Description

Ecoelephant’s reusable, washable zero-waste menstrual pads are the ideal way to break free of the pink tax, making your periods less stressful, while saving the environment a ton of waste! This pattern has a wide berth around the top and bottom, to prevent leaking – a great design for sporty or active days.

Made from soft and absorbent materials, Ecoelephant’s menstrual pads are non-irritating and comfortable to wear. They are designed with wings to hold them in place, secured by a snap at the crotch. The top comes in a variety of pretty prints and colours, and the backing fabric (that touch your panties) comes in black softshell to prevent it slipping and sliding around in your underwear. It has high-quality plastic stud presses that will last many years, and will never rust.

The pads have high-quality stitching and trims, are made from quality fabrics, and will last 7 – 10 years, if cared for properly.

Being free from all the synthetic chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) that disposable pads and tampons contain, these pads are less likely to cause irritation to the highly permeable vaginal area. Ditto for all the chemicals these pads will not release into the ecosystem, unlike their disposable counterparts!

Please note it is not entirely waterproof, but does provide reinforced moisture absorption and very good moisture management for heavy flow, for up to 8 hours.

Directions for use:

  • Lay the pad inside your panties / briefs, with the fluffy black softshell facing the underwear (i.e. the soft smooth printed side facing your skin).
  • Fold the wings underneath the panty, then clip the plastic studs firmly together.
  • Wear as you would a disposable menstrual pad, but take it out after a few hours (typically 4 – 8), replace with another clean pad.
  • Rinse immediately after use under cold water, ring out excess water, if needed – rub stains with natural soap like boerseep /laundry stick and soak them for a bit if needed. Hand wash or machine wash in cold or warm wash (up to 40c), without softener. On long cotton wash, load should be 3/4 full, so the pads receive the right agitation. Can be washed along with regular laundry or towels. Add a rinse cycle if your machine doesn’t automatically do one.
  • Drying – line dry inside/outside.
  • Do not tumble dry, iron or bleach, and do not use fabric softener.
  • Store in a dry place.
