Intimate care

The cloth napkins are OEKO-TEX certified. It is not a 100% guarantee for a chemical-free product, so please wash them a few times before use just to be safe.

The fabric may fluff a little at first, but these are just loose fibers that disappear in the wash. However, they can be removed with a scraper if they do not.

Washing cloth pads

Wash your cloth pads a few times before use.

When using:

Rinse your cloth pads in cold water before washing them - possibly added a little salt.

You can also choose a cold rinse in the machine.

Then wash your cloth napkins at 60-90 degrees in the washing machine.

Preferably avoid a tumble dryer, as it wears down the PUL layer a lot.

If you have enough napkins, you can wash them all at the same time.

2 packets mini, 4 packets normal and 2 packets night are often enough for a period.

A woman uses around 3500–3700 disposable pads and tampons over a 10-year period. With cloth pads that have a lifespan of approximately 10 years, you can make do with only 15–20 pads in the same period - depending on use, washing and bleeding.

You also get rid of bleaches, glues and perfumes, which many find cause itching, irritation and rashes. Cloth pads offer a clean, soft and durable solution for your period.

Sizes and quantities

Cloth pads from Women's Place are available in four sizes:

• 20 cm (panty liners)
• 25 cm (day pads)
• 30 cm (night pads)
• 40 cm (postpartum pads or longer night pads)

Most women use approximately 3–6 panty liners, 9–12 day pads and 3–6 night pads during a menstrual period, depending on how often they wash. If you are unsure, you can start with our starter pack, which contains three different sizes.

Material and construction

• 100% organic GOTS-certified cotton
• 4 layers of absorbent cotton
• 1 layer of PUL-coated fabric (waterproof)

This makes the pads as dense and absorbent as disposable pads, but without unnecessary chemicals.

Handling and use

1. Direction: The front has two vertical seams; the back is marked with “Women’s Place”. Place the back side down against the briefs, fold the wings under and close with buttons at the back. The top cotton­ layers should face the skin, while the PUL-coated layer should face down.

2. After use: Rinse off the worst blood in cold water under the shower if possible— it preserves the life of the bandage best. If you do not rinse immediately, you can put the bandage in a wetbag (waterproof and odorproof bag) until washing. A strong odor does not form when stored in a wetbag.

Washing cloth napkins

1. Pre-wash (cold rinse): If you have not already rinsed the napkins one at a time, you can put them directly in the washing machine on a cold rinse program or hand wash them under the shower.

2. Main wash (60 °C): Wash the bandages together with other household laundry at 60 °C.

   • Avoid bleaches and fabric softeners – these can damage both cotton and waterproof PUL.

3. Drying: Hang the bandages to air dry. Do not use a tumble dryer, as the heat can destroy the waterproof coating.

4. When the pads are completely dry, they are ready for reuse.

How to use the cup

• Wash your hands. Fold the cup (e.g. U-fold).
• Insert in a comfortable position and release so that the rim can unfold completely.
• Check for a vacuum by running a finger around the rim.
• Empty as needed. For heavy flow, typically 2–3 times a day; for light days, it can be worn for up to 10–12 hours.

Cleaning & storage

• Rinse with warm water after each emptying.
• For a safe start to the cycle: boil for 2–5 minutes.
• Avoid aggressive agents (e.g. chlorine) as they can damage the silicone.
• After the cycle: wash thoroughly, dry and store in a cotton bag – not in plastic.
• Colour change over time is normal and does not affect function.
• Cleaning powder can be used as directed for thorough cleaning.

If the cup leaks or is difficult to remove

• Leaks are most often caused by the cup not being fully unfolded or sitting too high. Try a different fold, adjust the position or choose a different size.
• When removing: relax your pelvic floor, gently squeeze the base to break the vacuum, and slowly pull out.

Safety

• Always wash your hands before insertion/removal.
• Not a contraceptive. Remove the cup before sexual intercourse.
• If you experience symptoms consistent with Toxic Shock Syndrome (e.g. sudden fever, rash, vomiting, diarrhoea, dizziness), remove the cup immediately and contact a doctor.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
