Yes - They're easy to wash.

Tiny note:
Avoid bleach and fabric softener, which can affect absorbency.

FAQs

Are Day Pads bulky?

They are more substantial than a disposable liner because they are made from cotton fabrics and removable inserts. Most pad users adjust quickly. If you are switching from tampons or cups, start with one pad or a sampler before building a full stash.

What’s the difference between Day Pad and Day Pad Plus?

Day Pad Plus is longer and slightly wider when snapped, so it gives more front/back coverage.

Can I use Day Pads for light leaks?

Yes, many customers use them for light leaks. Choose Day Pad Plus if you want more coverage.



Should I choose organic or colorful cotton?

Choose organic if you prefer organic cotton fabrics or have especially sensitive skin. Choose colorful cotton if you want more print options at a lower price.





How do I wash them?

Separate the inserts, machine wash cold, and dry low or line dry. Avoid bleach and fabric softener.







How many do I need?

Start with one if you are testing. Choose a 3-pack if you know you want reusable pads in your rotation. Choose a kit if you want to cover more of your cycle and get extra savings.
