FAQ

Why reusable period pads?

Better Alternative

Our reusable pads are made with fabrics, such as bamboo charcoal fleece. Our pads are free from harsh chemicals, fragrances and bleaches, which are found in disposable pads. So, our pads are a better alternative for your body.

Comfortable & Breathable

The fabrics we use are soft, breathable and moisture wicking, helping to prevent the sticky, sweaty feeling we are all familiar with in disposable pads. This means that itching, irritation and discomfort is no longer experienced when using reusable pads.

Reliable Protection

With our highly absorbent microfibre core and waterproof layer, our reusable pads offer excellent leak protection, while still feeling slim and comfortable, so you can go about your day with confidence.

Beautiful & Reduces Waste

Our reusable pads are not only more beautiful than disposables, but they also help to reduce waste. We must remember that we are the caretakers of this Earth, as so by switching to reusable pads, you help to protect what is entrusted to us.

How do I wash my pads?

Washing your reusable pads are very simple. Check out our recommended washing instructions on our full 'Care Guide'.

Will my pad leak?

Our reusable pads are designed to provide reliable, worry-free protection. The absorbent core can hold up to 7x its weight, while a hidden waterproof layer helps to prevent leaks. But, we do still recommend changing your pads every 3-5 hours, but this will depend on your individual flow.

Note: Avoid using fabric softener as this can reduce the absorbency of your pads.

What are the pads made from?


Our reusable pads are thoughtfully made using functional and comfortable fabrics for comfort, protection, and beauty.

The top layer is a soft bamboo charcoal polyester fleece, which helps to wick away moisture quickly, leaving you feeling dry and fresh all day.

Inside is an absorbent core, made from layers of microfibre, helping to absorb and draw moisture quickly.

A PUL waterproof layer is sewn in to help protect you from leaks.

Each pad is then finished with a delicate lace fabric (polyester), adding a touch of elegance to something you use every month.

All these fabrics have been carefully thought about for its absorbency, comfort and practicality.

How do I choose the right pad size and absorbency?

Choosing the right pad depends on your flow and when you plan to wear it:

  • Panty Liner – Best for light flow, daily discharge, and the beginning and end of your cycle.

  • Regular Pad – Ideal for regular flow and comfortable day-to-day wear.

  • Heavy Pad – Designed for heavy flow, night-time use, and postpartum, offering extra absorbency and protection when you need it most.

  • Xtra Heavy Pad - Designed for those who want a little more protection during their heavier days and nights.

Many women choose a mix of sizes to suit different days of their cycle, giving flexibility and comfort throughout.

How often should I change my pad?

This depends on your flow, but as a general guide, reusable pads should be changed every 3-5 hours, or sooner if they feel full. On heavier days or overnight, you may need to change more frequently.

Listening to your body and changing your pad as needed helps maintain comfort, freshness, and hygiene throughout the day.

How many pads do I need for my cycle?

The number of pads you need depends on your flow and which sizes you use. On average, women use 1-4 pads a day, including 1 heavy flow for night time use.

So, having around 10-20 pads is recommended if you want to wash all your pads at the end of your cycle, but again, this all varies depending on your flow and the length of your period.

Many women find having a mix of sizes covers all parts of their cycle comfortably, so you always have the right pad for each day.

How should I change my pads while I am out?

Changing your pad while out is simple and discreet. We have our two-compartment pouches, one side for clean pads and the other for any used pads, so you can change your pad easily, whilst on the go.

Once you use your pad, simply just fold it and pop it closed using the snaps, and place it into one of the compartments.

How do I keep my pads stain free?

To keep your pads looking fresh, simply treat any stains before washing, using your preferred method of stain treatment.

What type of underwear should I wear?

For the best comfort and fit, we recommend wearing fitted underwear. This helps to keep your reusable pad securely in place, prevents shifting, and ensures maximum protection throughout the day.
