What Fabrics are used in your CSP
So here's all about my range of cloth sanitary pads. I normally make fleece backed or windpro fleece backed pads, which are made with a fleece backing and no waterproof layer. The fleece repels any liquid back into the core, whilst allowing the pad to be breathe, also the fleece stops any slippage and movement of the pad. The cores are made up of bamboo fleece, either: zorb, zorb 11, or zorb 3d and hemp depending on the level of absorbancy needed, i have tested these cores and the combinations of fabrics to provide a thirsty core that absorbs quickly whilst keeping the pads as slim and discreet as possible. The combination of fabric used within the cores will be clearly listed as well as the level of absorbancy. An extra layer of pul can be added if a waterproof layer is needed, and is only available when bought in custom slots. They have a popper to secure the pad around your knickers. They come in different sizes ranging from pad length from 7"- 13" pads and with different absorbancy levels of: lights, moderate/regular, Heavy and nights and post partum. The fabrics i use most on the topper of csp are cotton, Minky, organic cotton jersey, these will be clearly stated in the listing what these are
How do i wash my CSP
You can dry pail for no longer than 3 days. Then pop in the washing machine on a cold rinse, as a hot wash wash can set staining in as blood will set in with heat. Then a 40 degree wash will be fine afterwards. Please do not use fabric softners whilst washing your pads as this can reduce the absorbancy of the fabrics used. If your pad is made with PUL please air dry only and do NOT tumble dry them as it will delaminate the PUL and they will not have the waterproof quality. It is best to air dry fleece backed pads as due to the nature of the bamboo fleece and zorb they can have a small amount of shrinkage. I do however prewash all my fabrics used to help prevent as much shrinkage as possible, these also means your pads are ready to use once you have received them. Your pads may take a few washes however to become up to their full absorbancy.
How do i wash my nappies
What types of nappies do you offer
How will my parcel be packaged
I try and be as eco as possible with packaging your orders. If your item can fit into a large letter box these will be packaged within a cardboard box, with acid free recycled tissue paper (which is white, i apologise for the boring colour). It is then taped with a 100% recycled plastic tape to close the box (until i can find a reliable decent paper verison). If your order is larger i use recycled plastic polymailers, instead of the cardboard box. I will try and fit as much as i can in these boxes as i much prefer to use these. I also encourage you to either recycle or reuse any of my packaging.
How long will take for my order to be shipped?
What are the sizes of your clothing like?
I test all the patterns i use to make clothing. Unless stated otherwise in the description of the item or above the age of 3 years then all my clothing is cut to allow cloth nappy room. If you need an item adjusting for any reason, please contact me and i will see what i can do for you
Do i accept returns?
