How to Use Cloth Feminine Care

Using reusable feminine care cloth pads is a great way to reduce waste and promote eco-friendly menstruation. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to properly use them:

Pre-Wash Before First Use:

Before using your cloth pads for the first time, it's essential to pre-wash them. This helps improve their absorbency. Simply wash them according to the instructions provided, which often include machine or hand washing with gentle detergent.

Place the Pad Correctly:

- Lay the cloth pad in your underwear with the absorbent side facing up (design side facing up).
- Many cloth pads have wings that fold over the sides of your underwear to secure them in place.

Adjust for Comfort:

You can adjust the position of the cloth pad in your underwear to ensure it's comfortable and fits securely. The pad should be centered and cover the area where you need protection.

Change as Needed:

The frequency of changing your cloth pad will depend on your flow. Change it as often as you would with disposable pads or tampons to maintain hygiene. Some people change every 2-6 hours.

Store Used Pads:

When you need to change your cloth pad, fold it up with the absorbent side in and secure it with the wings (if present).

To accomplish this:

-have design side up

-fold top into center

-bottom into center covering the top

-fold left wing over to center on top of top and bottom

-then fold the right wing in the same way securing in place with the snap.

You can use a small wet bag or a sealable pouch to store used pads when you're out and about.


Cleaning:

After removing a used pad, rinse it in cold water to prevent stains and help remove excess blood. You can soak it in cold water for a short period before washing to aid in stain removal. Follow the manufacturer's washing instructions for best results. I personally rinse in cold water and spray small amount of Hydrogen Peroxide onto the area bled on to help remove stains.

Launder Properly:

Most cloth pads are machine washable. Use a gentle detergent without harsh chemicals, as these can affect the absorbency of the pad. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, as they can also impact the pad's effectiveness.

Air Dry:

After washing, allow the cloth pads to air dry or launder dry on low heat. Direct sunlight can help naturally disinfect and remove any remaining stains. Avoid using high heat as it can damage the fabric and reduce the pad's lifespan.

Storage:

Store your clean cloth pads in a dry and clean place until your next cycle. It's a good idea to have a designated bag or pouch for them to keep them organized and separate from your regular underwear.

Properly caring for your reusable cloth pads is not only eco-friendly but also cost-effective in the long run. With regular care and maintenance, these pads can last for several years, reducing your environmental impact and promoting a healthier menstrual routine.
