much more reasonable in the UK... Great post and sharing Thank you I used an earlier version in my college years and loved it for the savings alone. It sounds definitely more awkward than this newer version.
