Do you have any recommendations for washing them? I use cloth diapers with my baby and know that they have their own special washing instructions, and with blood I figure I can't just throw them in the wash with everything else! :) Thank you!

They were definitely cheaper than buying from some of the commercial companies. I want to experiment with the pads (never tried them before), but don't have time to make my own at this point. Maybe someday though. =) I have heard that using alternative menstrual products helps some with cramps, etc. and I hope it will help me.

That had a nice grip to it. I could see if you used, say, t-shirt fabric that it might move around. Say, what a better use for old t-shirts than just giving them to Goodwill or cutting them up for dusters, eh? I hadn't thought of it before.

If you use something smoother, like cotton, it will slide around. It helps to use more like a fleece or flannel as the bottom layer. And I don't think you did a bad job- I'm sure there are just ways to make them slide less! Maybe someone else has a suggestion for you!
