Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose washable cloth menstrual pad?

• Material: The reusable pads are made with a super absorbent soft bamboo fiber and odor neutralizing layer that won't show your period stains. The dark side is the absorbent side, not the pattern side.
• Eco-friendly: Cloth pads help keep disposables out of landfills. Disposables cannot be reused and take years to decompose.
• Economical: The average menstruator spends about $120 per year on pads and tampons and an additional $20 each year on medications for cramps and other period side effects. Menstruators on average menstruate for 40 years, meaning each person spends approximately $5,600 on their period over their lifetime. These reusable pads are less than $100 and are washable and reusable for up to 5 years.
• Healthy: Disposable menstrual products are most often made from synthetic materials and may contain harmful chemicals and residue. This reusable pad is simply organic. It does not contain bleach or harmful chemicals that will prevent your period from flowing easily. 
• Breathable: Besides being hypoallergenic, reusable pads are made from cloth that is breathable, which gives your sensitive skin a chance to breathe and not develop a rash. The lack of bleach commonly found in disposables also helps sensitive skin. 
• Discreet: Ever felt embarrassed for opening a pad in a public toilet? This reusable pad has a snap that sounds like a little button, ensuring that only you and you alone would know that you're on your period.
• Protection: The whole pad- including the wings- provides a leak proof protection. To prove that our product offers the best protection and absorption, pour around 20 ml of water on the pad then check the bottom of the item for any leaks. 
• Easy to clean: The reusable pad is washing machine friendly

How many do I need throughout my cycle?

• We recommend a variety of 10-15 pads every cycle. Some need less, especially people who only have their period for 3 days, and some need more.
• If you're diligent in washing, then you won't need as much as 10 pads for your cycle!

Do these pads slide while being worn?

• We do not recommend wearing any type of lace underwear while the pads are in use. For optimal use and no shifting around, it is important to wear a tighter and thicker material underwear.

Washing:

You can wash them every day or as one load at the end of your cycle.

Important Reminders:

• Use cold water to wash your pads.
• Item can be washed either by hand or machine.
• Do not use iron, bleach, fabric softener or "sanitize cycle" in your machine as this might cause harmful effects to the body, and can reduce the lifespan of the reusable pads.

There are different ways to wash your pads. These are our recommendations:

• Shower Method

• Soaking Method

Drying:

1. The pads can be air dried and machine dried (low heat).
2. The pad can be exposed under the hot sun.
3. Do not rush drying the pads (by using blow dryer) as it can ruin the pads.

 Note:

1. Please wash the item before using it the first time.
2. If there are stains on it, add a little salt in cold or warm water. Do NOT use hot water as this can aggravate stains.
