We truly want to emphasise that each person and their period experience is so unique and these suggestions are just a rough guide to reflect on when building your own hannahpad collection.
The key is to transition slowly and gradually. The biggest wash rule with cloth pads is NO fabric softener! Fabric softener in the washer OR dryer will cause your pads to repel instead of absorb. Here are 3 tips for washing cloth pads. A- Let's start by saying that all 3 are great options! We choose only the best fabrics that can hold up over time, are easy to wash and are comfortable.
Minky is a stain-resistant polyester fabric that is commonly used to make baby blankets. It is so soft you will want to pet them. No joke! Bamboo absorbs faster than minky but is not stain resistant. Cotton is the coolest temperature-wise fabric, it has zero "fluff" to it and may stain but it absorbs quickly.
Cotton is a great choice for hot humid climates. A- Our pads have a hidden inner middle core made of a highly absorbent fabric called Zorb. Zorb is manufactured in the USA to be used in cloth diapers but we love how well it works in pads too! Zorb is non-allergenic and it's one job is to absorb and it does it well! The reason we choose to use Zorb is because of how quickly it absorbs, the large quantity of fluid it can hold and the fact that it is dry in about half a dryer cycle compared to other fabrics that can make pads take two dryer cycles to dry all the way through.
Zorb also stays squishy soft after years of use and doesn't get bunchy and stiff like bamboo and cotton cores can. A- Yes! Since the fabric we use inside our pads actually made for cloth diapers it has super absorption powers!
Some only need pantyliner absorbency while others have greater needs and prefer our day or night pads. For incontinence use we recommend our bamboo topped pads as they absorb the fastest.
Check out our guide on using menstrual cups the right way here. This question depends on one thing — your access to water. For this, it has to be soaked in water and then washed with soap or detergent and then dried.
While cups can be far easier to handle because they just have to be emptied into a toilet and then washed with water. Once the cycle is over, they have to be sanitised. This minimizes water use and can also be easily done while travelling as well. Having said that, u ltimately, the choice between a reusable cotton pad and a menstrual cup depends on the person.
Both cotton pads and cups are miles ahead of regular sanitary napkins in terms of the environmental impact and how they feel when used. Always seek the guidance of your doctor or other qualified health professional for any questions you may have regarding your health or a medical condition.
