These grey reusable cloth pads are a great introduction to zero waste periods. An eco-friendly alternative to disposable period pads, they are suitable as reusable panty liners, for light flow or as a backup to a menstrual cup.
Each set includes 3 soft, comfortable pads in grey. Each pad is approx 18 x 18cm.
To use: The white toweling goes against your skin, and the grey side against your underwear, snapping closed with the adjustable poppers. Each reusable pad is made from soft bamboo terry with a PUL backing to ensure there are no leaks, and a super absorbent microfibre core. Also suitable for use as incontinence pads.
Once used, simply rinse them through with cold water, pop them in your washing machine as usual and air dry - then they're good to go again! Full instructions are included with your pads.
💡 Good to know! All orders are posted out in discrete, plastic free packaging.

Why make the switch to reusable pads?: On average, a person who menstruates typically uses between 12,000 to 16,000 disposable menstrual products during their lifetime, and recent research suggests that this can add up to a staggering £18,000. But it's not just your wallet that takes a hit: most pads contain polyethylene plastic which is a harmful pollutant, and many tampons contain chemicals such as dioxin, chlorine and rayon. Sitting in landfill, these chemicals can soak into the earth and enter groundwater. Reusable period pads will save you money over time, and help you significantly reduce waste.
NOTE: Reusable pads don't have the adhesive strip of disposable pads, so they need to be used slightly differently. The type of underwear you wear them with can make all the difference for helping to keep them in place without glue! Choose close fitting, wide gusset underwear which the pad can snugly wrap around to keep it in place.
