[size=85]I'm very excited, because our first order from Honour Your Flow has arrived! For those not in the know, Honour Your Flow is a range of reusable sanitary towels (AKA CSP on here I believe - cloth sanitary pads), they're made in the UK by another CNT member and are really good quality, I only wish I could sew like that, but there you go.

Back to the sanitary pads - we've got Honour Your Flow...

So we're moving house...slowly.

Luckily Mr Frenchveg and I live little, so we're able to transport everything in suitcases between the old rental and the new. Thank goodness for wheely cases!

Now that I've been using cloth for an entire week I thought I would update on my experience so far; Including my opinions on the different cloth nappies that I borrowed from the nappy library.

So far I have been pleasantly surprised at how hassle-free using cloth nappies has been. I expected a lot of extra work. Washing nappies takes no extra effort considering I wash our laundry a few times a week anyway, not to mention that my daughter has had no rashes since changing over.
