Why I switched to AMPs!

I switched to AMPs around 10 months ago. 
It all started because I was having horrific period pain and i didn't know how to stop it. I had tried everything! 
I was on YouTube looking at a period vlog by a youtuber called Girlztalkx, then in my suggestion box, Bree from Precious stars, video was listed, at first I thought, this us disgusting! A few months later I watched a few more videos and thought wait a minute this isn't bad it is so natural and safe. I was switched from the idea of  disposables to AMPs in a matter of seconds. I went to have two periods with pads and tampons thinking who horrible I felt I just couldn't think of a way to confront her with the idea. One night I just came out with it and said " did you know that you can get pads for your period that you wash!" my mum hated the idea and even now she still does but in the end she said that it's my body and that if that is what I wanted to try then she was willing to let me do it.
Thanks for reading.
Just a short one!

whats with the FDA approval?!?

I have just been flicking through instagram to find out that Terra from Period attire is no longer making pads! Terra is a highly talented sewer and i love her pads! Bree from Precious stars will no longer be selling to the us, all due to the FDA regulations! I saw on Facebook or Twitter someone said that whoever said that cloth pads were a medical device was a man, I just found that really funny! Why don't tampons have to go through the same safety checks as some absorbent fabrics! I don't understand why the price is so high to be able to sell to the us and other countries! What needs to be checked on them, it is basically made the same way as your cloths bust absorbent. It's not a medical device to put a towel between your legs while you are on your period! Are disposable pads FDA approved, no, so why handmade pads which the makers know exactly what's inside them!


Anyway rant over! Sorry for not making a post in a while I have been having a few family issues.
Thanks for reading .
Have a great day.
