Default Cloth Pads benefits

I wasn't sure if this went here or in health but I went with here.

I was reading about cloth pads and on the wemoon site I saw a post about the health benefits of cloth pads.

This is the link: Wemoon Health Benefits

Quote:
This might sound crazy, but since I've been wearing Wemoon pads rather then disposable products, I could swear my blood flow has decreased, with my cycle decidedly shorter. Have any other women commented on this?
Well yes.....they have actually. We've had women claim that disposable products contain some sort of chemicals that induce bleeding, whether by coincidence or because this promotes the use of more product is unsure, but we're reluctant to comment.... Perhaps it's simply your body saying thank you!
I find this astonishing. Has anyone who uses cloth pads found this?

Yes.

I the years that I was bleeding between having DD2 and conceiving #3 I used cloth pads followed by a menstrual cup. Over time my flow most definitely decreased and my cramping became almost non existent.

Yep I've been using cloth pads for about 3 years now. I found (when I had a period, don';t have them when I'm breastfeeding) that they weren't as painful or lasted as long. I also use the blood water I put them in on the roses and get the most beautiful blooms. I actually think my roses have been missing it. I just throw them in the wash with the cloth nappies, sun them and they are good as new.

I love my cloth pads, so soft on my vagina.

It's been quite a few years since I began using cloth pads. I just love them. I admit I haven't replaced them as they have slowly been wearing out, so I'm glad I read this thread. It has motivated me again.
I can't say I noticed a slower flow or less pain while using them though.
