Curious about reusable menstrual pads? Learn why more women are making the switch — and how cloth pads compare to disposables in comfort, cost and sustainability.
Why More Women Are Switching to Reusable Menstrual Pads
Let’s face it — disposable pads haven’t changed much in decades.
They’re often uncomfortable, filled with plastics and chemicals, and contribute to tonnes of landfill waste each year.
That’s why more women across Australia are making the switch to reusable menstrual pads — a safer, softer, and more sustainable choice for period care.
Here’s what you need to know if you’re considering the switch.
What Are Reusable Menstrual Pads?
Reusable pads are cloth pads made with soft, absorbent fabric and a waterproof backing.
They’re worn just like disposables — but instead of tossing them out, you wash and reuse them.
Our Reusable Menstrual Pads are designed with a bamboo charcoal layer for odour control, super-absorbent layers, and a leak-proof outer to keep you protected all day (or night).
Benefits of Reusable Period Pads
1. Chemical-Free Comfort
No bleaches. No fragrances. No harsh plastics. Just soft, breathable fabric against your skin — ideal for women with sensitivities or irritation.
2. Cost Savings That Add Up
The average woman spends over $100 a year on disposable period products. Our pads can be reused for up to 5 years — meaning hundreds of dollars saved.
3. Eco-Friendly and Waste-Free
Disposable pads can take 500+ years to break down. Switching to reusables means dramatically less waste, every cycle.
4. Reliable Leak Protection
Our pads come in multiple sizes — from light liners to overnight pads — with waterproof backing and secure wings that snap around your underwear.
5. Feel-Good Factor
You’re not just choosing a better product — you’re making a better choice for your body and the planet.
How Do You Use Them?
-
Snap the pad around the gusset of your underwear
-
Change every 4–6 hours (or as needed)
-
Store used pads in a small wet bag if out and about
How Do You Wash Them?
-
Rinse with cold water after use (or soak if needed)
-
Machine wash on a gentle or warm cycle
-
Line dry in the sun where possible
No bleach, no fabric softener — just a simple, natural clean.
How Many Do You Need?
That depends on your flow and how often you wash. A basic setup includes:
-
6–10 pads for light to moderate flows
-
2–3 overnight pads
-
A Wet Bag for carrying used pads when out
