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:
- 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.
- Either pop them in your normal washing with other clothes or store them in a wet bag until wash day.
- 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.

I bought these for my daughter, she was amazed how soft and comfortable they were. I think you have a new fan for re-usable products now. Excellent

Ok but room for improvement 10 October 2019 | Jay
These are a little larger and bulkier than I was expecting for a panty liner. They are nice and soft, however they move around and don’t always stay in place depending on the underwear I’m wearing / activity I’m doing so I’m not sure, based on this experience, that I would be ready to make a full switch and use fabric pads during my period bc I would be worried they too would move around and that this could cause some issues with leakage and stains on my clothes etc. They also take a very long time to dry which isn’t very convient and I had to pop them into the tumble dryer bc after 2 days they were still damp. The fact that it is not recommended to use Fabrice softener with these types of products also means popping in the washing machine with the rest of your washing isn’t as convient as initially advertised. All in all, I use them but I’m not entirely sold on the concept yet and certainly wouldn’t run the risk of using them during my period. Perhaps two popper buttons so size / grip on underwear can be adjusted would be something to consider adding.
