Pink Lemonade Shop Postpartum Mama Cloth Review & Giveaway

Kickin' It Off With Cloth

Day 8 of Kickin' It Off With Cloth Event hosted by Thrifty Nifty Mommy Blogger Network features Pink Lemonade Shop who specializes in a line of luxury, reusable, hand made cloth menstrual pads made with top quality fabrics!


Let's face it... after even just a few day of cloth diapering our babies, we can't help but envy the super soft materials that go on their bums.  It's time us moms are able to feel a little better too, even if it's just a few days a month!  I admit the thought of "mama cloth" scared me, maybe even grossed me out a little when I first learned about it, but now after using them I'm hooked. The colors and size alone beat those thick, uncomfortable disposable ones any day.  


I received two different mama cloth postpartum pads to try.  One minky and one bamboo velour. When I first received them, I immediately fell in love with how soft they were and how pretty (you will never EVER use those words to describe disposable pads). Then, when you compare the size of disposable pads that you get in the hospital for postpartum bleeding (that feel and even look like diapers) to then thin cloth pads, I thought there was no way they were going to be able to be able to contain postpartum bleeding.  Boy was I wrong!!  I am absolutely amazed that they were able to contain my bleeding extremely well with no leaking whatsoever. Because the mama cloth snaps around your underwear I didn't even have to worry about leaking on the sides, like I did with the disposable pads.  Lastly, I have washed these quite a few times and not only do they feel just as soft as day 1, they also haven't stained one bit!
I honestly can't say I like one over the other even after using them many times. I'm equally in love!

Finally, the customer service I received was AMAZING.  Shipping was super fast and she even followed up and made sure I received my order.


More About the pads:  
The zebra print is made out of Minky, a super soft polyester fabric. Minky is a wicking fabric which means it draws moisture away from you into the core of the pad which allows you to feel drier longer.  The Berries color is made from Hand Dyed Bamboo Velour, a soft natural fiber.  Velour is very absorbent and personally hand dyed at the Pink Lemonade Shop themselves.  Both pads are backed with water resistant WindPro Fleece (professional grade fleece) and have bamboo fleece through the core for absorbency.

  2. Hmmm, the rafflecoper says another Ewe N Me product to comment on so I did, but I'll add a Pink Lemonade as well in case that's what is meant here.

    I love the baby blanket as well as all the fabulous postpartum pads!

  4. Her pads look awesome! I have never used a pad though, always tampons.. but after baby is born and I'm done breast feeding, I'll have to try them out. They are too awesome to pass up, really! If I won your Store credit, I would buy the blanket first.. It looks super soft and I love how awesome her tye dying abilities are!!

  6. I would buy the bamboo velour blanket because it would be incredibly soft and cuddly! My favorite diapers are the bamboo velour, so I could stop rubbing my cheeks on the diapers and snuggle her in the blanket instead! :) I also like the thong pantyliners as well- I would love to own a couple of those also...

  10. I love the mommy bracelets. The on with the pearls is beautiful. Of course mine, if customized, would be very colorful, especially since I'd want to include my baby son that was stillborn and my 3 babies I miscarried. I'd have 9 stones/beads!

  11. I'm planning to try a Diva Cup after this baby comes so I think the 6 inch panty liners would be great. I also really love the postpartum cloth.
