Weenotions Fairy Hammocks and Peapods

Weenotions reusable Fairy Hammocks are comfortable, thin, absorbent and funky!! They consist of a layer of waterproof yet breathable PUL, inner layers of cotton jersy or bamboo towelling and finally a layer of super-soft minkee or woven cotton.

They wrap around your underwear and fasten underneath with poppers.

Liquid is absorbed quickly through the top layer and into the inner fabric, where it is kept away from your clothing by the pul layer.

The shape of Cup Fairies is different from the regular pads - the inner absorbent layer on these pads covers the whole pad. These pads have one inner layer of bamboo towelling, they will be quite capable of absorbing both light and medium flow as there is so much fabric available in the absorbent layer.

These pads have narrower wings at the sides where the wings curve to meet the pad - so they may fit underwear that looks like shorts better than our regular design. They have 4 poppers on them enabling you to choose the width that suits you best. The length of these pads is 20cm and the width goes from 7.5cm on the outside poppers to 6cm on the inner poppers and if you wanted to; you could go for the very smallest setting which is only 5cm wide - although this is not recommended as it may cause bunching in your undies. These measurements are taken when the poppers on the pads are snapped together and the pad is flat.

These pads, like all Weenotions pads are backed with 'poly-cotton backed pul' to reduce any potential movement of the pad in your undies.

Care:

If you have a child in cloth nappies, simply pop your used pad into your nappy bucket (if you want to minimise stains you can give them a quick rinse under the cold tap) and wash using the instructions below. If you have brightly coloured pads and white nappies, wash with your normal clothes wash for at least the first few washes. If you do not have a child in cloth nappies, use a suitable storage container (i.e. an airtight plastic box) and wash with like colours. Some people like to store their Cloth San Pro in salted water. This is probably good advice for the cotton tops to minimise staining.

Maximum wash temperature 60degrees C - 40 degree washes, however, are recommended to minimise the impact on the environment and keep your fairies looking newer for longer. They can be tumble dried on a LOW heat setting only.

WASHING WARNING: Please be careful if you are washing your Fairy Hammocks with anything fastened with Aplix, as it could damage your pad. If you are washing with anything containing Aplix, we recommend washing your Fairy Hammocks inside a pillow case or similar.

Wee Notions PeaPods are topped with 100% cotton fabric.

The back of the PeaPod pad (which sits against your underwear) is made from Fleece. The middle of the pad is made of several layers of Organic Cotton Jersey, according to the thickness of pad you use. The top of the pad (that sits against your skin) is in all cases 100% cotton although some pads have flat cotton on them and some have flannel tops. the pads with flannel tops have this info clearly marked in the information on the product.

Flannel cotton is slightly different from flat cotton it has a slight pile that comes from brushing the fabric and it also has a wider weave which makes it slightly thicker.

These pads can be used as menstrual pads or for stress incontinence. They work very well for stress incontinence as no fluid can pass straight through the central Pod of the PeaPod. The central Pod of the PeaPod has 3 layers. Top layer that goes against your skin in 100% cotton, the middle absorbent area is Organic Cotton Jersey and the lower layer is a PUL waterproof but breathable layer.

Any fluid that penetrates the top of the pad is wicked along the length of the pad. If there is any overflow it will not be through the middle pod of the pad but over the sides. If you experience any overflow you will probably need a size up in the thickness of your pad and if our heaviest pad is not suitable for you - there is a good chance that what you are suffering from isn't stress incontinence.

Definition of stress incontinence:

Stress incontinence is losing urine without meaning to during physical activity, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise.
