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. The key is good hygiene: always wash your pads after use and ensure they are fully dry before storage or reuse. Damp pads can trap moisture and cause odor or infections.
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.
With proper washing and care, each PadMad pad can last 2–3 years, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice.

About Reusable Pads
The average woman will experience around 400 periods in her lifetime, spending over 3,500 days menstruating. Yet, for millions, the monthly cost of single-use menstrual products is simply unaffordable.
Reusable pads offer a practical, cost-saving alternative. Designed to last at least FIVE years, they can be washed, dried, and reused, providing long-term affordability. To put it into perspective, one PadMad Menstrual Kit (4-pack) costs three times less than a year’s supply of disposable pads.
For organizations, this means lower procurement costs and simplified logistics, as distribution only needs to happen once per year.
Millions of women and girls rely on unsanitary materials such as old cloth, mattress stuffing, or even reused disposable pads to manage their periods. These makeshift solutions can lead to health risks, discomfort, and embarrassment, making everyday life a challenge.
PadMad provides a safe, dignified alternative—maintaining the familiarity of cloth while ensuring superior hygiene, comfort, and protection.
Introducing drastic behavioral changes in development and humanitarian settings can be challenging. However, PadMad’s products are designed for seamless adoption:
A single menstruating individual uses around 200 disposable pads per year, contributing to massive waste challenges—especially in areas with poor waste management.
Switching to reusable pads significantly reduces waste, helping both individuals and organizations minimize their environmental footprint. Be kind to the planet—choose reusables!
PadMad pads are built to last. Designed by our dedicated Research & Design team, our pads are:
Our passion for quality has positioned PadMad as a leader in advocating for product standards and certification of reusable pads through key partnerships and collaborations.
