What material are Reusable Pads made of?
The first layer that comes in contact with the skin is made of hypoallergenic and ecological bamboo fabric, perfect for sensitive skin. It keeps you fresh and neutralizes odors.
The inside of the pads is made of super-absorbent microfiber. These fiber is made of 70% bamboo fiber and 30% cotton.
The 2 layers of super absorbent bamboo microfiber make it up to 3 times more absorbent than a disposable pad.
Finally, the bottom is a waterproof and breathable 100% polyester synthetic fabric to prevent leakage even during heavy flow days.
What certifications do our reusable Reusable Pads have?
All Reusable Pads components (inner fabric, bottom fabric, snap buttons, etc.) are SGS certified.
These certifications guarantee the absence of undesirable substances for health and skin (formaldehyde, heavy metals, chlorinated phenols, pesticides, phthalates, organotins, chlorinated benzene and toluene, carcinogenic or allergenic dyes, etc.).
What do I do if there are stains on my pad?
To ensure that no stains remain, it's ideal to pre-wash and let your pads dry in the sun, as it makes them dry naturally, has antimicrobial properties and whitens.
If the stain is still not removed, you can try putting a few drops of hydrogen peroxide directly on it and let it dry in the sun without rinsing.
This is a tip as an eventual bleaching technique, not said to clean your cloth pads as a protocol or as a regular wash. Hydrogen peroxide is very abrasive and should only be used occasionally to ensure that the fabric does not deteriorate.
In any case, if the stain is not completely removed, it is not a problem. It does not mean that it is dirty. And you are the only one who is going to use it!
