Regular Pad | Single

To use your pad:

Simply place the pad in your underwear with the fluffy side towards your body, fold the wings around and underneath your gusset and snap the snaps together. (Wearing close fitting underwear during use helps to keep the pad in place)

 

We recommend changing your pad at least every 4-6 hours depending on your flow and freshness requirements. They can be worn overnight. Simply fold the old pad up and clip the snaps together to contain any fluid, pop in a bag and or rinse when convenient.

• Soft suede-cloth top wicks moisture away into the absorbent inner core.

• The Bamboo core has four times the durability and absorption of cotton. Bamboo has anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties; a fast-growing crop that requires less water and processing to produce and therefore has less impact on our environment.

• The pad is backed with a fast-drying polyester knit that has been bonded to a breathable and waterproof polyurethane film, that will last up to 1000 laundry cycles!
