Happy Earth Day!
Isn't it weird that the earth gets one day? Anyway, anything that promotes awareness of being more eco-friendly is good, I think.
I was reminded that it's earth day by Swistle, who is doing a giveaway in celebration of earth day. Some of the things that she talks about, I already do. I use reusable bags rather than plastic, I use reusable menstrual products (a mooncup UK, and I love it, and I think it's awesome, and I use cloth pads for backup), and I use handkerchiefs instead of tissues most of the time. I make the effort that I can be bothered to make, really. I also gave my sister cloth pads for a birthday present last year.
Anyway, Swistle is having a giveaway in celebration of earth day, but because of postage costs, it's only open to US/canada residents. I totally get this, but I wanted to be able to share the love of reusable products with the rest of the world, so I'm doing a smaller (much, much smaller) giveaway of my own: one winner will get three (3) cloth menstrual pads, from my favourite UK pad maker, Luna Wolf. She's also got a sale on right now, so if you've been meaning to try cloth, go look! The giveaway is for one pantiliner, one medium 9 inch pad, and one long 10 1/4 inch pad, in different floral colours. I am willing to ship anywhere in the world for anyone who wants these, and if nobody does, I can keep them for me! Muahahaha!
To enter, leave a comment before 6pm BST Sunday, 25th April. I'll pick the winner by random number generator. Happy Earth Day!
UPDATE: Vicky of Luna Wolf has sent a picture of the precise pads in the offer. Enjoy!
UPDATE 2: The giveaway is now closed! Thanks to all that entered. The winner is...
...Melanie! Melanie, I will be emailing you to get your address.

I came over from Swistle. I haven't ventured into reusable pads yet, but I'm willing to try!
I'd like to try them. In fact, I've been meaning to make some. But as the baby needs new clothes, and my sister is pregnant again, it's moved down my to-do project list.
Visiting you from Swistle!
I'd love to try them. I am completely intrigued and not Icked out at all!
Coming over from Swistle too! Might have to check out the Moon Cup.
I also came over from Swistle. I'd like to try the reusable pads, I've heard great things!
Even though the thought of cloth pads grosses me out a bit, I'm still intrigued enough to want to try them.
I came over from Swistle land - I'd love to try these!
I came over from Swistle. I rock the Diva Cup and would love to have some back-up cloth pads!

I think reusable pads sounds like such a good idea and would love to try them out. :)
I'd like to try them, too!
I would like to be entered, please. (Also via Swistle.)
via Swistle...I would love to give these a try! Not squicked out at all...after all, with 4 kids, I've cleaned up things that are much (MUCH) worse...
I am new to these reusable alternatives and would be thrilled to receive these pads.
Thanks a bunch!
Coming over from Swistle's blog! These seem very interesting, I think it's about time I at least give them a try.

Like so many others, I found you through Swistle. I'd love to start using cloth pads. Thanks for the giveaway!
I came over from Swistle. I am interested in trying reusable pads also.
Would love to try cloth!
I love Lunawolf pads, looking forward to using them post birth :)
I could definitely use these. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
I would love to give them a try! Seems kind of costly in the beginning, but I'm sure over time you'd actually be saving money, and taking much better care of the earth too!
Cheers,

Ha I'm coming over from Swistle as well.
I'm really interested in trying reusable pads, I'd never even thought about it before.
Switched to reusables and a moon cup bout 8 months ago and I have not used a single disposable or tampon since.
I have a couple of different brands and have to say the couple of Lunawolf's are my favourite out of the lot.
Also her way to clean pads is the best mine are hardly stained through following her method
I've been wanting to try these. I think they sound great

via Swistle - been considering a cup and reusable pads for a while. Maybe winning a couple for free could push my decision into action!
These are the prettiest ones I've seen. Would love to give them a try.
