Sustainable Cycles - Bamboo and Organic Cotton Reusable Menstrual pads for the ethically conscious - Earth Goddess Day Pad

Description

Want to feel like a goddess while you are menstruating? Celebrate your femeninity with our Earth Goddess Moon Pads. Made from bamboo and organic cotton, so that you feel comfortable, and your yoni can breathe.

Quality made, stitched, serged, flipped, and topped stitch, so they last for years and years.

This listing includes:
-One day pad - 10 inches point to point 2.5 inches wide when snapped (custom snap sizing available upon request)includes one complimentary liner for extra absorbancy.

The price of our pads reflect the quality of fabrics used, the quality of craft, and respectful wages for all involved in the process - from plant to pad.

Our pads are made with a 60%bamboo 40%organic cotton (oeko tex-100 certified), and a 70%bamboo 30%organic cotton french terry (oeko tex-100 certified), and include a free insertable two layer liner, making 6 layers of absorbacy. The fabrics we use are quite thin, because bamboo is up to 60% more absorbant than cotton, not to mention super soft. Thin and comfortable

Bamboo is environmentally sustainable to grow. Some processes used to make bamboo into fabric are quite the opposite. The oeko tex certification means that the harsh chemicals they test for are not present in the product or process. We source our fabrics with high standards for sustainablility, for the Earth, and the people involved in production.

Why Bamboo?
- so soft
- incredibly absorbant, means less bulky - wicks moisture away from the skin
- hypo allergenic, antimicrobrial properties
- breathable, biodegradable
- bamboo is a very fast growing plant, requiring no pesticides or herbicides, making it a sustainable renewable resource

Suggested Care:
Soak the pads in a jar of cold water for a couple hours(I recommend soaking twice to prevent staining). We recommend hand washing in cold water with a gentle, biodegradable soap, and hanging to dry in the sun (prevents staining). The thin nature of the pads makes them quick to dry...on a clothes line on a sunny day they'll be dry within hours.
The pads are machine washer and dryer safe - soak and rinse, then throw in the laundry (cold cycle) with your other colours.

Sustainable Cycles is a sisterhood of women dedicated to teaching young women to embrace their bodies and their cycles. At the same time we work to provide women with physically and consciously comforting menstruation alternatives. Our pads are sewn with love and care, quality that will last for years and years. Using only the finest of fibers, for comfort that will surprise you.
