Imse Vimse Snap Free Regular Pad Overview

Imse Vimse are one of the original cloth sanitary pad companies and they have now brought out a great range of snap free pads that sit securely in place without the need to for poppers or velcro. Snap free pads are really popular among cyclists and horse riders for comfort while exercising without the uncomfortable irritation of poppers.

The pad is made entirely of 100% organic cotton, which is so soft and wonderfully breathable and with one layer of PUL for some extra protection.  It’s great for daily use for discharge or as a complement to the menstrual cup.

Simply fold the pad over the gusset of your underwear. Wash the pad before using it for the first time as it increases the absorption capacity.

Pads FAQ's

How many pads do I need?

As a general guide for a:

  • short and light cycle 6 daytime and 3 night time
  • Average length and flow 10 day pads and 4-5 night pads
  • Longer and heavier cycles 15 day pads and 6-7 night time pads.

How To Wash Cloth Pads

Washing reusable cloth pads in the washing machine is the most effective way to care for your pads

Here is a basic guide to wash pads:

  1. When you remove your used pads rinse them thoroughly with cold water till the water runs clear. You can gently rub them to help remove as much blood as possible.
  2. Either pop them in your normal washing with other clothes or store them in a wet bag until wash day.
  3. Wash on a cold wash at either 30 or 40deg. You can use your normal detergent but avoid fabric softener.

Most companies will advise you to avoid harsh chemicals, fabric conditioner and tumble drying, as eventually it will lead to a shorter life span and issues with performance.

How To Dry Reusable Sanitary Pads

Ideally air dry your cloth sanitary pads and avoid using a tumble dryer. This helps to keep your reusable pads in better condition and is more environmentally friendly. A “sock” airer is ideal for drying them and can be hung inside in winter for quick drying. Most pads will easily dry overnight. Some pads can be tumble-dried, but this should be done on low and is best avoided as tumble drying can shrink some fabrics and remove fibres (that’s what the fluff is in the filter.)

How long will my pads last until I need to buy more to replace them?

As a general rule our suppliers expect their pads to last 5-10 years with average wear.
