Is washing your reusable pads worrying you?
Worried About Washing Your Reusable Menstrual Pads?
One of the most common questions we hear from first-time users is: “How do I wash reusable pads?”
The good news is that caring for reusable menstrual pads is simple. With a few easy steps, your Unipads can remain clean, comfortable, and effective for months to come.
-
Rinse or Pre-Soak
After use, rinse the pad in cold water to remove excess blood. You may also soak it in cold water for a short period before washing. This helps prevent stains from setting and makes cleaning easier.
-
Wash with Mild Detergent
Wash the pad by hand or in a washing machine using a mild detergent. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, or harsh chemicals, as they can affect the absorbency and durability of the fabric.
Tip: Cold or lukewarm water works best. Hot water can set blood stains and reduce the lifespan of the pad.
-
Dry Completely
Once washed, gently squeeze out excess water and allow the pad to dry completely before storing it.
Whenever possible, air-dry your pads in fresh air or sunlight. Proper drying helps keep the pads fresh and ready for their next use.
-
Store in a Clean, Dry Place
Once completely dry, store your Unipads in a clean and dry place until your next cycle. Proper storage helps maintain hygiene and extends the life of the product.
That’s It!
Reusable menstrual pads are designed to make periods more affordable, sustainable, and comfortable. With just a little care, your Unipads can be used again and again, helping you save money while reducing menstrual waste.
Simple to wash. Easy to reuse. Better for you and the planet.
