Applemilky

I still have some mini-pads and night-pads in stock but don’t worry, I’ve ordered more day pads! I honestly did not think the cloth pads would sell as well as they did but hey, I’m not complaining. I think it’s really great that ladies in Singapore are willing to try this out. It’s great for the environment and I’m sure all of you who have tried it have experienced greater comfort with these soft and cottony pads too.

Check out Kimmie’s comment over at the cloth pads page,

“Hi Abby, I have tried cloth pads for the first time and I must say I really love them! It was totally comfortable the first time I tried it and it really isn’t as troublesome as I had imagined it to be.”

Thanks Kimmie for your comment. I’m definitely bringing more in now!

Good news also, I have some leak-proof pouches for carrying spare liners/soiled liners as well. The pouch has a leak-proof lining with a leak-proof divider so you can carry both a spare liner and a soiled liner together in the same pouch. The pouches come in pretty designs and I’ll add them to the shop soon.

Thanks everyone for your support!

Cheers,

Abby

** Update **

I’ve received new stock for both Size A and Size B Mooncups, but I only ordered a limited number of each. Do email me asap to get yours. But for those who are still thinking about it, don’t worry because I will be ordering more next month.

* * * * *

Hi Ladies! in both sizes are out of stock at the moment but don’t worry, I am placing an order for more so new stock should arrive in about a month’s time. You can still email me to place orders in the meantime (or for any other reason, heehee). If payment is made in advance, I can post your Mooncup as soon as the new stock arrives!

Cheers,
Abby

Hello! Hope you are having a fantastic start to the year!

I’ve just set up a facebook group called Singaporeans for alternative periods. 

I know the name sounds kinda weird but I wanted a name that emphasises advocacy for having alternatives to disposable products during our monthly period. I hope that you’ll take the time to pop by and have a look and maybe join the group as well! (There aren’t that many people in the group for now)

Eventually, it’ll be nice to have platform to discuss the usage of alternative menstrual products with other Singaporeans even though it seems that the idea hasn’t really caught on yet. Each of us can play a part in promoting environmental issues to other ladies in our society.

I’m also considering bringing in some washable cloth pads. What are they? They’re just like your regular pads except they’re made of cloth, meaning they are not disposable (which also means you have to wash them). The two most immediate advantages are that it’s much more comfortable than disposable pads, and of course, you aren’t contributing any trash to the environment.

Before you go “ewwwwwwww”, I do hope that you will give this article a read – Eight Myths About Washable Menstrual Pads and you might change your mind.

I hope that you’ll give me some feedback on what you think about washable pads, and also if you think I should bring some in for distribution in Singapore. Please either leave a comment on this post or email me at abby@applemilky.org.

Cheers,
Abby

Hi everyone, thank you for your support this past year. I can’t believe Applemilky is more than a year old already! This Christmas, you can buy two Mooncups for $100*! It’s the perfect opportunity to get one for yourself AND your bestie! The two mooncups can be sent to two different addresses at no extra charge.

This Christmas, give a gift that cares for your body and for Mother Nature too!

Cheers,
Abby
