All in all, I think it’s a great idea for those of us with heavy flows that don’t feel that comfortable when wearing pads, but at the same time don’t have the guts to try other options. I do think it’s a very innovative solution that’s still in the process of being perfected and improved, so maybe in a couple of months or perhaps a year, we’ll be having an optimized product that will represent more comfortable periods. I’m seriously quite excited about this one to be honest. Commenting on the launch, celia Pool, DAME co-founder said: “Interlabial pads might be a lesser-known period product at present, but we are so excited to be spreading the word of this mini pad and its fantastic uses. Here at DAME, our mission is to make periods positive, so we are thrilled to be making this product using offcuts, causing as little harm to our environment as possible.” Most of the pads in my shop are super absorbent, all the way from the extra small to the 18-inch. All of our pads have the same three layers. We do not have pads with more than three layers because it’s not needed. A great tip is to just rinse your pad off in the shower. Once you’ve completely rinsed it, you can store it in your menstrual bag. If you don’t have time to get in the shower, use cold water in the sink to rinse it out. When your period is over, wash all of your pads in the washing machine. Created to solve the product of a leaking pad, an interlabial pad is a small piece of fabric that is inserted into the labia to control the flow of a period and prevent sudden gushes. The biggest problem to date, says the brand, is how difficult these pads are to come by: ‘Interlabial pads aren’t exactly a fixture in the period aisle’.

If you’re looking for an additional form of period protection, then consider using them While not popular, they do have some devoted fans of them. In particular, the following people may want to consider them: Zorb can soak up ten times its own weight under two seconds and is specifically designed for diapers and reusable pads. It can also absorb up to 20 times faster than bamboo and hemp. Two layers of Zorb can replace up to eight layers of flannel, six layers of french terry, and five layers of fleece.

Sewing a pattern on the pad can help keep the layers in place through washing and use. It can also help to keep the layers from billowing if you are doing one of the rolls.If you’re considering using an Interlabial Pad, you might also be thinking about reusable cloth pantyliners. Which one is right for you? Do we recommend one over the other? We have three different kinds: overnight, cotton, and supers. The overnight and supers are both made with Zobra and the cotton is made with cotton velour. As far as which option is best? We’d recommend reusable pantyliners hands down. They’re far easier to use (they fit into place with snaps on the wings), and stay in place much better than an Interlabial pad.

It’s hard to predict if you’ll fall into either of these categories of people until you try interlabial cloth petals for yourself. But, if they don’t work, they don’t work for you. Switch to something like reusable cloth pads and don’t worry about it! Care and Cleaning of Interlabial Pads Women do not want to use toxic chemical laden cotton or rayon knowing there is a connection to cancers and delicate tissue of their vaginas and other female anatomy,” says Dr. Elizabeth Trattner. “Many women are tired of using a pad that cannot be recycled and seems wasteful, facial tissues that have chemicals and can slide around in underwear, or a tampon, which is a big waste for a tiny amount of fluid.” Below is a list of specific fabrics you need to look for when you choose your reusable menstrual pads. I’ve also shared a list below of the pads from my shop designed for all of us with super heavy flows.

As far as how they compare to Interlabial Pads, we personally prefer period panties. They perform a similar function (extra protection), but are far more secure. Plus you don’t have to deal with them when going to the bathroom because you just pull them down like you would regular underwear.

Fans of sea sponges like to note that they are more comfortable than tampons and can be worn during intercourse. Detractors worry about the cleanliness and find removal can sometimes be messy. As with other alternative menstrual products, there is a learning curve. The major negative is that period panties are quite a bit more expensive than intralabial pads, often 3-4x more. Is it worth it? Perhaps yes, perhaps no. It’s up to you! Even if you think you have a Niagara Falls period, we actually don’t bleed that much. On average, people menstruate approximately 70 to 80 milliliters of fluid, which is equal to a double shot of espresso. That’s it! Zorb is an Ameican-made fabric that is completely free of chemicals such as phthalates, pfoas, pfos, lead, dioxins, heavy metals, and it’s hypoallergenic. It’s a super innovative fabric designed to capture and evenly distribute fluid. It is a blend of cotton, bamboo, and tencel interspered in polyester nylon. The other reason why you might want to use a pantyliner instead of interlabial pad is that they stay in place better. You can move around, exercise, go pee and not have a second thought about it. An interlabial pad? Not so much. Compare Reusable Cloth Pantyliners

Period panties can be great for anyone with a super heavy flow, those who need extra protection overnight, or anyone with a light flow tired of wasting liners. Setting the bar for quality, New Moon Pads are trim, beautiful, absorbent, economical, environmentally friendly, and amazingly comfortable. Only the highest quality fabrics are used to ensure the best absorbency, comfort, and longer than normal pad life and durability.

We recommend washing Interlabial pads in a mesh washing bag like other small items to prevent them getting caught in the door seal. You will automatically receive a free cotton mesh laundry bag when you buy 5 or more Interlabial pads. One last very important thing: wear your reusable pads with period panties. When I know I’m going to be sleeping and I don’t want to get up in the middle of the night, I wear period panties to make myself feel a little bit more secure.
