How Earthy Girls came into being...

Earthy Girls Cloth Menstrual Pads

Earthy Girls was formed in 2009 by 2 very passionate Australian cloth women - Jane and Sharon (me).

For my part, I was always interested in cloth pads but I was so absorbed with cloth nappies at Bumpy Buns and my 3 little munchkins that I always put the idea of cloth menstrual pads on the back burner. It wasn't until I found out that one of my close friends (who also had her children in cloth nappies) had begun using cloth menstrual pads, that my interest became re-ignited. Jane found these beautiful unbleached pure cotton cloth pads and loved them. As soon as I saw them, I found them just divine too. They are so comfortable and they look and feel more like lingerie than they do sanitary napkins and they are so easy to use and wash!

For Jane's part the story was slightly different.

Jane had a lot of problems after the birth of her 4th child, and due to allergies and other personal issues she couldn't use disposable pads or tampons... So, she had to find an alternative, and it was then that she came across cloth pads.

Of course the research started and after realizing what chemicals are used in disposable pads, how much disposable pads cost, as well as the ongoing effects on our environment, the sale was complete in our lives. Being the way we women are, we wanted to share this great discovery with the world! Jane and I agreed to start a business selling these beautiful products in an attempt to help other women and help our environment.
