Reusable sanitary pads

[Iverunoutofnames]

Any recommendations. DD is using period pants but worried they won’t last a whole school day so thought she could use a pad and remove that half way through the day (changing pants seems impossible as she only wears trousers).
She won’t let me make them for her btw and wants them made properly!

I love honouryourflow ones. Pricier than some but I tried cheaper ones and didn't get on with them at all

If you follow them on Facebook they have regular "happy hours" with 20% off

Honor your flow are good.

As are homestead emporium

I also really like tcs eco if you buy direct from website you can custom lengths and abosrbancies and materials

Recommend earthwise girls and luxury moon they sell a big range the lady from honor your flow is lovely aswell she does a happy hour 8-9pm on a Sunday

Great help. I think I only need a few anyway, we have plenty of pants. It’s just for school back up!

I've tried several brands and imse vimse are the brand that I like best. Earthwise girls is a good website to look at and they used to do selection packs with different brands to try.

I use Eco Femme pads and absolutely love them.

oh and although they seem popular, I wouldn't go for PUL backed. They are the ones that slid around and depending on the snap setting you use often the PUL is not entirely pulled under so any blood that hits the pul will not be absorbed and it can also rub your thighs. Much better to go for fleece backed and if you want the security if PUL get the ones with the hidden PUL.

How do reuseables stay put in your knickers?

@IveSeenThings they have wings with poppers
I've just swapped to reusable pads and wish I had done it years ago

Minivivi are very good, various lengths and absorbencies depending.

If you join the fb group you also get free postage as well

I ordered these from Amazon. I liked them so much I ordered another set. They wash well and they are comfortable.

So the popper just fastens on the outside of your knickers? Isn't that, ahem, uncomfortable to sit on? Don't the poppers dig in? (I don't have much padding!)

@IveSeenThings no, they're flat poppers and it's under your crotch so forward of where you sit IYSWIM. If you sit on your bum!

Like this

Imse vimse now do a popper-free pad. They kinda tuck into itself. Specifically for things like cycling and horseriding I think

I’ve shown DD a few. She’s deeply unimpressed by anything that isn’t just black - teenagers!

That's how i started out. I bought all black. Then i realised it was more fun to have patterns. Who'd have thought sanpro could almost make a period fun

My daughter and I use weenotions peapods and yeah, they have poppers similar to the QueenCT's picture. I've never had any discomfort with them and easy to change.

Very late to this but I really like the pads from Cheeky Wipes & have a referral code for 15% off £35 if anyone can use it.
