How many reusable sanitary pads do I need for a menstrual cycle?

The number of washable sanitary pads you need for a menstrual cycle varies from person to person, but a good guideline is to have between six and twelve pads on hand. Because reusable pads work much the same way as disposable pads, you can use the number you normally use.

Step-by-step plan: how to wash reusable long-term sanitary pads?

Fortunately, cleaning reusable sanitary pads isn't too difficult! Below is a 3-step plan for cleaning washable sanitary pads.

Rinse the washable sanitary pads

Rinse the washable sanitary pad under cold water immediately after use. Then soak the pad in cold water for a while. If you're not washing the pad immediately, it's better to let it soak in cold water until you're ready to wash it.

Was it reusable sanitary pad?

Wash the sanitary pads in the washing machine at 40/60 degrees Celsius (depending on the manufacturer; check the care label). Use a biological detergent, free of perfumes and whiteners.

Byoms probiotic detergent or Planet Pure universal detergent are excellent detergents for this purpose. Avoid fabric softeners, as these can impair the absorbency of the washable sanitary pads.

Dry the reusable sanitary pads

Dry the pads on a clothesline indoors or outdoors. Avoid the dryer, as this can cause the pads to shrink.

Tip: Collect used washable sanitary pads (after soaking them in cold water) in a wet bag and toss them in the washing machine. This way, you'll prevent any red stains on the rest of your laundry. Feel free to check out Grace is Green's wet bag range!
