I'm so excited! My mom managed to find a place were you can buy PUL. That is a plastic fabric that I came across while researching how to make washable pads and diapers. From what I learned, when talking to the girls in Mathare that uses my pads, some of them bleed through the pads. I guess if their flow is heavy enough, it is hard to find pads that will work for a whole day (and most of them only have two pads each). I've tried to google on what would be a good solution to this problem and PUL sounds like the material that you need. I'm also thinking it'll be good for the diapers. I have no experience on how much a baby pees, but it feels safer to have some plastic in the diapers.
I started to make both diapers and pads with a plastic cover and hopes it will work better for the users. The only thing that annoyed me is that I made so many without! The price for the PUL is also very reasonable. About 280 Kes per meter!
Now I have quite a lot of material. Destiny need new pads, because about 20 new girls are enrolled (the pads being one of the reasons). I will make all of them with a PUL layer! I'm also happy that I have the new KAM buttons that I ordered - I got way to many, about 700 so now I'll keep sewing until I'm out!
