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!

Oooo nice. Thanks for a super-cool giveaway! My e-mail is joelled at gmail dot com if I win.
I want to win. Add me.
Keep meaning to make myself something like this but never get around to it...
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.
Eric - Are you still working with Barb? I can try to coordinate with her about getting out more donations.
I would LOVE this.
I have been interested in these for a long time - what a great giveaway!
Please dont enter me in this- Still don't need menstraul products even if my coworkers say I am on the rag.
I'm mad keen to win this giveaway. Since I made my new year's resolution to ditch plastic from my life I've been thinking about what I'm gonna do for periods.
Me please!

I was just thinking about your Divacup challenge the other day... Sign me up!

Ooh, I would LOVE to win this package....do you ship to Australia? :)
Oh wow! I've been meaning to make some, but it'd be nice to save the time, too!
I would love to win this, I could split them up with my Mum and sister. Maybe if she doesn't have to spend anything on them my sister will give them a try.
I actually have some cloth pads that I made by hand, and they're great!
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.
My friend and I were just discussing this! angelajiniel at gmail dot com. Thanks!
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.
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.
I've bought cloth pads from sellers on Etsy, but haven't splurged on LunaPads yet! This would be great! Thanks for the giveaway!

I'd love to win these. I use the diva cup because of reading you. :) - Tina

I have never tried cloth pads but have been wanting to! Count me in!
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.
This is such a great give-away! Thank you! Maybe my 8 millionth try at one of these give-aways will be the charm ... ? ;)
I'd like to try them. Please put me in the contest.
This is a great giveaway!
What a great giveaway! I love cloth pads, they are great stuff. shabadeux at gmail dot com
I am a Diva Cup girl myself but I know some non-Divas that I have failed to convert that could use these. Sign me up!
Great giveaway! Please enter me! ritabelle73 at yahoo dot com
I was just talking about trying to find some to buy, but I'll take a chance at winning! Everyone knows that despite what I say, I won't get around to making them!
Please enter me as well. And good luck preparing your presentation!
Very cool! Something I have been meaning to check out (I have not fallen in love with my Diva Cup yet!)
Yeah, My teenage daughter would love this. She has yet to fall in love with her diva cup but would give these a whirl. Thanks for the great give away.

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!
I have actually been looking at this exact kit!!! Please enter me into the drawing for this super giveaway, please!
Please enter me! Thank you!
Oh Oh Oh! Pick me :)
These are great pads. I'd love to win some.
Awesome giveaway! I use my Diva cup, but need something for after the baby is here! (March) Thanks for the opportunity!!!

I've been meaning to start using my DivaCup again (I stopped after getting an infection--turns out castile soap is a nono). Sadly the batting I bought to make pads is languishing... but perhaps now I've been reminded I can make some. ^_^

Here's some madness for ya....I thought my periods were over; change of life and all. Incredibly, I've started having them again at age 46 and all the paper products give me an insane rash on my nether regions! Life is so unfair. :-)

Hey JessTrev,
We do have an all black fabric option at Lunapads for all you lazy practical folk out there ;) Of course there are lots of women who prefer fanciful patterns and the like so we've got them covered to! We try to have a little something for everyone.
Cheers!

Oh, I hope those of us in Canada can enter this:) I would love to have more pads for my daughter who is 13 and has only used cloth pads for the past 2 years since she started menstruating. At 50, I am hoping that I won't need my cloth pads for much longer, have been using cloth for 20 1/2 years:)
I could really use these. Thanks for the lovely giveaway.
I would love to try these
Yay Lunapads! I could use some more :-)
