Wemoon^(R) Natural Menstrual Pads have been designed to make them slim and flexible, offering you total protection, in complete comfort - click on "read more" below for full details. Wemoon Menstrual Pads are an all-in-one design (so no fiddly pieces to find & assemble, fray or lose), made from a beautifully soft, lightly quilted 100% cotton flannelette covering which encases a unique, super-absorbent core made from a revolutionary layer of completely natural fibres, capable of absorbing up to ten times its own weight in moisture. Backing this is a breathable waterproof laminate, to prevent leaks onto your underwear or clothing, so you can feel totally secure, knowing that you are protecting your body and the Earth. The pads have wings which fasten round your knickers with adjustable snaps, so they won't slip, crumple or ride, and fit all underwear; in fact they perform just like a disposable pad - or slightly better! they are washable in a normal load (soak in cold water first, to prevent staining); they are safe and hygienic; but most of all they are beautiful - so you can actually look forward to your period and celebrate it with a feeling of luxury and indulgence! With a choice of 7 different fabrics - the Organic (natural) is pictured here - there really is something to suit every mood!

Once you've decided to use washable nappies, it's only a small step to using washable menstrual pads. After all, you've already accepted that using washable nappies will save you money and make a significant contribution to reducing landfill use - but how many more menstruating women are there at any given time than babies? And most women bleed once a month for up to 35 years, and dispose of the products they use to cope with their menstrual flow. Disposable towels and tampons make a significant environmental impact, and it is easy to reduce this (and save money!) by using washable pads. It is harder, however, to find washable pads that combine comfort, ease of use and efficiency. I am therefore delighted to be able to offer you Wemoon^(R) Natural Menstrual Pads, imported from Australia.

Although the Menstrual Pads are sold individually, Wemoon^(R) have suggested the following table, to allow you to gauge how many pads you will need based on washing daily. I'm happy to say that there's also a Maxi Pad available, with double absorbency core, particularly suitable for postnatal bleeding, or even stress incontinence. The new design means the pads now have adjustable press-studs for narrow or wide crotch widths Narrow : 7cm Wide : 8cm. The slim pads now include a small size label on the underside (S, M, L), however you might find it easier to distinguish t'other from which in your drawer if you order each size in a separate colour. The pad lengths are approximately as follows: Small ~ 19.5cm; Medium ~ 22.5cm; Large & Maxi ~ 25.5cm.

Full washing instructions are supplied with every order, but in brief you should soak your used pads in cold water (with any blood stain, cold water will prevent the stain from setting) and then wash in with your nappies, or ordinary laundry, at up to 60C. The soaking water is highly nutritious, and excellent for your garden!
