HOW OUR PADS WORK
YOU'LL BE AMAZED AT HOW COMFORTABLE AND ABSORBENT THEY ARE
Our Reusable Sanitary Pads come in 4 sizes.
They’re all comfortable, ultra-absorbent and designed for both periods and mildbladder leaks.
HOW THEY WORK
Each pad is made of hard-working layers designed to keep you dry, comfortable and leak-free on even the heaviest days of your period.
BAMBOO TOP LAYER
The top layer of the pad is made from soft, grey, charcoal bamboo. This is the part of the pad that faces upwards and touches your vulva, absorbing your period. It's naturally anti-bacterial and odour-proof.
CORE MICROFIBRE LAYERS
Inside the pads are layers of microfibre, they are super absorbent and ensure you feel dry, odour-free and comfortable all day long during your period. Our microfibre is made from 100% recycled plastic.
BOTTOM PUL LAYER
The black PUL material is waterproof and as the bottom layer of material, sits against your pants. The material keeps you leak-free and won't stain. It's also made from 100% recycled plastic.
HOW TO WEAR
1. Unbutton and open the pad so it's laying flat.
2. Place the pad into your pants with the black PUL layer faced down.
3. The soft grey charcoal bamboo layer should be facing upwards in your pants, this is the surface that your vulva touches and absorbs your period.
4. Reach underneath your pants to the popper buttons, pop them together securely around your pants. Choose from the two popper settings for the best and closest fit. Make sure you wear close fitting pants to minimise pad movement - briefs and shorts are great, thongs and french knickers are not suitable for our pads.
5. Adjust the pad so that it is sitting in the right position, pull up your knick-nacks and away you go.
HOW TO WASH & DRY
When you receive your new pads, pop them in the wash before first use. This boosts the initial pad absorbency and gets them squeaky clean of any manufacturing lint or packaging trace. You'll also be happy to know that every time you wash you pads they get more absorbent and less 'fluffy'.
1. When it's time to change your pad it'll feel heavier and might start to feel wet against your skin. You'll get a feel for it.
2. Reach down to the poppers under the pad and unbutton them.
3. If you're out and about then fold the pad into an 'envelope' shape, pop the buttons closed and store away in your waterproof wet bag until you get home.
4. If you're at home, rinse the pad straight away with cold tap water to remove blood from the inside and surface of the pad. Watch out - warm and hot water can set bloodstains so only use cold to rinse. It's also best not to let the pad dry before rinsing to minimise stains.
5. Put the pads into the laundry basket and add to your next dark washing load (within a couple of days).
6. Machine wash your pads (unbuttoned and open) with other dark coloured clothes at 30 or 40 degrees. Use a non-bio detergent and avoid any fabric softener or bleach. If a stain does develop, use a stain removal soap bar to gently rub and remove the stain before washing.
7. To dry the pads, flatten them out and air dry naturally either indoors or on the washing line. Do not tumble or radiator dry as this can damage the PUL. Sunlight naturally lifts any stains.
8. Once dry, store your pads somewhere safe and dry and away from pets - wherever suits you best.
PAD SIZES
Our absorbent pads come in four sizes to handle all types of periods and bladder leaks. For full details and dimensions see our full size guide here.
FEATURES
Charcoal Bamboo
The soft charcoal bamboo top layer of each pad is anti-odour, anti-bacterial, breathable and toxin-free. It quickly wicks away blood and moisture into the pad and away from your skin.
Black PUL
Our pads were designed to be stylish and stain-resistant, and made to the highest quality, so each pad has a black waterproof PUL bottom layer that keeps you safe and leak-free during your period.
Microfibre Core
Inside each reusable pad there are microfibre core layers, which are ultra-absorbent, keeping you dry and comfortable for hours. Our pads are more absorbent than comparable disposables.
Double Poppers
Our colour-coded double popper buttons ensure the most comfortable and secure fit, which minimises movement and sliding of the pads in your pants. Choose between 2 'tightness' settings.
Easy Wash
Easy to wash and discreet to dry, our reusable towels suit all flows. After use just rinse with cold water and then add to your next load of dark washing. Machine wash at 30 or 40 degrees then dry naturally.
ECO Packaging
Our pads come in a plastic-free, 100% recycled kraft paper box, recyclable and compostable. Save on waste, landfill and pollution with both packaging and the pads, which when cared for last 2-5+ years.
