I had to buy diapers, pull-ups and feminine pads all in 1 week when we were short on money and too many days until payday to try and make it through. $50 later for disposable product I mentally did a quick calculation in my head on how much I'd spend a year on this stuff. That was the day I decided I was switching all of us to cloth.
At first I put my then 2year old in cloth diapers at night with the intention of making my 1year old diapers.
I ended up purchasing my 1year old cloth diapers because it was easier. I made myself some cloth pads. They were asthetically not very pleasing, made out of cheap materials and 6 layers of flannel. They worked but weren't that great. I purchased some new materials and tweaked my pattern.
December 2003
Mother and Maiden Pads were born. I have tweaked the pattern a bit more since then and I am using different materials, but that was the start.

My menstrual pads finally have a real name. After searching and finding no similar names, I have decided to call them Mother and Maiden Pads. A year after this I noticed a few companies are now using parts of this name. If it doesn't say MOTHER AND Maiden then they aren't true MMP's.
September 2005
I added the Ashera Liners. I had been meaning to do it for a while and finally got around to it. They are made the same way as the Pads are but are thinner and the Ultra Thins don't have a soaker. They also come wingless

Need something to carry/store your Mother and Maiden Pads or Ashera Liners in? I have now added Wetbags, though they will be getting a better name once I think of something. Right now you can find them on my new Mother and Maiden Hyena Cart along with fabrics that are not available on this site. The Wetbags will be added to Mother and Maiden in a few days.
February 2006
The wetbags have been names - Sagarus Wetbags and have been added to the Mother and Maiden site.
June 2006
14" Postpartum Pads and Liners were added. The 14" Pads have 1 extra layer of soaker while the Liners do not have an extra layer they are simply longer.
