Reusable Cloth Pads
Soft, washable bamboo terry pads and liners that replace disposables for periods and bladder leaks. This page is the short version of how they work, how to pick the right one, and what you save. When you know what you need, the pages below take you straight there.
Start here: which one do you need?
- Work out your flowLight days and spotting want a liner. Everyday to moderate wants a Maxi Pad. Heavy days and overnight want a Super Pad. Bladder leaks follow the same scale, light to heavy.
- Match it to absorbencyA liner holds about two tampons' worth, a Maxi Pad about three, and a Super Pad about four. Pick the one that covers your heaviest day, and a lighter option for the rest.
- Dark side or light side, by productThe Super Pad and the Extended Liners have a dark absorbent side that hides staining. The Maxi Pad and the other liners have a light one that lets you see your flow. The colour does not change how much they hold.
- Buy a set and saveA set lowers the per-pad price and comes with a carry bag. Most women start with one set and add a second once they trust it.

What bamboo terry is, and why it matters
The layer that sits against your skin is bamboo terry. It is soft, it breathes, and it pulls fluid away quickly so you are not sitting in dampness. That breathability is the whole point. A plastic disposable traps heat and damp against your skin, and that is where the rash so many women blame on themselves actually comes from.
On the outside is a leak-proof backing that wraps through the wings, so the sides hold where a disposable gives out. Two layers, doing two jobs. No plastic top sheet, and nothing bleached or perfumed.
Dark side or light side
This comes up more than anything else, so here is the short answer. The dark or light absorbent side comes with the product. The Super Pad and the Extended Liners have a dark absorbent side, which hides the faint marks a cold rinse leaves behind, so it looks clean for years. The Maxi Pad and the other liners have a light side, which lets you see your flow. The colour does not change how much they hold.
What you actually save
A heavy cycle can run through twenty disposables or more. Every month, that is a packet or two in the bin. Over the 5+ years a reusable set lasts, that adds up to hundreds of pads and a few hundred dollars spent on something you throw away.
A reusable set is a one-time cost that lasts years. You wash it instead of buying it again. That is the saving, and it is the reason most women never go back once they switch.
