Difference between Bamboo & Bamboo Charcoal topped pads

FAQ:  What's the difference between Cheeky Mama bamboo or bamboo charcoal topped Cloth Sanitary Pads?

Great question.  our cloth sanitary pads come in both bamboo terry toppings and also bamboo charcoal, a microfleece which is grey coloured.  At Cheeky Wipes HQ, we like both but for different reasons:

Colour / Staining / Washing

Obviously the charcoal grey ones will not show the blood as clearly, so if you are squeamish go for that!  They are less likely to show any staining, although if you follow our care instructions and cold soak and wash, then that shouldn't be a problem.

Texture

Not everyone is a fan of microfleece and some people prefer something more natural feeling against their nether regions.  If this is you, go for the bamboo top.

Smell - or not

Bamboo charcoal is allegedly more odour absorbing, however having used both, I can't discern any noticeable odour from either.

Summary

It really comes down to personal preference.  I like both, if pushed I might go for the bamboo top as I prefer the feel against my skin, but it all comes down to the individual.  If you can't make up your mind, why not order one of each to see what you think, before making a commitment?
