"Newborns AND Cloth" Rockin Green Femme Rock Review and #GIVEAWAY

I LOVE mama cloth! I really do!
I love knowing that I am using something that is non-toxic, safe for the environment and non-toxic.... did I already mention that one?
On 16 November, Kimberly-Clark recalled some Kotex tampons because they may be contaminated with "infection-causing bacteria" YET ANOTHER REASON I LOVE MY MAMA CLOTH! Yikes!!! Who wants to use potentially contaminated tampons??? Not me! Oh, and then there is the risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome when using tampons (you can read more about that here)!

Please note I am NOT here to point my finger at you or to condemn you if you do use disposable feminine hygiene products! Not at all! In fact I am hoping that you will give reusable mama cloth a try! I promise, you'll love it and never go back to disposables!

Okay, onto the review and #GIVEAWAY!
I Love Rockin Green soap!
Recently they came out with a new soap for mama cloth!! Yay! It's called Femme Rock!
Kim over at Rockin Green sent me a bag for review!
This is what I received:

A pic of the backside of the package:

The simple, easy to follow instructions:

This is what the actual soap looks like:

It's pretty much the same texture as the remix soap!
I LOVE this soap!
First of all, it's free from Phosphates SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfates) and fragrances!
This stuff is awesome! It came at the perfect time too!
I had a load of mama cloth to wash.
I always soak my mama cloth in cold water for about 30 minutes (or longer if I forget about it)!
Then I rinse. Then I added 2 tablespoons (only use 1 for an HE machine) and washed on hot!
The pads came out very fresh and clean. I had been using Rockin Green's Remix to wash my mama cloth and in doing that I usually soaked the pads in Rockin Green for about 30 minutes prior to washing. This stuff is awesome! I LOVE it!
It is very affordable and only costs $11.95!

Mama Cloth Anyone??? Snugs AIO Mama Pads (Etsy) Review and #GIVEAWAY

So I really LOVE Mama cloth/pads. I have done a few blog posts before about using mama cloth. I own some Charlie Banana Pads, some Fuzzi Bunz pads, and a couple of Glad Rags pads. I was searching around on Etsy one day and I came across Snugs Boutique! I first noticed that she {Andrea} made cloth diapers... then I saw that she also makes mama cloth!
So I contacted her asking if she would let me review.... a few weeks later I received four mama pads in the mail! This is what I received:

The two pads on the top are 10 inches long (for night time) and the pads on the bottom are 8 inches long. When these pads arrived I first noticed that they seemed a bit stiff (as compared to my Fuzzi Bunz and Charlie Banana)! After I washed them though, they did soften up a bit. I used the bigger pads on the first two days of my cycle and at night, and I had no issues with leaks. These things are SUPER absorbent! I was quite impressed!
Here is a description of the pads from Andrea's Etsy shop:
These mama pads are made with a top layer of PUL to catch messy leaks and keep you dry. The inner fabric is a super soft comfort fleece that is ultra absorbent and plush.

The extra snaps makes the pad adjustable to fit any size panty. Plus is rolls up into a convenient ball to fit in your purse or mama pad case.

Each pad is 8 inches long and approx 4 inches across, night time pads are 10 incehs by 4 inches.
These pads are great. I love that they come with two snaps, and that they are so absorbent. Oh, and they wash well too... no stains! Of course I wash mine in Rockin Green soap after soaking them in cold water for about 30 minutes!
These pads are also WAY affordable. You can purchase 6 Pads for $20.00! These pads are made in Canada, so shipping to the USA will cost a bit more ($6.00), but if you buy two items (she also sells cloth diapers), shipping is reduced!
Just look at these beautiful pads:

Wouldn't you like to have one, or two or three?
Well, Andrea has graciously offered one LWML follower the chance to win any item in her shop with the value of $15.00 or less, and free shipping! If you would like to purchase multiple items from her shop, and it comes out to more than $15.00, then $15.00 would be credited towards your total purchase price. This giveaway is open to the US and Canada!
