Announcement
We strive offer the most comfortable and functional cloth pads and liners you can find! We hear over and over that the Cozy Folk design is best that customers have found...We love these pads, and we enjoy making them!
~~To find out which fabric type is best for you, continue reading.
Flannel: is a popular fabric used in many brands of reusable menstrual pads: it’s natural (100% cotton), thin, breathable, and fuzzy like pajamas. Just like flannel clothing, the colors may fade or pill somewhat over time/use, but this won't affect the pad's functionality. If you’re looking for a simple, comfortable pad, flannel is a great choice.
Jersey: It's extremely thin, lightweight, and breathable, making it perfect for warm climates. Jersey's special wicking fibers quickly move moisture down into the absorbent layers, keeping you dry and comfortable. The Jersey we use is synthetic and made in the USA with eco-friendly production practices.
Minky: is non-staining and slightly thicker & warmer than flannel or jersey, so it might not be ideal if you live in a hot climate - though it's still much more breathable than disposables! It is a synthetic fabric designed to resemble mink fur, so it's incredibly soft! If you're looking for a pad that will pamper you with silky softness, you'll love minky.

5 out of 5 starsRemember these only work with plastic snaps! Half of my collection has metal snaps so this extender doesn't work with them.

5 out of 5 starsExcited to try this out! I have had a Go Girl for over a decade, and have only used it a couple of times, but I love being able to pee standing up and thought this looks a little simpler (possibly easier to use), so I can't wait to use it in the wild, so to speak! I like having a spare option, since I made an impromptu beach run on New Year's Eve and couldn't find where I stashed the other! Now I will always have one on hand! Thank you!

5 out of 5 starsI've ordered pads from this company before and been happy with them. When my daughter began to need pads, we got some from 3 different places in order for her to decide what she liked. She wanted more of these so we placed a larger order. They were great about giving her the color scheme she wanted and the pads are lovely. They arrived in a timely manner and my daughter has been very pleased with them.

5 out of 5 starsThese pads are super well made and crafted, and I can’t wait to get to wear them!! I really like the patterns that were chosen for me, I really like vibrant colors and fun patterns. These are probably the nicest reusable pads I own, and I highly recommend getting yourself a set. Plus, the sellers are super sweet and dedicated to a great cause, so definitely support them and their business!!

Frequently asked questions
Where did your Sliding Scale Cloth Pads Sets go?
We still have them available, just not on this platform. You can find your way to those reduced cost and nearly free options via our website.
Custom and personalized orders
Our ability to do these depends on the time of year and the type of request. We would love to hear from you and see what we can do! We can definitely do things like any absorbency level on and length pad. Fabric-pad size combos we don't currently have listed, etc. Want to have us make pads/liners out of fabric you have?!?
We are currently in development stages of creating a couple thong-liner options.
You can also ask us via email: cozyfolx@gmail.com
WHAT ARE COZY FOLK PRODUCTS MADE FROM?
Cozy Folk pads & pantyliners are backed with Polartec Wind Pro 100% polyester fleece (manufactured in the United States). They’re topped with your choice of conventionally grown 100% cotton flannel, 100% polyester jersey, or 100% polyester minky. All absorbent cores contain conventionally grown 100% cotton flannel; Moderate & Heavy flow pads also have additional layers of bamboo fleece (70% viscose rayon from bamboo + 30% organic cotton). They are sewn with a combination of heavy duty & extra soft nylon threads.
Bamboo fleece is one of the best absorbent fabrics available, and we source ours from a factory that uses a "closed loop" system to minimize environmental impact.
ARE COZY FOLK PADS VEGAN?
Yes. Cozy Folk cloth pads contain no wool, silk, leather, or other animal products. Everything else we sell is vegan-friendly, too.
WHAT ABOUT USING CLOTH PADS FOR INCONTINENCE OR LEAKAGE?
Cozy Folk cloth pads also offer an alternative to disposable products in these categories-- to an extent, though they may not replace full diapers or work as easily in situations/ages where one is not doing their own laundry. Our largest size is 14 inches long with two absorbent Bamboo Fleece layers. Our 10, 12 and 14 inchers have one end that flares out larger, you may find that you prefer to have that end in front, depending on your urethra location, etc.
You will want to use FLANNEL or JERSEY pads for incontinence. Minky does not absorb urine rapidly enough.
People also use smaller liners for mild leaks and discharge.
PUL waterproof layer can be added under absorbent layers upon custom request.
CAN I USE COZY FOLK CLOTH PADS FOR PREGNANCY & POSTPARTUM?
Yes, cloth pads are a wonderful choice for new moms! If you experience frequent discharge or urine leaks during your pregnancy, pantyliners can also be very helpful. Once your baby arrives, the bleeding can be quite heavy for the first few days. We recommend wearing a larger pad than you normally would and having plenty of pads ready so that you can change them frequently. If you'll be cloth diapering your baby, you can wash your pads in the same laundry load - keep this in mind when deciding how many pads you'll need. Of course, once your regular period returns, you can continue to use these pads during your cycle!
CAN ANYONE USE CLOTH PADS? WHAT ABOUT "MAMA CLOTH"?
If you’ve ever used a disposable pad or tampon, you can use cloth!
"Mama cloth" is just another name for cloth menstrual pads, though at Cozy Folk, we tend towards more broad/inclusive terms. After all, mothers aren't the only people who menstruate! We warmly welcome people of all ages and genders. If cloth pads have the potential to improve your life in some way, we want to help!
We also strive to provide gender-diverse, non-binary, and queer friendly products.
DO CLOTH PADS LEAK?
To prevent leaks, Cozy Folk pads are backed with premium water-resistant Wind Pro fleece. This is used as a softer, more breathable alternative to the polyurethane laminate (PUL) used in many brands of cloth pads. **As long as you use the appropriate absorbency pad and change your pad within a reasonable amount of time, leaks shouldn't be an issue.** However, if it’s your first time using cloth pads, you might want to just wear them around the house for a couple days until you become more comfortable with them.
If you find that the way or length of time that you want to wear your pads could be improved with a PUL layer addition, we are open to custom orders and have the material on hand.
HOW DO I DECIDE WHICH FABRIC TOP IS RIGHT FOR ME?
FLANNEL is natural (100% cotton), thin, breathable & fuzzy like pajamas. The appearance may change over time, but this won't affect the pad's functionality.
JERSEY is a synthetic fabric made in the U.S. with eco-friendly production. It's extremely thin, lightweight, & breathable. Special wicking fibers quickly move moisture down into the absorbent layers, keeping you dry & comfortable.
MINKY is a silky soft, synthetic fabric that is stain-resistant. It is slightly thicker & warmer than flannel or jersey, so it may not be ideal for hot climates (though it’s still much more breathable than disposables).
**Direct experience with the fabrics may be the best way to find what you like, and a mix of fabrics can also suit some folks!
