Period Pads
How do reusable period pads work?
Washable sanitary pads work the same way as disposable pads but they're washable and therefore reusable.
The top layer is soft and permeable, to keep you dry and comfortable, and is usually made of either microfleece, velour or cotton.
The inner absorbent core is usually made of multiple layers of natural absorbent fabric such as cotton or often bamboo, which is antimicrobial.
The outer layer is thin and flexible PUL (polyurethane laminate) and is what protects your underwear and clothing.
The number of internal absorbent fabric layers inside depends on whether your pad is for day, night or a pantyliner.
Simple. But also very effective.
And no nasty chemicals, gels, or smells.
How do they feel?
Being made from breathable fabric, they feel like underwear against your skin. The wings are designed to keep them secure in a similar way to disposables, but you won’t be able to feel the poppers at all.
What’s surprising is how reusable pads make you feel…
The number of women messaging to tell me about the impact on their health and comfort from ditching tampons or plastic, itchy disposables is growing…
Whatever your age, and even if you have been using the same method of protection since you were a teenager…you are allowed to change your mindset!
