Yes, PadMad reusable sanitary pads are completely safe. Each pad is made from high-quality, breathable, and skin-friendly materials that are gentle on the body. Our products are free from harmful chemicals, plastics, and fragrances commonly found in disposable pads. With proper care, they help prevent irritation and allow for a more comfortable, natural experience during your period.
Caring for your PadMad pad is simple and hygienic:
- Step 1: Rinse in cold water after use to remove blood.
(We start with soaking for 5 to 10 mins with cold water. ( adding mild soap is optional at this stage.) Then squeeze out the bloody water and pour, then now hand-wash with cold water and soap ( avoid bleach or fabric softeners) , machine wash is also viable here.) - Step 2: Soak for a few minutes in clean water with mild soap (avoid bleach or fabric softeners).
- Step 3: Handwash or machine wash gently.
- Step 4: Dry completely in direct sunlight if possible, the sun helps disinfect naturally.
Once dry, store your pads in a clean, dry pouch until next use.
Tip: Always wash your pads after every use to maintain freshness and hygiene.
PadMad pads can last up to 2–3 years with good care. When they begin to show wear—such as thinning fabric, fraying edges, or reduced absorbency, you can dispose of them responsibly by:
- Cutting the pad into smaller pieces.
- Disposing with biodegradable waste if made from natural fibers.
- Reusing the inner layers for cleaning before final disposal.
- We encourage eco-friendly disposal to keep our environment clean and green.
None at all, especially when used correctly. In fact, many users report fewer rashes and irritations after switching to PadMad pads.

Just like disposables, reusable pads should be changed every 4–6 hours, depending on your flow. After changing, wash the pad right away or store it in a waterproof pouch until you can clean it. Each pad should be washed after every use, before reuse.
