Belted Pads

see shop for more pads


Perfect for new mums who need soft cloth against their delicate tissue after birth.
These pads are designed for heavy flow and night time use- and can be worn without knickers! Pads have a ‘pocket’ design which holds an extra long towelling insert- double thickness of towelling and 4 layers of organic cotton. The pad is held in place with a belt.

Moon Times Post Partum Pads are great for mums after birth, especially if you have had stitches!
We recommend spraying pads with some water and a few drops of soothing essential oils added (lavender, chamomile, calendula or rose) and putting pads in the freezer before use- a cool pad against swollen delicate skin is very soothing.
Moon Times recommend Welcome World Perineum Wash for after birth…see http://www.welcomeworldcafe.com/herbalteas.php#

If you are using cloth pads in hospital you will need your partner/friend to take your pads home & wash. Make sure you have enough as you can bleed heavily after birth & use as many as 4-6 pads a day in the first few days. Be sure to have some spare pads as a back up.

There are 3 types of pads- 100% organic, (undyed, or naturally dyed) or patterned* and plain non organic pads. (*Patterns may vary)

Pads are easy to use and easy to wash-:
• Thread the belt through the hoops and wear under your PJ’s for a comfy, leak free sleep.
• Remove insert and soak with pad in cold water until you are ready to wash-change water daily, use water to feed your plants!
• Machine or hand wash in an eco washing detergent. Then machine or sun dry
• If you prefer to wash pads separate from your main wash- just wash first on the ‘pre- wash cycle’ before adding your other clothes!
• When away from home carry a make up bag for used pads and soak as soon as possible
