7. Mama Cloth with Alysia -- Part II

01/09/19 • 43 min

Isis and Chae continue their conversation with Alysia who is a mom of two boys. She always had an interest in cloth menstrual pads AKA mama cloth but made the switch when she began cloth diapering her son Apollo. Alysia was diagnosed with endometriosis and started mama cloth because she had really heavy, painful cycles. She was actually scheduled to have her ovaries removed but then she discovered mama cloth. Once she started using cloth, Alysia noticed a dramatic disappearance in her symptoms! No more painful periods, cramps, or endometriosis in the 3 years since she started using her mama cloth.

Alysia and Chae also enjoy Cream and Coco feminine soaps (especially Honeypot and Nookie Swirl!)
