What are the pros and cons of zorb. Does it work well for a "gushing flow"?

cloth pads - absorbency, menstrual flow - heavy, fabric, diy

Lol I get it :) I use generic tide from costco. Will that work for zorb? I hate smelly pads....big reason I switched to cloth.

In my opinion, I just don't like this material. I've heard of complaints of pads that contained Zorb and had a musty smell. The material is so unaturally absorbent, it may take a while to dry compared to natural fabrics. Even though natural fabrics aren't powerfully absorbent like Zorb or Microfiber material is, it's really reliable, natural, and won't give you problems. The only natural fabric that I can think of that can sometimes have musty issues and longer time to dry is Hemp fabrics (the hemp and cotton mix blends ( ... )

Enjoying this thread about Zorb!

I default to natural fabrics myself, but remain intrigued by zorb nonetheless. Eager to hear others comments.

Dalyax: I use Charlie's Soap and love it.

Simple, no fragrance. I started using it because it's relatively locally made for me (I also live in NC). They've come up with a bunch of extra products now (booster, liquid, etc), but I've been using the basic laundry powder for years.

It used to just come in a plain brown paper bag, but the plastic tub definitely holds up better.

Sometimes I'll add a little white vinegar or borax to the wash if I feel like it...
