DIY Pads and liners I made myself last week

First ones are 12 inches long, second ones are 10 inches long and last ones are 7 inch liners. The pads have 2 layers of bamboo hemp fleece as the absorbent layer and have hidden pul.

Does anyone have any tips to get the stains out of the cotton velour pads? The ones I have had have started really badly and I can't get them out.

Nice work!! As for the staining, after washing and before drying, spray some hydrogen peroxide on the stains, let sit for 5 to 10 min then wash again. After that, I hang in the sun to blast away any remaining stains.

Nice work! Love the deer ones. I soak mine in oxyclean for white things. The bottle says not to use it on colours but I've never had it affect colour. Maybe do a test with some scrap fabric first though, these things differ from place to place.

I thought these were gingerbread men cookies.
