A perfect starter pack for those new to cloth pads – this bundle contains 3 pads of different sizes/absorbencies (S/M/L) and a wet bag for safe storage and discretion when out and about or at home.
These fabulous pads from Earthwise Girls are made from easy care fabrics that are simple to wash and dry, and resistant to stains. The top layer of microfleece gives a stay dry feel to the pad, while moisture is locked away in the microfiber core. The pads are backed with leak-proof PUL, and have a choice of 2 popper settings on the wings to suit your needs, which also help to prevent slippage.
The compact wet bag is the perfect accessory for those worried about how to change or store pads if you need to change whilst out and about. Simply pop your used pad in the waterproof wet bag after you change, and when you get home you can put the whole lot in the wash when you are ready (the bag and any used pads).
Machine wash at up to 40 degrees, and air dry
THE WHY?
Conventional pads are made of up to 90% plastic. Most tampons also contain plastic in them, even in the string.
Figures from the Marine Conservation Society reveal that on average, 4.8 pieces of menstrual waste are found per 100 metres of beach cleaned. Not only is that bad for the environment, it’s hardly the idyllic backdrop for your day trip to the beach.
One way to help stop this is to make the switch to reusable menstrual products like these cloth pads or a menstrual cup such as the moon cup.
Not only will you be helping the environment but very quickly you will be saving money too, rather than forking out for disposable products each month. It’s estimated you can save over £4000 over a period of 10 years.
