Eco Femme Cloth Pad Starter Bundle (Save 10%)
SingaporeAwesome alternative
Great starter pack for normal period use, with or without cup. Just keep in mind it's cloth, so if it gets oversaturated, it will seep to your undies. That aside, I'm really happy with my first try at reusable pads!
SingaporeSurprisingly great
Was really hesitant to try reusable pads because of the changing of pads etc and thought it was gonna be disgusting and messy to carry around the soiled pad. But it can surprisingly hold up the entire day's flow without the need to change. I use menstrual cup on the first 2-3 days of my period with the pantyliner and the maxi/regular size pads thereafter when my flow is not so heavy anymore. Only con I'd say is washing it (and trying to make sure I get the stain out). Definitely recommend getting this coloured version instead of the white colour ones, because even the coloured ones will leave a very slight stain. I like that it's quite breathable, and I didn't get any heat rash which I sometimes do when using normal disposable pads.
SingaporeGreat pad that is eco-friendly, comfortable and works well
Pros - Thick with minimal leakage (tip is to probably wear a snug fitting underwear) - Comfortable (much more than disposable ones) - Reduce waste and also economical in the long run Cons - Stains can be pretty difficult to wash off: now I tend to soak it with soap overnight - Material can fray quite badly, so try to avoid scrubbing it too much when washing (it's not the scrubbing that gets the blood off anw)
SingaporeWill be purchasing more!
Love them. I have heavy periods and work long shift hours - occasionally I may not have time to change pads if it gets real busy. I was worried I might overflow as I sometimes do with long disposable pads but not a problem for these! (I use the overnight pads for long shifts) They’re comfortable and I don’t get the skin irritation I might get if I had a disposable pad on for too long. Not to mention I don’t make crinkly-noises like I’m wearing a diaper when I move. Washing has been ok too! I usually let it soak a bit in some cold water then rinse/wash a bit by hand to get the bulk of blood out before chucking them into the machine. Really glad to have found a Sg based company to purchase from. Will be getting more and recommending to friends!
SingaporeComfortable and soft
The pads are soft and comfortable. They don't absorb very well on the first use (as mentioned in the product details), but after a few washes they do work well. Glad to have found reusable period products for a nice bundle set.
