This seems to be something that a lot of people just cant wrap their head around when it comes to using cloth. But it really isnt nearly as big if a deal as youre thinking. I pop the used pad into a waterproof pad wrapper like the one shown here and that prevents any mess from occurring. And because of the breathability of cloth pads, there is little to no odour that will be noticeable. Its simple and easy :). #clothpads #periodsolutions #reusablepads
