There are a lot of great links with information about cloth pads; I thought it would be silly for me to re-hash it all, so here are a few links to keep you busy!

SELLERS:
This is by no means an extensive list. Some of these I have used myself, and like a lot, and others I have simply seen around, and like the look of their pads. I only list shops that have posted to the LJ Community Cloth Pads saying that they have something in their shops some time in the last two months. This is because there are SO MANY SELLERS, and I simply can’t list all of them, I’d be here all day.

If you are interested in purchasing several types of pads from different sellers at once, I recommend Cloth Pad Shop, a website run by an Australian woman, combining the shops of a number of different sellers. There is a European, an Australian and an USA & Canada version. My shop there is located here, but I mainly use Etsy, as it automatically includes shipping and provides me with a neat mini store code to copy and paste into this site.

Some that I have pads from myself:
Mimi’s Dreams
Punky’s Pads
Vaj Pads (seems to be permanently closed)
