Why use Reusable Menstrual Pads | Öko-Pads?
Many benefits for you and for the environment
Better leak protection: The hemp fleece core is super absorbent and backed by a breathable, waterproof layer that prevents leaks.
Gentle on skin: The fabric in contact with the skin is 100% natural fibre. This reduces the risk of skin irritation, allergic reactions and infection.
Reduced environmental impact (and spending): We estimate that 10,000 menstrual products are thrown out in a lifetime. The lifespan of an Öko-Pad is at least 6 years. And don’t forget the money saved each month by not buying boxes of pads!
Comfort: Öko-Pads are truly comfortable thanks to their ergonomic shape, thin design and soft texture. Plus, since hemp has natural antibacterial properties, they help control odour.
Made with care:
We are proud to offer high quality products made in Québec, Canada. We have been gaining expertise in the manufacture of reusable menstrual products since 2009, long before these items were readily available on the market. The research and development process for Öko-Pads involved years of tests, trial and error, and a quest for the best materials. The materials that comprise each Öko-Pad have been meticulously selected for their comfort, function, durability, and their environmental impact. Using organic cotton, hemp fleece, a waterproof layer of laminated cotton and ultra-slim snaps, we have created an Öko-Pad that provides unmatched comfort for the user.

How to use Reusable Menstrual Pads | Öko-Pads
How to secure the pad
Easy as 1-2-3, securing an Öko-Pad is not much different than using a disposable pad.
Close the wings around the gusset of your underwear using the two snaps. The wider part of the pad goes at the front of your underwear.
Choose tight-fitting, cotton underwear for best results.
Individual Storage Pouches or How to Use Öko-Pads Away From Home
Using Öko-Pads when you’re out and about isn’t much different from using disposables. All Öko-Pads fit our Individual Storage Pouch (included or sold separately, depending on the collection).
Heading out for the day? Monday morning meetings and menstruation? No problem! When you change your pad, keep the storage pouch and:
1.

Slide the used pad inside the empty pouch
2.

Pull out the “To Wash” tag
The pouch has a “To wash” tag designed to be pulled out when you put your used pad in, or tucked away when your pad is clean. This way you can easily tell what needs to be washed when you get home. Super practical!

The Interlabial Pad
