If you are wondering where Go With The Flo™ went, let us assure you GWTF is very much alive and prospering still.

If you are an existing customer of ours, you should have received a postcard explaining everything, but if you're new (or didn't get the postcard), here's what's going on...



Go With The Flo™ is still owned and operated by the same person. So that I can better serve your needs, Go With The Flo™ and Lilia Designs (my DBA) have been combined. This name consolidation simplifies things and allows the freedom to expand our product lines. In fact, we have exciting new products and lots of FFS Giveaways to be unveiled July 3rd-5th!!

• The Fit OS (one size fitted diaper covering bums from 8-40lbs)
  
• The Trim Fit I & II (all in one style diaper in two sizes)
  
• The Sleep Tight Fit I & II (extra coverage night time fitted diaper in two sizes)

Our practical line of necessities:

• Contoured Nursing Pads (now with wool backing option for leakproofing)
  
• Shower Flower (fun cloth bath poufs that scrub you clean)
  
• Tips (the coolest little finger mit for facial care)

Seylah has dyed up BFL Aran and Honey Bulky in our two most popular colorways, 'Pink Fusion' and 'Infinity'. SweetKnits will work magic with your yarn to make into a gorgeous soaker of your choice to match your Fit OS!

Happy 2009! Go With The Flo Announcements

Hau'ole Makahiki Hou! or Happy New Year!
Go With The Flo has many exciting things taking place in 2009. We have now been providing superior cloth pads for women for 3 years! Our product line has expanded, offering you a wider range of sizes and fabric options. We are adding to our team to provide you more excellent service. And we are introducing our local best sellers, cloth diapering, online!

We are happy to introduce our line of O-Pads. Organic from top to bottom, O-Pads are backed with the softest 100% wool we could find. Wool, like our poly fleece, provides a leak proof barrier. The benefit of wool is that is is a natural fiber, making it the eco-friendly choice for our cloth pads. Most women prefer wool to fleece for it's comfort and green aspects, however, a few find even the softest wool aggravating to their skin. For this reason, GWTF will continue to use our proven high performance fleece as well.

In our quest to meet each woman's specific cycle needs, Go With The Flo has created a Light Flo Line. The first size available is our 10" Petite Long Pantyliner. Following shortly, will be a 7" Petite Panty Liner. Our Pantyliners feature a unique, stay-put wing shape designed to prevent bunching and floppage that commonly occurs with other thin pads. Each Pantyliner consists of a single layer of hemp or bamboo, backed with wool or fleece, to give you unnoticeable protection. Our testers who found this pad perfect, included women who used an UID or menstrual cup and just needed a little extra protection.


Available late February, the All Nighter. As the name implies, this pad is the mother of all heavy flow pads. Go to sleep confident you won't be changing bedding in the morning. Also provides the extra absorbency for early postpartum days. Undergoing testing now.

The final product announcement we have is perhaps our most exciting! After 6 years of designing and testing cloth diapers and covers, we are proud to offer you the OS Fit. With the high demand for a diaper that goes the distance & lessens the cost of diapering our babies, the OS Fit rises to the occasion. A trim and comfortable diaper, the OS Fit has a size range of 11-35+ pounds. It features hidden snaps, quick dry soaker construction and has a fashionably finished look. We've priced it very competitively, so be sure to grab one this Tuesday the 20th at http://hyenacart.com/gowiththeflo !!

Thanks to you, our wonderful customers, Go With The Flo needs a little help keeping up with the growing demand for our products! I've found two responsible assistants to help in production and customer communication. Sarah and Lei are both women who live here on Maui as well. Lei is a stay-at-home-mom of one, and Sarah is engaged to be married this year! I am excited to bring them on the team, and I know you will be pleased with the new level of service we can now provide.

Yours truly,

Special October Stocking at YINIA

I dyed up a special collection of Halloween-themed pads for our Witching Hour event at

B.U.S.Y.!!

Well, I managed to get a whole new set of fabrics for fall dyed up within the past two weeks. I've not been able to get any new items up for Friday morning, though. There is still a lot instock at YINIA, a couple custom slots (the last for the year!!) at GWTF, and some awesome collections an K and F Shops. I've also been faithfully stocking our Etsy shop.

I promise to have some pads from this gorgeous fabric up by Sunday at 7AM on YINIA, though! So, do check back to get your Go With The Flo fix. :)

Swirly Fun!

Twenty cans of shaving cream in one week sounds like a desperate woman's frenzy to rid herself of every single unwanted hair on her body! On the contrary, I've been learning a new method of dying fabric. ;) The creamy marbled result that comes from the shaving cream technique is fascinating, artistically expressive and highly sought after. It is also quite labor-intensive.

I played Chopin on my iPod while creating these, and looking closely, you can see his Etude #12 in Cm - my favorite! This lovely pad set is going to an expecting mama building her postpartum stash. The fabrics will be added to my gallery for future custom orders.

Recent Customs

Here are some recent customs I did for a wonderful customer half way across the globe from me. I used the Swirly dye technique for a few of them and hand painted the others. I call it 'Pad Art'. My mother calls it 'Silly'. But I like the way one customer put it, "It makes you happy when you pull your pants up!" Hahaha!

Introduction

Go With The Flo Pads were designed by Robin, a fellow Work-At-Home-Mom, in 2005. The trim contoured fit and ingenious stay-put wing design quickly made them a great success. In January of 2008, I took over production for Robin while she enjoyed an extended babymoon. In June, she approached me with the option to buy Go With The Flo, and I am now the proud owner of it!

You can expect the same level of outstanding customer service and product quality that customers received from Robin. There will be one thing different: There will be more instock for your shopping pleasure! Every Friday at YINIA...and occasionally at GWTF and Etsy.
