LunaPads giveaway

Consider yourselves lucky. Since I'm uber-busy this week working hard on preparing my seminar for the Eugene Home, Garden and Living show in Oregon next weekend, I don't have time to write on all the burning topics that are totally stuck in my craw.

So, in the meantime, in honor of my seminar topic (in which I'm planning on covering alternative menstrual care products), I'm doing a giveaway of cloth menstrual pads to hopefully encourage one lucky winner to give this sustainable alternative a whirl.

Now, this is no ordinary sample of cloth pads, but a whole get-you-hooked-up kit which will contain these lovely items from LunaPads:

1. Waterproof carry case (for cloth pad transport)
2. Five (5) Maxi pads (with 3 liners each for a total of 15 liners)
3. Five (5) Mini pads (with 3 liners each for a total of 15 liners)

The LunaPad includes 2 parts: a pad with wings that fasten around the gusset of your underwear with a sewn-on plastic snap, and a liner that is worn on top of the pad and held in place with ric-rac bands. This design allows you to change liners quickly and easily without having to change your whole pad. Watch this video to see how Lunapads are worn.

To enter to win this LunaPads SuperChicken Set, just add your name to the comments of this post. You have until Friday, January 15th, at midnight PST to sign up. I'll announce the winner this weekend.

Good luck!

I have had the privilege of sharing the pads with poor girls in Kenya, courtesy your donation.unfortunately i did not even remain with a sample to show around so people could make their own.many still believe no reusable pads exist on earth. Wish i could win. My email is: eochanji@yahoo.com. Eric Ochanji, Kisumu Kenya.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I'd love to win this, especially the mini pads as I use the Diva cup too.

    In the chance that I don't win, I'd love to find a link where I can make some pads myself.

  17. Luna Pads are Lovely! Currently I use the Diva cup, and some home-made cotton pads (made by some etsy sellers) But, I would be happy to have the Luna Pads to LOOOOVE.

    ReplyDelete
  18. I would love some Luna Pads. My 11 yo should be getting her period in the next year or so (according to the ped) and I would love to have these for her. I was thinking about hooking her up with a menstrual cup, but I don't know that she will go for it. I am willing to buy one for her to try, but having these might be a nice alternative. So nice of you to do so many give aways.

    ReplyDelete
  19. I've bought cloth pads from sellers on Etsy, but haven't splurged on LunaPads yet! This would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!

  21. I have never tried cloth pads but have been wanting to! Count me in!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Me please! I tried a diva cup a few times, but I think it gave me cramps so I went back to disposables, which I really hate. Also, I think someone in my family told me that my aunts and cousins in Egypt had been using towels for pads before disposables, so I'm a bit surprised that the Kenyan women knew nothing of reusables.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is such a great give-away! Thank you! Maybe my 8 millionth try at one of these give-aways will be the charm ... ? ;)

  92. How did you know I've been in the market for Luna Pads? Seriously, I've been checking them out online. You converted me to the diva cup, and I planned to get some luna pads but getting pregnant took much shorter than I thought it would, so I haven't had the need...
    Since the baby's coming soon, though, I'd love to win!
