Hippy --Sanitary napkins

Its a monthly thing (ha ha),-- the shopping for Sanitary stuff.
Normally I just buy "home bland" napkins, for 2 reasons.
1. I am overwhelmed by choice, I absolutely don't know what I need, with so much to choose from. So I just pick up the generic, because I figure that they will do the job.----- and they do.
2.The outrageous cost, which I don't remember, because I don't look anymore, and the generic are less than $2.

For many years at night, I'v been useing the old nappies, rolled up, and held in place by nickers. The nappies just get a soak and wash. I'v been very happy with this.
I recently say an article on a blog (can't remember which one) with a link to sewing reusable nappies, and sanitary napkins, and decided to make some.

The fabric, at the top of the picture is moroon, polar fleece, for the bottom layer it acts as a barrier. 1 layer The Grey, is an old towel -1 layer, The black is a cotton/hemp - 2 layers. These have been cut to that smaller pattern piece, and zigzagged together.
The cover, cut from the big pattern piece, is a bright cotton, and the purple is a cotton knit. The cotton grip sort of sticks to the gussett of your nickers and stops the pad from moving.
I wear these with firm fitting black nickers, and I have been very happy with the results.
