🌱  FAQs about the Mini Starter Set

Are reusables a ton of work?  Will I need to invest in an antique washtub and start making my own lye soap?! 

No worries!  Reusable pads are super easy to care for, taking just a few minutes each cycle.  No washboard or homemade lye soap needed!  Scroll down or click through the pics above to see our easy care routine.  And, we include instructions with every purchase to make it super-simple for you!

Will they leak? I don't want to be embarrassed!

Not only are our pads very absorbent, they are also backed with a terrific technical fabric, soft shell, which is breathable and waterproof.  As well, a special feature of our pads is the channel stitch (the fancy scallop down the centre) we add, which helps direct flow to the centre.  So, wear with confidence!

How many more pads will I need for a complete set?

Since everyone is different, we can't say exactly how many you'll want, but the beauty of this set is that it will allow you to test out three different lengths and absorbencies, to see which ones you'd like more of and what will work best for you.  You might find our blog post, How Many Reusable Pads Will I Need? helpful.

How long will these pads last?

While the standard answer is that you should your pads to last about 5 years, we find this an extremely conservative estimate.

🌱  Washing Reusable Pads

We highly recommend you wash and dry all reusable pads and liners before first use.

1. Store unrinsed pads in an open wetbag or pail until ready to wash.
2. When ready to wash, soak pads overnight in COLD water with a bit of dissolved OxiClean™ and detergent.
3. Rinse pads and treat any remaining stains. Repeat soak, if necessary.
4. Wash and dry pads with regular laundry, WITHOUT fabric softener.
