Aqua Teal Cloth Pad L

About the Product:

Boondh’s cloth pads offer an environmentally friendly alternative to disposable sanitary napkins. Layers of cotton are stitched into a shape that resembles a dsn, except that as compared to the latter’s lifetime utility of 4-6 hours, cloth pads can be reused for upto 5 years with appropriate maintenance. Each pad can be used for anywhere between 120-150 washes. Instead of the adhesive wings dsns have, boondh cloth pads have wings that are secured to one’s panty with a snap button. To ensure that they are leak proof, the bottommost layer of each pad is lined with a layer of pul. The absence of microfibers ensures that once the pul layer is removed and disposed separately in dry waste, the rest of the cotton layers are completely biodegradable.
You can pick a combination of your liking from 4 pad sizes, each available in 4 different color variants. We recommend starting with a set of 4-6 pads and eventually increasing as required. The raw material for the cloth pads are sourced from the textile hubs of erode and tiruppur in tamil nadu and with utmost attention being placed on quality. This is then upstitched at ford foundation, hoskote in the outskirts of bengaluru. The cloth pad manufacturing process with ford is a long lasting commitment towards building livelihoods for low income women already adopted and trained by ford.

Features:

• Can cloth pad cause rashes? The cloth pads are less harmful than synthetic disposable napkins and do not cause rashes as such.
• However, it is important to maintain hygiene, wash them regularly, sun dry them to ensure utmost care while using them.
• The cloth pad is made of cotton (which has its own considerations of water and land use in terms of sustainability) but provides the user the agency to determine the cleanliness of the product.
