Thanks to Myra for this Frugal Baby Tip!
I personally like internal protection, and long before I used cloth diapers, I found The Keeper. It is a natural rubber cup. It holds one ounce. You change it about as often as a tampon. It costs $35 at http://www.keeper.com/ (the actual Keeper people who give you a 3 month trial period). It lasts 10+ years.
Like any other rubber product, don't use mineral oil or petroleum jelly on this! if you have a yeast infection and are using yeast medicine, don't use this while treating yourself! Like our other happy rubber products (Umm, I didn't mean it that way!), this makes wonderful embarassing rubber noises when you insert it and take it out!
It can get messy, but I find that using 1 or 2 or 10 wipes when I'm inserting and removing it helps. I feel a lot fresher and cleaner using it than I ever did with tampons. I have also not used any backup protection, no pantiliners, nothing! I love it!
There are many WAHMs who make pads, and I have heard many good reactions to Valerie W's pads (You can find her at http://www.madebymoms.com/ at Bottom Line at Necessities if that is the right company.). I know Darla of Darla Diapers and Stuff makes them. If they are anything like her diapers, they should be great because her diaper looks wonderfully professionally made.
I can't believe they are made by simple human hands (and a machine)! I think I am personally going to use Aunt Flo's made by Sandy of Sandy's Attic. I am probably going to use the $4.50 pads (She has many types for your budget and needs.). I like the fact that she uses recycled materials. I like the way the $4.50 AF looks.
You can also use sea sponges (Catherine of Born to Love sells these.). I don't know much about these except that you do have to replace them after a few months.

About Catherine: I have been writing my Frugal Baby Tips since 1982, when I was a young divorced mom of two - for my baby product company, Born to Love. I am now mom to three grown up sons, and a grandma - and happily married to a wonderful man. We have rescued two little dogs, Denny and Dexter - and a rescue cat, Bella.
Taking care of baby and mom needs naturally, does not have to cost a whole lot of money! Money-saving tips on diapering, diaper washing, safety, sling and baby carriers, toys, clothing, nursing, menstrual needs, traveling with kids, and more!
If you have Frugal Baby Tips to share, we want to hear them! It might even get published!
