Frequently Asked Questions

The topper is made of either 100% Cotton, Polycotton, Cotton Jersey or Flannel. This part goes against your skin. The core is a combination of either flannelette, Zorb or both depending on the absorbency you choose. The backing is 100% Polyester Polar Fleece and acts as a water-resistant barrier.

On average you will need 10-12 pads if you wash every other day depending on how long or heavy your periods are.

Depending on your period will depend on which pad you need. Liner is for everyday use and is our least absorbent pad. Regular for those with an average flow. Heavy for those with a more than average flow and Night is our most absorbent pad to use during the night or for those who have very high flow. From one woman to another I use a Liner for the spotting either side of my cycle. I have a couple of Heavy days and changing to Regular when it starts to slow and of course a Night pad for during the night.

We have several lengths to choose from because everyone is different. If you are moving from disposable to washable measure a pad you normally buy and select the same length when purchasing a washable pad. If you are just starting out on your period journey, we suggest getting a shorter pad.

On average every 4-6 hours dependant on your flow.

Yes! Our Night pad with its highest absorbency can be worn during the night and you can select a length that suits you.

Yes! Our Night pad has our highest absorbency which can be used any part of the day or night and you can choose the length that suits you. If you need something more bespoke, please send me an email and we can discuss options to suit you.

Absolutely! Our pads can be used for light incontinence. You can choose a Liner for everyday little leaks or something with a greater absorbency for your needs. As a mum of 4, I know that even a sneeze can cause a little slip and a short liner is perfect for this.

Yes! We use a fleece backing for a water-resistant barrier which is both soft and breathable. The cotton topper which goes against your skin is soft and light. This combination feels much cooler than a disposable pad.

Yes. You can either use a prewash function your washing machine or put it in with your normal laundry but avoid using fabric conditioner as this can reduce the absorbency.

Before your first use please prewash your pad at no more than 40°C. Once you have used your pad either wash it straight away to avoid stains, however, it can be soaked in cold water (not hot as this will increase stains) until you are ready to wash them. Wash them at no more than 40°C as any hotter could cause staining. Do not tumble dry.

Yes! Whites with whites, colours with colours, but avoid using fabric conditioner as this can reduce the absorbency

At home - To avoid stains we suggest soaking your pad in cold water until it can be washed. Away - Our pads have wings with snaps so they can be folded in on themselves and snapped together to keep them tight and slip in your purse, wet bag or even a zip food bag. Soak once home to avoid stains.

To avoid staining soak your pad in cold water and wash within 48 hours.

No. This can affect the shape and the absorbency.

The pads are made to be very absorbent but, just like disposable pads, you need to change them before they become totally saturated. After wearing reusable pads for just a short while, you will have a good idea of how often you need to change them. It will depend on the pad you are wearing and your flow.

Unfortunately, no. Just like disposable pads they will soak up water making them ineffective for period protection.
