Breastpads/reusable Nursing Pads
You can make your own reusable breastpads
The first breastpads that I have done I've made with 10cm diameter, but depending on the size of the breast it can be too small, so this one is with 12cm, but some of them you can find with 15cm, the first one I also have done to be a little curved, but the lady that I have sent to try didn't like it, so this one will be flat this time... lets see if she approves it.
What you will need
26x14cm Cotton (or cotton flannel)
26x14cm fleece
26x14cm PUL
26x14cm bamboo fleece (if you are going to use only one layer)
thread, scissors, pins

How to do this project
1
Cut the circles and place them together (remember that if you are using PUL, never pin the fabric on the middle, or it may leak, depending on how much liquid they absorb)
2
You can use 2 layers of bamboo fleece, or just one, and you can also use PUL as backing or PUL + fleece as backing or just fleece, without PUL, it's up to you. This one I have done with 2 layers of bamboo fleece, PUL and fleece as backing.
3
See the edges, you can use a normal machine (zigzag) or use a overlocker mackine
