Menstruation, also known as a period,is the regular discharge of blood and mucosal tissue from the
inner lining of the uterus through the vagina. Sanitary pad/towel is an absorbent pad/item worn by
women to absorb menstrual blood.

Cloth sanitary pads or reusable pads are the reusable alternative to standard disposable pads . They
are made from body and ECO FRIENDLY cloths, CHEMICAL FREE, COST EFFECTIVE and as such healthier
than the conventional disposable pads. They are simply placed in your underwear but instead of
fastening with sticky wings, they popper around the gusset.

Reusable menstrual pads are often more absorbent than the disposable kind and so much more
comfortable. They smell less, looks good, itch less and are less likely to cause allergic reactions or
rashes.

Reusable period pads essentially act like any other piece of clothing. You use them, wash them, dry
them and then use them again.

They are sustainable and easy to clean. When it’s time to change your pad, you simply place it in a wet
bag instead of throwing it away. Some people rinse their pads by hand, but you can also rinse them in
the washing machine before the main wash which is easier. After washing, hang them up to dry, ready
for their next use.

Unlike the conventional and widespread disposal pad, reusable pads does not poise the problem of
environmental handling as it can be easily burn to ashes once it wear out. This reduces the mass of
waste in the environment as it can be reused over time compare to the conventional disposable pad
whereby a single female on average disposes 5 – 10 pads monthly that won’t be recycled or even leave
the environment in substantial amount of years to come.
Women and girls often try reusable pads for ethical, environmental and sustainable reasons but stick
with them because they’re genuinely comfortable, easy to use, and good for the body.
If you feel nervous about making the switch, start gradually. Start using them over night or while at
home. You’ll catch the love bug in no time!
