But Lunapads, if you're watching

I'd be totally down with that.

Hey everyone, welcome to #SpinaBifida.
So last week's video,
which I believe is the Urinary Tract Infection video.
A commenter had suggested
looking into cloth pads.
To help prevent UTIs.
I shot it down very quickly,
because
from my past experience of looking at cloth pads
they've only really been for menstruation.
And not really for bladder control.
So 1) I want to apologize to that commenter.
Because this video was pretty much inspired by you.
And I want to thank you for your comment.
Because after I read that comment and answered,
I realized it's been a while since I actually
looked into cloth pads.
If you hear excess noise,
everyone in my apartment building decided to make noise as I record today.
So when I googled cloth pads, I found "Lunapads".
They are cloth pads, they have
a small size which is the size of a regular pad.
I will compare it to the size of Poise pads,
which I currently use for bladder control.
Then they have a more moderate and maxi pad.
But the thing that made me look at these pads specifically
was that not only did it say for menstruation
it said that it also works for light to moderate
bladder leakage.
So I decided to purchase the small pad.
And give it a go!
So this is the "Luna Performa" for menstrual and bladder needs.
It's the Mini 8" long.
And in this box comes with one high absorbency
washable pad.
You can machine wash them and dry them.
Or you can wash them by hand.
And first I wanted to say why cloth pads
are actually a better alternative to traditional pads.
And it says it on here as well.
There's no added chemicals or fragrances or adhesives
on cloth pads.
These apparently are more comfortable and breathable.
And they save you a whole lot of money.
I don't know if you know this but
Poise pads run about $14 for like a 60 pack.
And for me personally I usually have to go through 2 of those
packs especially when I do start my period.
So this overall seemed like a better alternative.
So when you open it, it comes with this little pad.
It folds up very nicely.
And it has a button.
So then you pop that button, and this is the pad.
So what you do is, you put it on like a regular pad.
You put it on your underwear and the you take the wings
And secure it with the little button on the back.
And then it's secured nicely.
And what this pad is suppose to do, it has 3 layers.
It says the first layer is patten dried wicking cotton top.
The middle layer is super absorbent microfiber core.
And the bottom layer is leak proof coated cotton base.
So I only bought this one because
I've never used a cloth pad before.
And I was very skeptical beause I primarily use
pads for bladder leakage.
This I just washed right before this video
so it's pretty damp.
Washing it was very easy but I tried this out
all day yesterday.
And it was an experience.
First I think you need to wear a more sturdier underwear
with it.
I was wearing yesterday a
no show type of panty that
won't give you a panty line so it's very thin
and this slid a little bit down.
So I had to readjust that.
But the whole day I could tell on the spots
where I had my bladder leakage,
when I would go to the bathroom,
but when I touched it , it was completely dry.
And that amazed me.
It never really felt uncomfortable the way pads are.
I didn't feel like I was sitting
in anything and
honestly this felt like my underwear.
So that was an adjustment to get use to.
I've been wearing pads since I was in the first grade.
For the first time in a long time, it just felt like I was wearing regular underwear.
So it kinda made me nervous anytime I drank water or did anything.
But it actually worked.
And I really want to purchase more.
They do come in five packs.
And I plan on purchasing that so I can really start to
phase out of wearing pads.
But I liked it, I felt clean the whole day.
Nothing leaked, it wasn't easy to see through my clothes.
I finally felt comfortable.
Now for the pricing, the pricing for these pads
are a little bit expensive.
But I think it is an investment and it is worth it.
For this one pad that was the 8" mini,
it was $15.
I'm not exactly sure how much the maxi pad is.
But for a 5 pack of these minis, that's like
$20 or $25.
But again it's an investment and I think
this is a way healthier alternative
than constantly buying pads.
I hope this video made sense.
If you have anymore questions about the pads,
be sure to leave them in the comments.
And I'll try to answer them, or tweet me them.
These pads are definitely not for everybody.
I have pretty light to moderate bladder leakage.
But if yours is more severe bladder leakage,
cloth pads so far are not made for that.
And that's it for #SpinaBifida, bye!
