Introducing a New Sponsor of The Welcoming House AND a review on their amazing Products!

 I am so excited about today.

Seriously.

I was approached by Amber Given, owner and creator of Naturally Simple Women's products a few weeks ago after she had read the blog and seen quite a few of the things we talked about. Her products are very well made, comfortable, and frugal for long term use, which makes them perfect to debut on our Fabulously Frugal Friday spot this week!

So what do I think about them?

I think they are fabulous. Gorgeous material, pretty combinations, excellent package, and best of all, they work very well.

I have a daughter who is just starting this whole process, and she has such a heart for walking in her Mamma's footsteps when it comes to  being frugal, making things as simple as possible, going green and crunchy (although she still giggles when I say that).

Amber shared with us that she had a lovely Light Days set of cloth pads available,that would be perfect for teens or women with a light flow, and that she would like to share them with us as well. My Big Kid flipped. She eagerly awaited the box in the mail, and we did not have to wait long--it was here in about two days! 
Excellent customer service!

We spent some time oohing and aahing over the product when it arrived, along with a bag for washing, and storage, once used.

  

We were thrilled at how the pads could be folded up into a teensy, tiny package when used...

...and slipped right into the waterproof, leak-proof, and scent-proof bag.

The pads themselves are very well constructed, with strong snaps, soft flannel closest to the skin, absorbent, and leak proof thanks to a layer of PUL that is incredibly thin, and invisible inside the pad themselves.

Long story short, as a mom who wants the best for her children, and who has seen how quality in this market has gone down, while prices have gone up...

As an individual who has heard and seen the horror stories from so many women who have had adverse reactions to the paper products available on the market...

And as a woman who is always looking for the best solution to a way-of-life circumstance...

I am thrilled to say that I stand behind her products 100%.

They just dont get any better than this, folks.

Here is what Amber, herself, had to say, with links that can take you to her website:

Naturally Simple Products are high-quality menstrual pads that are machine washable and dry-able!  Not only are they comfortable to wear and easy to care for, but they are an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable products.

Naturally Simple has designed washable  pads with you in mind!  The layer closest to your skin is a super-soft flannel.  The wing fabric is sewn with high-quality quilting cottons that are beautiful and durable.   Our design is simply one functional piece - no fussy inserts or flaps to deal with!  All our flannels and cottons have been pre-washed to eliminate color transfer while washing. We are committed to a standard of excellence and offer a six month snap and seam guarantee on all of our pads and accessories.

Not only are there significant environmental benefits to using washable menstrual products, there are physical and financial advantages as well.   

Physical Benefits~

Our pads are designed without adhesive or toxic plastics so you won't have to deal with things sticking to what they shouldn't!  The soft flannel against your skin is super comfortable and the wing design holds the pad securely in place.  

Financial Benefits~

While your initial investment is more than a package of disposable pads, this product is designed to last for years.  Once you have purchased Naturally Simple Pads, you won't need to buy feminine products for a very long time.  Now that is a cost savings!

Environmental Benefits~

You make a difference in reducing the amount of garbage that ends up in our landfills when you use washable menstrual pads!  

The average women uses 15,000 pads or tampons and throws away 250-300 pounds of tampons, pads and applicators in her lifetime.

As our business grows we are getting feedback from many customers who are very satisfied with our products.  Here's what some of them are saying:

~Very Comfortable

~Absorbs well and had no leaking

~Much  easier to use  than I expected!

~So comfortable it feels like I'm just wearing underwear instead of a strange, itchy, papery  pad.

~They laundered beautifully

~ I ordered a  set of three panty liners  from your private website. I've used them a few times already. I just wanted to say they were very well made and of all the different types of cloth liners I have and have tried, I prefer yours the most. It has the best "barely there" feel, and the design and look of them are so stylish. Thanks! Your pads cost more than others out there but you get what you pay for I'm sure. The liners are competitively priced. Keep up the good work!!!

Soooooooooooooo...........
in honor of this new sponsor,
 and her crunchy and well constructed product,

we have chosen, together, to have a giveaway offered to the readers of the Welcoming House!  

Amber is giving away a Deluxe Starter Set, and the winner can choose between regular or opt for the Deluxe Starter Set Light. The Light set is going to be exactly the same as the Deluxe Starter listed on her site except she will exchange the night pad for an additional day pad. 

 To recap, the Light set will include three panty liners, three day pads, a Planet Wise wet bag and a laundry bag. 

How do you enter?
Simple, of course.

For one entry, go like Naturally Simple on FaceBook 

For one entry, go like The Welcoming House FB Page

For one entry, go to  http://www.naturallysimpleproducts.com/Products.html and tell me what color and combination most catches your eye in the Deluxe Starter Set.

Then you need to LEAVE A COMMENT here telling me what you did, and, if you choose, 
what colors you liked best.

This giveaway will be open until Monday morning 
at 8 am CST.

But it gets better.

The Deluxe Starter Set Light is in fact the 
"Teen Set". The name 'light' was chosen because it will work for any woman with a light cycle and not just teens, so if you are a woman with a light flow, then this set is perfect for you as well. In honor of my oldest daughter, and Amber's daughter, who are both starting new traditions to break the old habits that are not frugal or the best for them, Amber will be giving a $5.00 discount on the Light set so the intro price for the Deluxe Starter Set Light is going to be $63.00. 

 That makes for two amazing giveaways this weekend,  
this one, 
and the one for FIVE FREE COPIES 
of The Master Mix Way Cookbook. 

You can enter the Naturally Simple Women's Products one right here, right now,

and the Other by clicking this link below and following the instructions:

Many many blessings to you and yours,
