Justifying your Cloth Pad Stash!
People say it in a bad way 'Ohh I think I have an addiction' when they have what they see as a large pad stash (Collection of pads).... or perhaps your partner is complaining you have too many. Here are some reasons/justifications of having a large cloth pad stash :D
 
  • Because I can
  • The more you have, the less often you use each one, so the longer they last
  • You can always pass them down to your daughter or someone else when you no longer need them
  • You can sometimes use them to barter for other pads or items
  • You are helping out WAHMs and Small Businesses by helping to keep them in business
  • It makes your period exciting and fun to have a new pad to try
  • Its nice to be able to choose which pad you want to wear from a selection of designs, lengths, types and fabrics
  • Allows you to co-ordinate with your clothing
  • You can change them as often as you like without fear of being caught with no more pads left
  • Its more economical to wash all your pads at the end rather than doing several loads of washing, so you need enough to cover all situations
  • You are doing research, and thus need a sample from different pad makers :)
  • Because someone else has a bigger stash than you, and you need to keep up as your reputation is at stake!
  • The stash still probably costs less than if you'd bought disposable ones
  • "You think this stash is big? If I'd used disposables there would be about 6 times this amount of disposables in the landfill, and that's terrible for the environment!"
  • Buying pads makes me happy
  • I loved that particular fabric, and just couldn't resist
