Reusable / Washable Sanitary Wear
If your initial reaction on coming across this page
is to move quickly to another page, then you are not alone! But we urge
you to stay long enough to read a little further - many women find reusable
sanitary protection is easier to use than the disposable varieties,
and actually makes a lot of sense!
There are lots of reasons why women choose to use reusable
sanitary wear - increased comfort, decreased cost and impact on the
environment. Disposable pads, especially of post-partum thickness, are
often stiff and uncomfortable, and over the years create a significant
volume of waste that ends up in landfill too. Why not treat yourself
to extra comfort for your tender bits? Or if pads aren't your thing
why not have a look at the modern alternative to tampons, the Mooncup.

Organic Cotton Sanpro pads from Imse Vimse
- Flexible Two Part System
Sanpro pads made from organic cotton with an outer waterproof 'shell'
and the flexibility to add the required amount of absorbency
Imse
Vimse washable sanitary pads are made of 100% natural, pure, environmentally-friendly
cotton that is guaranteed free from chemicals. This gentle fabric allows
your skin to breathe, helping to keep you feeling fresh and healthy. The
Imse Vimse two part system consists of an outer pocket, with wings, which
is secured into place around your underwear with a small plastic popper
fastening. The pocket is reinforced with a hidden layer of thin and silent
polyurethane laminate to make it leakproof.
You can then select the required absorbency level of pads you put into
the pocket to suit your flow and you can add more than one pad for heavier
days. Imse Vimse Flexible 2-part kit contents: 1 mini pad/panty liner,
6 regular pads, 2 outer pockets for regular pads, 1 night pad, 1 outer
pocket for night pads, 1 fabric bag to keep the set in. Two or three
sets will probably be sufficient for one menstrual period. The pockets
will likely not need changing with every pad change.
Laundering Store the pads in a small
bucket or waterproof bag. Before machine-washing, machine or bucket
rinse the pads in cold water with some salt or Imse Vimse's special
laundry soap. Machine washing at 60°C should be sufficient (though
the pads can be washed at up to 90°C if required). Hang to dry or
tumble dry on low heat.
