PLEASE NOTE BEFORE PURCHASING: We will not accept returns of any feminine hygiene, menstrual or intimate products such as reusable pads, menstrual cups and sponges, yoni eggs or underwear.
These reusable pads are made in the Woman-Kind Fair Trade workshop in Kommetjie, Cape Town. The pads are created using absorbent cotton fabric.
- Pack of 2 large reusable cloth sanitary pads
- Made from 100% cotton in a funky, colourful pattern
- Soft, absorbent & breathable; no synthetic fibres, glues or plastics
- Easy to clean & care for
- Affordable & cost-effective, saving money & waste
- Design includes “wings” that can be fastened with a press-stud
Better for you: Because these reusable pads are not worn internally, they eliminate the risk of toxic shock syndrome (TSS) associated with tampons.
Better for the planet: Reusable pads give you years of use, while ordinary disposable pads can take as long as 500 years to biodegrade!
All Woman-Kind products include an informative leaflet, and are hygienically packaged in biodegradable eco-plastic packets from Green Home.
Please Note: The “funky fabric” pads will vary in colour, as we mix things up to keep things fun. The outside will be made of different colour towelling, with the outside bottom in a funky complementary fabric.

4 out of 5 people would recommend this product
28/06/2016, By PaulaThese are a great idea because
- less waste
- local
But think they need to refine their design. My experience was as follows:
- leaks very very quickly. The blood just runs through to your panty. There is no barrier to force the blood to spread into the rest of the pad, so the size of the pad is a bit irrelevant;
- I do not like the black color (not a problem with the other colors) as you cannot see the blood and have no idea of how full the pad is, what your flow is like;
- The metal fastening came off one of the pads after one wash (I have about 10 pads in total from womankind and this happened with two of the pads)
- The small size pad feels
opey between your legs, it is not broad enough to create a flat area against our body
I would not recommend it to anyone but a die-hard greeny, as this might put you off the idea of leaving behind your mainstream pads and tampons.
Small changes from the manufacturer will make a HUGE difference.18/02/2016, By SamanthaI have very sensitive skin and have had problems with most sanitary products for quite a while so I decided to try these reusable pads. To be entirely honest they did take a while to get used to as they are quite thick, but I did not find them any trouble to clean if you have enough for rotation. They are very absorbent and are much less irritating then conventional pads but you do end up washing more than usual. After giving them a fair shot I much prefer them to the menstrual cup which I found to cause slight irritation. Overall a great product that I would recommend to others, especially if you have sensitive skin.25/11/2015, By AndreaI use the sea sponge tampons with the fabric pads and found it very comfortable. It was no hassle to clean either of them. On my heavier flow days I use my MiaCup with the fabric pads and on the lighter days the sea sponge tampons. In my last cycle I did not even have cramps and the fabric pads contained any leaks I experienced on the heavy days. I can recommend these products wholeheartedly. It is great not to have to throw away disposables or buy any so I saved a lot of money in the old end.01/09/2015, By KerryI ordered the Woman-Kind Reusable Menstrual Pads (2 Large and 2 Small) and was very happy with the combination. Easy to clean, comfortable to wear (day and night). Needed less frequent changes than disposables in comparison. No leaks, highly absorbent. I got a very quick answer to a query I sent to the contact person from Woman-Kind. Did not irritate skin at all (again comparing to disposable products). Was so nice to not create waste.30/06/2015, By ImogenI absolutely love my fabric pads.
They are comfortable, super absorbent, easy to clean and does not move around while you
e wearing them.
I would highly recommend this product to all woman out there!!!
Very well priced
